More opinions = less consensus. Here's mine:
1. The star system as it exists today isn't particularly useful, IMHO.
2. If there is to be a useful rating system at all, it needs more granularity than just YAY or silence. I wouldn't bother checking film reviews from anyone who refused to use any number other than 10 or 0. Not every film above 5 is equally good, not every film below 5 is equally bad. Having more granularity can potentially be helpful. It *could* be valuable to know whether the person answering your question has previously been rated at 1.5 stars vs. 4.5 stars. It *could* be valuable to know which threads contain highly-rated responses.
3. I don't see how you can hope to keep a rating system pristine if it's left open to misuse / abuse by those with no stake in maintaining its integrity. I haven't really thought about this much, but maybe we should have to "earn" the privilege to give numerical ratings. Maybe it's "earned" by being either (1) the poster of the original topic, (2) someone who has made at least 25 posts that have been given "passing grade" rating, (3) a blue-bar NI insider. Until you earn the right to give numerical ratings, you're limited to either YAY or silence.
I doubt this type of rule can be implemented by the forum software though.

"..."earn" the privilege to give numerical ratings."
Good point Kevin!

We have talked about the short comings of the star system many times.
Although there are many ways it can be fixed, they all have been to complicated for NI to fix.
Just tossing those four buttons from template used to create each reply appears to be a quick way to eliminate the rotten vegetables.

Hi Ben,
I am sure that there are many other forum users that agree with you on this issue.
I don't currently know all the ramifications of changing the rating system, but I am sure that there would be some problems to overcome. I will make note of this suggestion and keep it in mind for the next time that we evaluate how to improve the Discussion Forums.
Is there a particular incident of abuse of the rating system that I should be aware of? I don't have much control, but I can investigate the issue and watch for users that abuse the system.

Seems like there is a single star bandit who gives 1-star rating for no obvious reason. (Maybe they don't like the avatar? or abuse of smileys)
In some views (including the bandit), there are many 5-star bandits.. Which is worse?? (I'll even raise my hand at being a 5-star bandit)
There was a valued member who gave up when receiving a 1-star rating too many (in the older board). Well, actually, there were other valuable contributors who went to infolabview or lava and seem to stay away from this forum. From what I read, it appears the star rating influenced their decisions.
If changing the rating system is difficult, then maybe something simpler like turning OFF the rating system for contributors who have submitted >1000 answers (> 500 different threads?). Surely, someone who answers 1000 questions must have some reasonable knowledge of Labview. Maybe the answers are not the best approach or most elegant.. However, the questio should be "Did it solve the problem?" If yes, then that's good. If the solution provided can be done better, then post that in the "Rube Goldberg" thread.
It does appear that people are troubled with the current system because this topic does come up very often. How about changing the star system to a simple "Thank You". You can keep track of how many times someone has been thanked..

Now, many 5 stars are given / received for reasons completely different than anything technical.. Most ratings are probably found in the Breakpoint forum. Why?
Maybe because the joke was funny.. or the topic was "right on target"... or appreciation (look at the Congratulations Threads!!!)... or to buddies... or even to help out those who got unnecessarily low ratings.. or whatever reason...
If people understood that the rating system has become a bunch of stars (0 to 5) and not something tied to technical content, then there is no star rating problem...
Or should the rating system be "re-defined" or more clearly "defined"...

