This is totally what Belchic has been saying BS!
I write something on Skype just to talk to a person it doesn't really matter who it is, and all of a sudden you get this small spinning circle and when you go up to it, it reads. "Your message hasn't been delivered yet." It's annoying I don't know why we have it, I've gotten this when I was role playing with my sister and Lupus on an RP, I mean what's the purpose of the small spinning circle except for ticking you off from time to time.
What if I had something important to say and it done that? Like one of my family members have passed away and I wanted to tell my Aunt, Uncle or even my brother and sister? Thanks Skype, I really appreciate the small spinning circle everytime I send a message.

I thought that happens if you have a weak connection or something? You tried looking up support or help for the problem?

That could be it, but it wouldn't make sense for it to be a weak connection since a guy came and fixed it a few days ago, I just typed in Night Guys last night, and woke up this morning just to find out it just read. "This message hasn't been delivered yet." I got ticked off cause of that, cause it's happened to me before.

I'd like to make a response to those who argued about my rant on the person in my MLP group who asked who was 14 and said there was no harm in that. Someone else recently asked who on the group was a girl between the ages of 9 and 17! Just about everyone else in the group found that to sound stalkerish, including me! It's one thing to ask someone's age, but asking who is a specific age is just wrong! If that doesn't scream CREEPY, than I don't know what creepy is!

I think I can understand both sides.
On one side, it is pretty dark, asking for children at an age where they can't consent. One another side, maybe the person was checking how many fans are actually the original target demographic.
That possible?

You gotta be careful about what you say on the Internet, bab. I learned that the hard way.

I have to make this rant, because this is something that is really getting on my nerves!
The fans of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic have gone way too far. Ever since 2014 started, people have been spreading out all these rumors about what's going to happen in future episodes. They're constantly showing fan art, which looks so good that they could possibly be screenshots from the series. Some even have banners making it look like the Hub Network confirmed this. The question is are they real? Well, the people posting these pictures are saying that they're real, but should I trust them? I'm seeing stuff like: Flash Sentry is going to appear in pony form and marry Twilight Sparkle, or there's going to be an episode where Twilight loses her entire coat and gets exposed naked in front of Spike and Rarity, or there's going to be an episode where the main six are going to have a race against each other while getting piggyback rides from their respective love interests! I'm hoping these are all just fan works providing false information, but the people showing them are shoving them into my face all the time saying they're real! Should I trust these people, or should I trust Equestria Daily?
It's not just these screenshots that are confusing me, but I hear rumors from other sources while others contradict them. Like for example, I recall hearing somebody say that Hasbro had no further plans to have Babs Seed make another appearance in the series after the "Apple Family Reunion" episode, but other people are telling me that Hasbro never said anything of the sort. Another thing I remember hearing in late 2012, Hasbro announced that they were forbidden to use Derpy Hooves in the series ever again, but since then, she's appeared in several episodes! Talk about hypocrisy!
When the Equestria Girls movie first came out, there were already plans for two sequels, but there were also rumors going around saying that a TV series was getting made replacing FIM. Well, the rumors of the series happening were confirmed true, but the rumors of it replacing FIM are not, which is good because why would they do that to the network's highest-rated show? Though I find it kind of weird that a different animation company is working on the series despite the fact that the movies were done by DHX Media, the same studio responsible for FIM.
MLP is not the only Hub series with rumors that are driving me nuts. Pound Puppies has some rumors as well. As far as I know, the series is canceled, since it reached 65 episodes and had an exceptional finale, but I'm also hearing rumors that it's only on hiatus, and a fourth season is on the way. I really want to believe this, but I can't without proof!
Please, I'm begging all the MLP fans out there: if you're going to show these fan arts that look so much like screenshots from the series, please don't claim them to be real, unless you can provide legitimate proof that they are! By that I mean official Hasbro sites that are not fan sites, newsletter sites like Equestria Daily, or stuff by the creators of the show. Not Wikipedia, not TV Tropes, not deviantArt, and not your ad homonym opinion! Also, when I ask for proof, yelling at me and forcing me to take your word for it is not going to convince me! It'll only make you look like a Manchild.
Now I'm not necessarily asking for answers here or for anyone to confirm any of these rumors; I just want to get this off my chest.

Well, considering the show is made on Flash and it's pretty easy to get hold of the items needed to make an animated short (See stuff like Double Rainboom or Button Mash), Chances are all those are fake. Especially since most the stuff you list about those Screenshots are that of stuff you'd read of in a Fan Fiction.
I mean...why would the Hub allow an episode where Twilight exposes herself Naked? That wouldn't get by the censors. Also, Flash has only had ONE line outside of Equestria Girls. And we've already had an entire Two-Parter about a wedding. Another would be redundant! Anyone can make Fake Screens, if they have the right material.
I mean, they just recently showed the first episode of Season Five is still in the Storyboard Stage!
"Just take my word for it!" is not a convincing argument. If what they say is true, then surely there is no problem with showing the proof, is there?
You got any examples of these Screenshots?

Absolutely do not trust any of those people. Wait for official information on EQD or the Hub's facebook page.

Unfortunately, I can't provide any examples. I saw those images on Facebook and cannot copy them from there. I tried a Google search for the images, and I found the Flash/Twilight wedding pic, but then I read the fine print: It was from Fimfiction.net. I guess I can safely say that one is not real. I could also assume the piggyback race one isn't real either because the Fluttershy/BigMacintosh and Pinkie/Cheese shippings are non cannon.

What the frig is up with DA’s new Tag system!?
Apparently, DA thinks that it be a good idea to replace their easy to use Keywords System with a complicate Hash Tag System! As a result, it means that the Search has practically become more difficult to use!
With Keywords, I can enter a search and it shows me the results, basing on Keywords. With Hash Tags, the only way that Search actually acknowledges that those results exist, is if what I am looking for is mentioned in the Title or Description.
Case in point. Nemo has some; “101 Dalmatians” Art on DA. A Month or so before, if I type search and she has it as a Keyword (which I see her do on some art), it shows up. With Hash Tags, she has an image of Nemo & Mooch. But when I look for that, it doesn’t even show that in the Search!
Or there's this DA Artist, who is known to try; "101 Dalmatians" Art, and I know the Keywords work for her. But when the Hashtag comes in, she uploads two images of Pongo & Perdita, and yet it doesn't show up in the Search!
They claim to introduce these Hash Tags to make searching for Art easier, when really, it’s only made it more complicated!
It is obvious they are trying to be in the In-Crowd, but it seems like they aren’t even testing if it works.
Can we, at least, have an option to use Keywords? Who is honestly complaining about how the Keywords are before!?

Are you serious, bab? Did they really change that? Man, and I thought these glitches were bad enough.

Perhaps, DA is getting a big awkward, because they are trying to add the Tags on that?
It is annoying though, there is nothing wrong with the Key Words System and the Hash Tags only make Search more complicated! Like said, the only way that Search shows what I am looking for is if it's mentioned in the Title or Description!
A Case in point, Mizan has uploaded some images of the Dalmatians too, and yet they don't seem to show up in Search!
I do wonder, do they actually check on DA, if the Search System actually works, before forcing everyone to use it?

The hashtag feature has now effected the mobile version of the site! I can see what bab was saying now. It's like the search engine is completely gone!
