This Era is relatively new and yet much strife has been caused. The death (leaving the site) of the Empress Patty cakes and death of the Domain has caused much sadness!

Operi Imperii I

What's "Operi Imperii I" mean?

4368155 Long live Empire. The domain was an empire (Group) that died recently so I say 'Operi Imperii I' in honor of it.

Well its about time someone revived it then, ain't it

4368168 Can't. The last order of empress patty was for the Domain to become a grave.

As a wise man once told me, where there's an admin there's a way. And lucky for you I happen to know an admin, just need to know what needs a fixin'

4368180 no one is allowed to revive it.

4368147 I have not heard of such a domain, but I would like to note the destruction of Twilight's Library as a significant event for the era. Much strife was caused by such a catastrophe.

4368272 Twilights library? If its in the show then I don't think it relates here.

Operi Imperii I

No, the group, one of the largest on Fimfiction. I'm surprised you haven't heard of it. The group was officially terminated in January, so now the page image is of the burned-out remains of the Golden Oaks Library.

4368324 No one really referenced it.

Happiness*
Also the The Group Dedicated To Doing Whatever We Want Whenever We Want riots.

4368814 Shush you.

This timeline group... it's like two subfandoms are meeting for the first time. TL going down was my world for a week, but I've never heard of The Domain or these "giants" people talk about.

Other things to be mentioned: Other story-based groups rising to fill the void left by TL, like The Goodfic Bin and Let's Make You Known.
Ponky returned after two years.

We just need to find out the actual dates of when Ponky left and story news like the first publication date of Diaries of a Madman, and when Fallout: Equestria was first added to fimfiction.

4368147 Don't forget about the exposing of The Guardian and Friends as an alt of Theater Critic.

4368147 Humans are Superior is going apeshit as we speak! History in the making! We (the group) lost 9 members, and not a single person knows what's going on! Chaos at it's finest!

4375661 I'm the cause of it just so you know.

Humans are Superior is going apeshit as we speak!

As if they don't go apeshit all the time...

2013 was probably the only kind year to FIMFic, save for the epic paranoia towards original ideas.

2011-2012
Knight's coding at its faultiest, severely mishandled failtroll and hacker problems; fictions are commonly written with author's notes everywhere...except in the Author's Notes; writing styles often sped-up and dearly lacking in commas.

2013
Decent writing styles seen and being a dick is punishable...but my God are people paranoid about original story ideas!

2014-2015
As FIMFic becomes a more respected Brony outlet, Popular FIMFic users or FIMFic users who are pals with staff, start to suffer from "popularity syndrome" and start acting above the most important rules; meanwhile, increasingly social cultural direction causes massive riots, often directly the consequences of people basically being allowed to be above the rules (a bit like how dictators pit each their peoples against each other in wars); FIMFiction now so large but staff hardly grows at all, now the site's severely understaffed.

4375672 Tell me about it via PM.

4375734 Nah, all you need to know is that Iron saw Grey be banned and started a shitstorm crusade with my support. I actually fired the first shot and then we increased in stupidity with threads and Me and Iron posted Dislestia threads...

4375693 I know, right? Either way, we've shattered and reformed into HUMANS ARE MAGNIFICENT! Much like MDCCCXX, this will be an age of reform!

4375741 I hate you so little right now. I'm glad we have to make a new group. The old one was a bit TOO subtle of our vanity.

4375672
How? You strike me as the kind of guy I'd take to the pub and have a drink with while shouting at a match between two teams of grown men swatting little balls.

4375757 Revenge I say and its actually Iron who egged me on with spam threads such as burgers and nuggets.

4375755 I'm just glad the new one isn't run by alexar

4375765 Same here.

4375764

I still don't get it. Whose side were you on? Why did you do that?

4375773 noice, Between you and me we're gathering forces for an assault.

4375777 I'm on the side of the Empire of The Second Star... The splitting of HaS can benefit us in the long run.

This is the era I joined. I was actually around in 2014 too, without an account, but decided to make one early this year.

4368147

*Takes off hat* And she will be missed.

4376268 *salute*

4377756

4377767 You seeing whats happening to HaS?

4377789

All to well, i'm a member of both group's. Still loyal to Alexer though.

4377795 I'm with HaM

4377839

I myself have never had much trouble with Alexer, I dont mind him he dont mind me.

4377852
4377852 Yeah well HaM has Voting!

4377874

Sick breh.

4375778 On who?

4378663 HaS

4378669 Alright, I'm in!

4368147 On April 15, the site is brought down temporarily by a DDOS attack. The attack later spreads to other Brony websites, which update their security measures as a result.

4368147 this week displaced attempts to create order. So far no one has yet to leave.... Wait I was wrong.

bump

4368147 In August, two big events happened in the groups 'Foalcon' and 'Sunset Shimmer'.

In Foalcon, there was an author who had her story unknowingly added to the group and she wanted it removed because 'eww, foalcon', and Flutterpony didn't take too kindly to that. Flutter felt that the story should stay because it is a valid story to add, and hated that the author was labeling the whole group as pedos in a way. It became a heated argument involving many members. Eventually, the founder of the group had to step in and stop it. He instituted new rules, including one that says if an author wants their story removed, it will be removed. As a result of all this, a separate 'Foalcon' group was created, for members who didn't want to be a part of the original anymore.

In Sunset Shimmer, Cryosite wanted to gain some semblance of control over the threads of the group, because for some odd reason, there was none. She wanted to lock a lot of repetitive and moronic threads, and then localize major discussions about Sunset to a few sticky threads. This had come after two threads made by a VERY immature member, and something had to be done. Cryosite's idea didn't have the warmest reception however, and some members felt that she was being a dictator of sorts by not discussing the decision with the members first hand. It became a slightly heated argument, but it ended before it got out of hand. Another mod of the group, Albinocorn, stepped in and instituted Cryosite's idea with some changes. Only some of the threads would be locked, and there would be a directory for members to look to if they wanted to find different discussions about Sunset. Any repetitive or quite frankly, dumb threads, would be locked if they are made.

wonderful

4675135 So I'm trying to add what happened over in 'Sunset Shimmer' to the front page, but I don't know how to add a bullet point to the post, how do I do that?