Schakowsky, Schneider Laud State of the Union
Freshman Brad Schneider and Veteran Jan Schakowsky come away with different impressions of the same message. Sen. Mark Kirk joins the chorus on gun control.
Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Deerfield) and Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Evanston) saw President Barack Obama's State of the Union through different eyes but came away with the same message Tuesday.
Both north suburban lawmakers praised and ratified the President's proposals to raise the minimum wage, stimulate job growth, implement gun control and more. They heard the same message but saw it differently.
Earlier: Schneider, Schakowsky Give Back to Honor King
Schakowsky, a seven-term veteran, was excited by the challenge the President laid at the feet of Congress while Schneider was awed by the full experience of his first State of the Union address on the floor of the House of Representatives.
"It was a pretty incredible experience," Schneider said. "I thought his opening quote of (President) John Kennedy that 'it is the task of us all to move forward' set the tone."
Citing the issue of climate change, Schakowsky liked the way the President challenged Congress to act letting the members know something would be done one way or the other.
"But if Congress won't act soon to protect future generations, I will," the President said. "I will direct my cabinet to come up with executive actions we can take, now and in the future, to reduce pollution, prepare our communities for the consequence of climate change and speed the transition to more sustainable sources of energy."
Schakowsky heard the message loud and clear. "He was challenging Congress," she said.
Change Seen in Attitude on Gun Control
Another strong theme of the evening was gun control, particularly background checks, limiting the use of both assault weapons and high capacity ammunition magazines. The President made it personal when he talked about the shooting of Hadiya Pendelton, whose parents were the guests of Schneider and sat in the gallery with the President's wife, First Lady Michelle Obama.
"She was shot and killed in a Chicago park after school, just a mile away from my house," the President said. "In the two months since Newtown more than a thousand birthdays, graduations and anniversaries have been stolen from our lives by a bullet from a gun," he added referring to the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Schakowsky was moved by the moment. "I looked up in the gallery and saw tears in her eyes," Schakowsky said of Cleo Pendelton, Hadiya' mother, when the President mentioned her daughter's name.
On this issue as well the President issued a challenge as he invoked not only Hadiya Pendelton but the loved ones of shooting victims in Newtown, Oak Creek, WI, Aurora, CO, Tucson and Blacksburg, VA. "They deserve a vote," he said.
Kirk, Schneider and Schakowsky All See Change Coming
Schneider and Schakowsky both see that vote coming and are ready to do something about it. "I'm going to reach out and find people to stand with me," Schneider said. "It has become time to face this issue."
While it has been difficult to even bring gun control meaures to the floor of the Senate and House for a vote, Schakowsky thinks that will change.
"I've been involved in this issue for 20 some years. It really is different now," Schakowsky said. "There are new players now," she added referring to the willingness of New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg to pump money into campaigns and former Rep. Gabby Giffords (D-AZ) new organization to fight gun violence. "There are senators working on legislation now."
One of those members of the upper chamber who has authored legislation is Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Highland Park), who has sponsored legislation to make trafficking of guns a federal crime.
"We should work as a nation to reduce gun violence and save lives," Kirk said in a statement. "I believe we can pass a universal background check bill this year to keep guns away from criminals and the mentally ill, while protecting law-abiding citizens."
The President also proposed raising the minimum wage to $9 per hour and assuring people have the education to acquire the skills to have higher paying jobs. Schneider was happy to hear that since the first legislation he introduced was a bill to foster better and consistent job training.
"He wants to make sure we help the economy by creating jobs people have the qualifications for with an emphasis on manufacturing," Schneider said. "That's why my first bill was the America Works Act."

Perhaps you are unaware of the success Germany has had. The job market ain't great, but it has gotten better whether you believe it or not. The stimulus DID create jobs. I know, it's so much easier to take right wing pundits word for it rather than look into it yourself. You seem to have plenty time on your hands. Maybe you could look into the facts.
9:53 am on Wednesday, February 13, 2013
No pundits, just over 8.5 million jobs eliminated from the universe since Obama took over. That means there was no gain from the stimulus, just 8.5 million less jobs. Fact, check it out, 8.5 million less jobs. I know it's hard to find, CBS, ABC, NBC won't report it, but The Bureau of Labor Statistics releases these numbers... That's 8.5 million less people paying taxes.
11:20 am on Wednesday, February 13, 2013
First of all, that would be"fewer jobs", not "less jobs".
Facts can be such a bitch. You should be happy that so many of those lost jobs came in the public sector.

It was an excellent State of the Union. The President stated what needs to be done and a clear vision for the future. Of course, the Republicans would rather dodge clear messages from the citizens, such as a 92% desire for universal background checks. I guess what really matters to them is what their lobbyist tells them at power lunches. Rubio looked like a scared rabbit and not ready to be President. If he is the future of the Republican Party, I say....that's all you've got? Hillary 16!

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama did some cherry-picking Tuesday night in defense of his record on jobs and laid out a conditional path to citizenship for illegal immigrants that may be less onerous than he made it sound.
A look at some of the claims in his State of the Union speech, a glance at the Republican counterargument and how they fit with the facts:
OBAMA: "After years of grueling recession, our businesses have created over 6 million new jobs."
THE FACTS: That's in the ballpark, as far as it goes. But Obama starts his count not when he took office, but from the point in his first term when job losses were the highest. In doing so, he ignores the 5 million or so jobs that were lost on his watch, up to that point.
Private sector jobs have grown by 6.1 million since February 2010. But since he became president, the gain is a more modest 1.9 million.
And when losses in public sector employment are added to the mix, his overall jobs record is close to a wash. And when losses in public sector employment are added to the mix, his overall jobs record is a gain of 1.2 million.
Daniel Krudop
11:17 am on Wednesday, February 13, 2013
WASHINGTON (AP) — OBAMA: "We have doubled the distance our cars will go on a gallon of gas."
THE FACTS: Not so fast.
That's expected to happen in 12 more years.
Under a deal the Obama administration reached with automakers in 2011, vehicles will have a corporate average fuel economy of 54.5 miles per gallon by 2025, twice the 27 miles per gallon, on average, that cars and trucks get today. Automobile manufacturers won't start making changes to achieve the new fuel economy standards until model year 2017. Not all cars will double their gas mileage, since the standard is based on an average of a manufacturers' fleet.

11:19 am on Wednesday, February 13, 2013
WASHINGTON (AP) — OBAMA: "Real reform means establishing a responsible pathway to earned citizenship – a path that includes passing a background check, paying taxes and a meaningful penalty, learning English and going to the back of the line behind the folks trying to come here legally."
THE FACTS: The seemingly stern admonition that illegal immigrants must go to the back of the line, often heard from the president, doesn't appear to have much practical effect except in the most obvious sense. Everyone who joins a line, whether for a movie, a coffee or citizenship, starts at the back of that particular line. It's not clear he is saying anything more than that illegal immigrants won't get to cut in line for citizenship once they've obtained provisional legal status.
Like those living abroad who have applied to come to the U.S. legally, illegal immigrants who qualify for Obama's proposed path to citizenship will surely face long waits to be processed. But during that time, they are already in the U.S. and will get to stay, work and travel in the country under their new status as provisional immigrants, while those outside the U.S. simply have to wait.
Daniel Krudop
11:20 am on Wednesday, February 13, 2013
Additionally, Sending illegal immigrants to the "back of the line" is something of a distinction without a difference for some legal immigrants who dutifully followed all the rules before coming to the United States.
For instance, some legal immigrants who are in the U.S. on an employer-sponsored visa can't easily change jobs, or in some cases take a promotion, without jeopardizing their place in line to get a green card. In other cases, would-be legal immigrants in other countries wait for years to be able to settle in the U.S.
Obama is using "back of the line" somewhat figuratively, because there are multiple lines depending on the applicant's relationship with family already in the U.S. or with an employer. Generally, a foreign-born spouse of a U.S. citizen or someone with needed skills and a job offer will be accepted more quickly than many others.
But even as a figurative point, his assertion may cloak the fact that people who came to the U.S. illegally and win provisional status have the great advantage over applicants abroad of already being where they all want to go.
Daniel Krudop
11:21 am on Wednesday, February 13, 2013
WASHINGTON (AP) — OBAMA: "I urge this Congress to pursue a bipartisan, market-based solution to climate change, like the one John McCain and Joe Lieberman worked on together a few years ago. But if Congress won't act soon to protect future generations, I will. I will direct my Cabinet to come up with executive actions we can take, now and in the future, to reduce pollution, prepare our communities for the consequences of climate change and speed the transition to more sustainable sources of energy."
THE FACTS: Obama failed to get a global warming bill through Congress when both Houses were controlled by Democrats in 2010. With Republicans in control of the House, the chances of a bill to limit the gases blamed for global warming and to create a market for businesses to trade pollution credits are close to zero. The Obama administration has already acted to control greenhouse gases through existing law. It has boosted fuel-efficiency standards and proposed rules to control heat-trapping emissions from new power plants. And while there are still other ways to address climate change without Congress, it's questionable regulation alone can achieve the reductions needed to start curbing global warming.

McCloud, here's another thing that was omitted from the definition of 'Liberal': defending blatant criminals. Re: Jan Schakowsky (from Wikipedia):
Husband's bank fraud and tax evasion convictions
On March 11, 2004, Schakowsky's husband, lobbyist Robert Creamer, the executive director of the Illinois Public Action Fund, was indicted in federal court on 16 counts of bank fraud involving three alleged check-kiting schemes in the mid-1990s, leading several banks to experience shortfalls of at least $2.3 million. In August 2005, Creamer pleaded guilty to one count of failure to collect withholding tax, and bank fraud for writing checks with insufficient funds. All of the money was repaid. Schakowsky was not accused of any wrongdoing. Schakowsky served on the organization's board during the time the crimes occurred, and Schakowsky signed the IRS filings along with her husband. U.S. District Judge James B. Moran noted no one suffered "out of pocket losses," and Creamer acted not out of greed but in an effort to keep his community action group going without cutting programs, though Creamer paid his own $100,000 salary with fraudulently obtained funds. On April 5, 2006, Creamer was sentenced to five months in prison and 11 months of house arrest. Creamer served his five-month incarceration at the Federal Correction Institute in Terre Haute, Indiana and was released on November 3, 2006.

Yeah- republicans never break the law.
McCloud, no response to the links. Scared to read them in case you'd find out the truth.
You do realize that you are all that's wrong with the Republican Party, right? The so-called tea party? You two make Lennie Jarratt look like a scholar. I'll just have to keep reminding myself that the two of you are part of fringe that believes anything they hear about the Democratic Party except the truth. Don't get me wrong- there's plenty to dislike about them, but they are not pawns of the devil, or communists, or socialists, or America haters, or "takers", or any of the other absurdities posited by your favorite pundits. Too bad you're too dense to figure that out.
2:22 pm on Wednesday, February 13, 2013
No need to look at the links, my number is from the Dept of Labor, not some MSNBC nut. 8.5 million less jobs. Want more, google GDP to find out what it is first, then take a look at the fourth quarter of last year where they reduced it down to 1%. Looks like that 8.5 million may double before you know it.
2:44 pm on Wednesday, February 13, 2013
Here is what is wrong with both parties. The Republican in today's world is actually what a Democrat was 35 years ago, and the Democrat in today's world is a Marxist. Substitute Pravda (Google Pravda circa 1970s if necessary) for any of the news oulets.
3:07 pm on Wednesday, February 13, 2013
Yes McCloud, each one of these links also came from the Dept. of Labor. You very conveniently left out a bit of the information. Sorry, but you really should get ALL of the information before making such broad statements. And most to the links provide a chart so you should be able to understand.
3:09 pm on Wednesday, February 13, 2013

Hey. again I didn't watch the speech, but did he mention the ambassador's family and how our prayers should go out to them for their loss, a man who dedicated his life to serve this country? Maybe he should not have been playing basketball during the 9/11 seige.
10:55 pm on Wednesday, February 13, 2013
LOL. And perhaps Bush should not have been playing golf his entire presidency. LOL

Obama cares about them about as much as he does for the country.....so of course not. At least he had his be otch Hillary to take the fall. Democrat: the party for women LMAO!
6:14 pm on Wednesday, February 13, 2013
Sully, based on the Obama comment and other clues, I think she is the Vicky Kujawa who states she lives in Palm Springs, Ca. with ties to the Chicago area.
7:22 pm on Wednesday, February 13, 2013
Hmm. Maybe she's not on Facebook. If she is young and believes all the BS she spouts out, I'd have to think she's a member of the Westboro Baptist Church. A brainwashing victim no doubt.
8:36 pm on Wednesday, February 13, 2013
The ' Palm Springs ' Vicky states on Facebook that some of her inspirations are Antonin Scalia and Wm. F. Buckley, Jr. She also belongs to several conservative groups and made a nasty comment regarding Obama. Yes...I am pretty sure she is the one. The S. Elgin one seems a bit too young and hip to be the Vicky to which you refer.
9:18 pm on Wednesday, February 13, 2013
Interesting. I wonder if she knows what Scalia said about gun control in the DC vs Heller case, and reiterated after the Aurora movie theater shooting. I'm still leaning toward brainwashing. After all, that's what's happened to a good many of these tea party folk, so it's more than possible.

Manufacturing jobs rose to 11,950,000 by January 2013!!!! Obama said in the speech last night that 500,000 manufacturing jobs have been added since he became president!!!!!! Things are looking up!!!!!!!!!! However, when he became president in January 2009 there were 12,556,000 manufacturing jobs? That's a net loss of 606,000 jobs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nice going Prez! Your economy plans are doing just what everyone with a brain thought they would, NOTHING! So what say you Liberal sheep? Rate the Prez's performance for now it is HIS ECONOMY! Of course considering this is the first real job he has ever had you can't expect too much! Please defend this dismal performance and spin the facts. Source:these are from the Bureau of Labor Statistics!

RB is a progressive. I appreciate the branding, but an RB tattoo right over your Sarah Palin portrait would be more appreciated.

The sad fact is, if you're a rich limousine Liberal or a corrupt Democrat things are great; for the rest of the populace not so much. J.Lyn, if you're so concerned about where I live, why not stop by for a cup of tea sometime? Look me up. :)
7:37 am on Thursday, February 14, 2013
Vicky, Thank you for the invite. Personally I am not concerned about your where-abouts or beliefs. Sully was using his imagination about you so I was simply pointing him towards your Facebook page. There he might compare his image of you to how you represent yourself to friends and family. Nothing more than that. But, thank you again for the invite, unfortunately I drink neither tea or Kool-Aid. :)
8:52 am on Thursday, February 14, 2013
Vicky, I would like to challenge you to find accurate information about the state of the economy. You have been grossly mislead. My first challenge is for you to find out which party the highest paid CEOs belong to and the wealthiest Americans. You can begin with the Kochs. Not what Fox says about them, but instead, look a little deeper. Maybe into their oil holdings, to their illegal dealings with Iran, to their financing of your tea party, to their intensional misinformation regarding climate change. There's a plethora of information out there about the Koch brothers. Learn something.
9:43 am on Thursday, February 14, 2013
I like wealthy people, they spend money that helps the economy. In fact, they comprise almost 40% of the total consumption in this country, and that means other people get hired and paid to produce goods or services, without being on the Santa Claus list. People who lack education about economics would rather tear them down, like the Bolsheviks did in the early 1900s'. They are led like sheep by political figures only interested in power, so they divide by using jealousy. I suggest you learn a bit before posting again.
The Lone Thinker
10:50 am on Tuesday, February 19, 2013
Is this the list you're looking for Sully?
How many Kochs does it take to make a Buffett? Two!!!
12:29 pm on Thursday, February 14, 2013
No Mac, they don't. They invest their money in the stock market or hide it overseas. The middle class and lower are the ones who spend on a consistent basis- for groceries, transportation, rent, etc. I can promise you that the wealthy are not spending on a daily basis in the same way. Most of my wealthy friends would agree. They all invest and the money they do spend is absolutely for themselves. They're not out there hiring people if they don't have to, and they certainly pay the ones who do work for them the absolute minimum. I suggest Mac, that you do some research too.
12:33 pm on Thursday, February 14, 2013
Oh and Mac, I'm not in the one percent (members of my family are), but I would qualify for the two percent. I'm glad you like me.
1:16 pm on Thursday, February 14, 2013
It must be hard for you every day to make reality fit your strange narrative. With horrific GDP, unemployment, debt, and every economic indicator at dangerously low values. The fact that wealthy people spend more money and buy more expensive things easily fits the assumption of nearly 40% of all consumption is made up of wealth people. Sure, total consumption is down, thanks in large part to the white house, but the percentages do not change, I know nonlinear thinking is hard for you, but think of it as a smaller pie with a piece that makes up 40% of the entire pie. By the way, money goes over seas to escape the war on wealth creation and could be better used here. But hey, you'd rather everyone is miserable like Havanna.
1:58 pm on Thursday, February 14, 2013
Good old McCloud. So certain in his ignorance. You never said why you're so angry. It must be the anger that blinds you so easily. Poor Mac. Perhaps you never made it through Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Something within you has arrested your cognitive development. Then again, it could just be you're not all that smart. I've got to stop wasting my time with you!
2:02 pm on Thursday, February 14, 2013
I must have won, however largely surprised that the war card was not thrown. Then you know a nerve has been struck.
2:06 pm on Thursday, February 14, 2013
Nope. I'm simply tired of trying to explain something to someone who has no clue. You're the proverbial brick wall and my head is starting to hurt from hitting it so many times.
Vicky Kujawa
7:21 pm on Thursday, February 14, 2013
I can tell you for a fact that spending is down, because donations of both goods and cash are WAY down. What is being donated is not of the quality that it used to be. The middle class is suckin' it in big-time, and the 1%? They LEFT THE COUNTRY. Can't say that I blame them; no incentive to hang around!
9:27 am on Thursday, February 14, 2013
All the name calling and nastiness aside, look at Illinois, Chicago, Cook County and Evanston. All broke, all Democratic and some corrupt. Obama comes from a fine tradition. His hero, Saul Alinsky was trained by Frank Nitti, Capone's number 2. there were many who thought Capone was a hero. I guess we in Illinois have to keep up our traditions.
Vicky Kujawa

The Lone Thinker
10:50 am on Tuesday, February 19, 2013
Perhaps this is the list you're looking for, Sully:
The good news is when you see the figures for the net worth of these billionaires it becomes clear that it takes two Kochs to make a Buffett. The bad news is if the government confiscated the entire net worth of all the individuals on this list the money would be spent in about 40 days. But we don't have a spending problem, right?
1:56 pm on Thursday, February 14, 2013
It is my understanding that In some emergency rooms in Illinois and elsewhere, parents are now being asked to leave the examing room in which they have accompanied a minor child and then the minor patient is asked if there are guns in their home. Does this not remind one of Nazi Germany where children were encouraged to spy on their parents. 1984 indeed.
2:15 pm on Thursday, February 14, 2013
Imagine- doctors wanting to know if there are health risks in the home. Another comparison to Nazis. Sure thing, Jim. By the way, doctors are not allowed to force parents to leave the room when their child is a minor.
Vicky Kujawa
7:16 pm on Thursday, February 14, 2013
There is no way I would leave my child alone in the room by force.
8:06 pm on Thursday, February 14, 2013
I forgot to ask, proof that this is going on? You said it's your understanding. So is it accurate or just another lie spread around by the right in order to scare parents?
Vicky Kujawa
9:13 pm on Thursday, February 14, 2013
Jim, I took one of my kids to the pediatrician today. I asked him and he said the doctor did not inquire about guns in our home (at least our pediatrician did not do this).
9:47 pm on Thursday, February 14, 2013
Not in physician offices but in some hospital settings. See link below.
2:12 pm on Thursday, February 14, 2013
A little history: as most of you know, the Romans became corrupt as all socieities eventually do. The Germanic tribes were a jealous lot and were not happy just destroying Rome. They killed and burned until there was nothing left, no knowledge, no skills, no tradition and NO MONEY. From 400 to 1200 there wasn't much in Europe except a miserable, short and brutish life. Point being, just because you take from the haves doe not mean success and prosperity for the have-nots. Quite the opposite. My welfare depends on me not on how many wealthy people there are or are not and I know that governmental promises are a ruse and that taking from some to give to others will eventually lead to collapse. Caring for the weakest and poorest among us is our responsibility and we or our government should do that, but we are way beyond that now.
3:15 pm on Thursday, February 14, 2013
I did not say forced. I said asked. but twisting words and twisted thoughts are a liberal's tools. as for health risks in the home, maybe patients should be asked about stairs or bleach or glass or power tools or plastic bags or ovens or dogs or .......or the danger of the day from which the state socialists will protect us from ourselves. If the government wants that information let them place someone there to ask the question. A physician's duty is not healthcare. It is medical care, to diagnose the problem presented and fix it if he can. The government barely pays for that much less spying for the state.

Sully...Kudos to you and RB for fighting the good fight against these rabid Sea-Monkeys...the likes of McClown and Sicky...and not to forget Jimbo and
D.Krud. I know it gets tiring attempting to clue in the eternally clueless. I say...let the losers wallow in their own arrogant ignorance. Actually...if you can stand back far enough...it is rather interesting and fun watching the CONservatives circle the drain. Some of the brighter ones know it...but most .... like this tank of rabid Sea-Monkeys haven't a clue and they are the funniest to watch. They will defend their ignorance to the bloody end. So...my advise...kick back and let them chew themselves to shreds...for what will ultimately be a no win situation. Again....kudos on your gallant attempt.

Sicky...Whatever did I say that gave you the idea I am back in Illinois? My iPad works in all 50 states best as I know...and...oh yeah...not to mention the world at large. I even VIDEO Skyped my friend in London today! Can you imagine that? You stone age creatures have no idea what the technological future holds, combine that with your typical CONservative knee jerk assessments, which, 9 times out of 10 are totally wrong...as in this case...and you come up with yet another insipid comment.
Do me favor...go away...far far away.

Hey Vick, something just for you! You'll probably like it to McCloud.

7:26 pm on Thursday, February 14, 2013
I would have to agree; he has done a bang-up job assassinating the economy.
7:45 pm on Thursday, February 14, 2013
Vicki, maybe I missed it....but I don't think you ever told us how long 14 year old rape victims should spend in prison after being convicted of murder after having an abortion. If I recall you said something about the same time as anyone throwing their baby in the dumpster. Just how long? What about the accessories to the 'murder' like her Mom for driving her to the Clinic, the nurse, the Doctor? Maybe even the escorts who protect them from fanatics like you and Westboro Baptist Church. How long Vicki?
8:04 pm on Thursday, February 14, 2013
Well obviously the doctor gets the death penalty. It's okay to kill 'em after they're born. The driver of the car? I don't know. How long do accessories to murder typically stay in jail. The girl who had the abortion? Life in prison without parole so she can agonize over what happened for a good long time. As an extra, if the rapist is in the area, he should be the only one allowed visitation rights.
Vicky Kujawa
9:09 pm on Thursday, February 14, 2013
I dunno, RC; who not ask Blagojevich, Schakowsky, Jesse, Jr., or one of your other Lib Gods/Goddesses? My vote doesn't count anyway.
9:37 pm on Thursday, February 14, 2013
You never get around to answering. As you build your Tower Of London consider the ramifications of always asking that Abortion( even in the case of a 14 year old rape victim) be 'murder'.
1:06 am on Friday, February 15, 2013
So Sully needs "proof" unless he/she is personally aware unless of course a leftist says something which is always true. Ah, the glories of an open mind.
5:44 am on Friday, February 15, 2013
Well Jim, in the real world one usually relies on proof when an assertion is made. Such as the sky really isn't blue. It looks blue to our eyes because of the way light is refracted. Gravity is the force which keeps us all from floating into space. The earth revolves around the sun and that is why we have seasons. The moon revolves around the earth. We know these things because they have been proven, not because someone told us so and we blindly believe. That may be how you work, but most people require some kind of proof in order to believe something.
6:37 am on Friday, February 15, 2013
Did you look at the link mentioned above or were you hoping that I was inventing the events so that you could look in the Narcissus pool one Moore time.
7:02 am on Friday, February 15, 2013
If you are convinced that abortion is not the taking of human life, the debate with you ends there. Otherwise, everything else you have to say is justification for human slaughter. Faith in God is not scientific, so I guess that leaves you and your friends without. Your souls are in my prayers.
7:14 pm on Friday, February 15, 2013
Well Jimbo, to tell ya the truth, I didnt see that link til i just read your response. So sorry.
10:43 am on Friday, February 15, 2013
McCloud, don't waste your time praying for their souls. they probably do not believe in God because they have not seen him/her personally and probably do not believe that humans have souls because they haven't seen a soul either.
7:17 pm on Friday, February 15, 2013
Gosh Jim, isn't that what good Christians want to do though? Pray for one's soul so one can "see the light"? Not very Christian of you.
Vicky Kujawa
1:38 am on Saturday, February 16, 2013
Just Lyin' must be having a wonderful time in Cali hanging on the 'net thinking of new and exciting Lib insults to cyberhurl.
7:52 am on Saturday, February 16, 2013
Well Vick, he's (she's) just calling 'em as he sees 'em. You make it so easy--
narrow-minded bigots who think they are better set themselves up for ridicule. Your ignorance knows no bounds and your hypocritical "Christianity" makes a farce out of religion. Congratulations.
8:54 am on Saturday, February 16, 2013
If minimum wage needs to be increased for the poor, why not $35 per hour, that way folks that work at McDonalds can afford a home and make a living wage. Anyone who opposes this just doesn't have a heart.
Vicky Kujawa
12:12 pm on Saturday, February 16, 2013
McCloud may just be on to something; why stop at a paltry $9.00? Home health care workers should unionize and demand outstanding wages, raises and benefits also......or FLATLY REFUSE to care for the deluge of unhealthy Baby Boomers coming down the pipeline (that's the REAL reason for letting in the illegals....cheap labor to care for them!). Libs looooooove unions, right?
Vicky Kujawa
12:16 pm on Saturday, February 16, 2013
Bigot: One who is narrrowly or intolerantly devoted to his or her opinions and prejudices. Sounds like the very definition of Liberal 'Progressives'. Just callin' 'em like I see 'em!
7:08 pm on Saturday, February 16, 2013
Vicky, So having read many of your comments in this thread and others and in reference to the definition you kindly supplied I am now pretty sure you are a " liberal progressive".
7:38 pm on Saturday, February 16, 2013
Vicky, I have not heard that childish remark since I was in elementary school ! As a woman of mature years Vicky you sure sound rather immature !
12:32 pm on Sunday, February 17, 2013
Really? My 10 yo daughter is more mature then, as she would not even say that. You flatter yourself Vicky. Probably one of the few who do, so have at it!
Vicky Kujawa
12:41 pm on Sunday, February 17, 2013

Lovely character property part of an old farmhouse France
Nearby Neuvic town centre
Farmhouse in Dordogne, France
Property Details
Les Herissons is a converted barn, part of an old farm situated in a quiet little hamlet in the countryside not too far from the nearby town of Neuvic on the River Isle. A small private drive leads onto the property between the open aspect garden and the farm courtyard. The courtyard is almost fully enclosed with a good sized lawned area, outside seating and covered barbecue, plus the old well house.
Across the courtyard the buildings form an L shape with the owners accommodation on the right hand side and the gite tucked away to the other side with it's own private covered terrace. Here you can dine out and relax in a welcome area of shade. Between the main gite and the owner's house is the adjoining extra accommodation which links together the whole farmhouse ensemble.
Entering the main gite through the stable door off your private covered patio you come directly into the lounge /diner with fitted corner kitchen. Here there is an extendable dining table for six, all the usual kitchen equipment, with oven, microwave and hob, plus fridge. There is also a small television receiving UK freeview channels via satellite and a sofa and two armchairs.
Off the lounge / diner is a ground floor double (king size)bedroom with wc and bathroom. There is access from this bedroom directly to the courtyard outside and also through to the second lounge (if this is included in your accommodation choice). Stairs lead up from the lounge to the first floor open plan mezzanine which has a double bed and which leads through a low opening in the wall (reduced head height 1.40m) to the second twin bedroom and en suite bathroom with separate wc.
If you have the additional adjoining accommodation as part of your rental then you will also benefit from another double en suite bedroom and second lounge with it's own dining facilities and separate entrance door from the courtyard. In fact what could be a self contained unit and which gives an enormous choice for families.
Outside is the private covered terrace with dining table and seating, further seating across the courtyard and a covered barbecue area. The owners rest discreet at all times and although the courtyard is shared they have their own private terrace tucked away around the side of the farm and they leave the courtyard for the use of the guests.
The other side of the property has the garden which is open and includes a small 'splash pool', an above ground circular pool about 1 m in depth, great for the kids and anyone else who just wants to cool down, but not a swimming pool!
There is also a laundry room with washing machine available for use by the guests.
The small hamlet is quiet and safe with no passing through traffic. The owners are pleased to welcome you after your journey to the gite with a Table d'hote (evening meal) on arrival, taken with them as their guests. You should find everything you need at the gite for an enjoyable holiday and you are well placed to set off and explore the Dordogne region and all that it has to offer.
Local Area Details

As the subject line states, I'm looking for tips to good (I assume online) resources/repositories for meshes/models and basic animation sets. I assume they would be editable.
Thanks for any tips...
Free stock models and animation resources...?

Google 3d warehouse is probably the biggest. If you look at the upload disclaimer, they pretty much give away all rights when they upload. I could be wrong about that, though. Some of the models are high poly, and some don't export well. There's also Blend Swap, but you'll need Blender, a free modeler, to save in another format. There are reasonably priced models advertised in the personal announcement section of this forum, and some commercial repositories like TurboSquid. The company that often advertises here, Arteria3d, are all game models, so would need no changes.
Currently using Blender and Unity.

Arteria sells game-ready textured 3D models fairly cheaply. Archive3D has a lot of free models, many of which are textured. For characters, there's Arteria and also MakeHuman, a free tool for generating nude human meshes. There is a motion capture human animation database at CMU.

Check out Daz3D. They offer some free models (dragons, humans, animals), but you can't redistribute their works. It's great if you want to perform some tests or build sprites for a 2D game. Their models are fully rigged and textured. They often come with default poses and animations, so you may be able to get away without doing any real work. While I'm not fond of their Daz Studio, their pose and animation system is fairly easy to use.
FYI the animation database at CMU is also a great resource, but does require some cleanup work. Their BVH files are huge and should be downsized. They also don't cover animations for hands/fingers and feet very well. It can look a bit odd without some additional work.

Before starting ART therapy, each patient is evaluated to help maximize her chances for success. Patients should have a complete physical exam, including a breast exam and Pap smear, within one year. They should also start taking prenatal vitamins, which may reduce the risk of spine abnormalities (neural tube defects) in the baby. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends that women 40 years of age and older have an annual mammogram.
Prior to starting IVF, the woman's blood type should be verified, and she should be screened for antibodies that could affect the health of a fetus. Documentation of immunity to rubella (German measles) and varicella (chickenpox) may also require a blood test. Rubella during pregnancy can cause serious harm to the fetus. The patient and her partner should also be tested for hepatitis, HIV (AIDS), syphilis (RPR) and Cystic Fibrosis (a serious inherited disease affecting the respiratory system). Other genetic tests may be requested depending on the patient's genetic background and history.
Good preconception health is essential to achieving pregnancy with IVF. Chronic medical conditions such as diabetes, hypertension and asthma should be well controlled before attempting to conceive. In addition, women planning an IVF cycle should optimize their weight. Obesity has been associated with infertility, a reduced chance of success with IVF, and an increase in the risk of miscarriage and preterm birth. Your primary care provider can help you determine your ideal weight and refer you to appropriate resources for weight management, if needed.
A woman's reproductive potential declines with age. This is reflected in the decreased ability to conceive (become pregnant) and an increase in the rate of spontaneous abortions (miscarriages). Although fecundity (the ability to achieve a pregnancy which results in a live birth) decreases in all women as they age, the precise age when a woman can no longer conceive varies between individuals. Approximately one-third of couples in which the female partner is age 35 or older will have problems with fertility. It is estimated that two-thirds of women will not be able to get pregnant spontaneously by the age of 40. Several tests may be useful in assessing fertility potential in older patients and to assist in determining the proper method used to stimulate the patient to produce an optimal number of eggs. For those patients with poor fertility potential, the use of donor eggs or embryos can be considered.
A complex semen analysis should be performed within one year of ART. Changes in sperm quality may occur over time that could affect ART therapy. The complex semen analysis checks for sperm number, shape, swimming ability, survival, significant infection, and antisperm antibodies. In some cases, additional semen testing may be recommended.
The anatomy of the uterus is usually evaluated prior to ART. Three methods can be used: an x-ray procedure (hysterosalpingogram - "HSG"), an ultrasound procedure (sonohysterogram or SIS), or a hysteroscopy. An HSG is performed by injecting a special liquid through the cervix into the uterus. The liquid is visible on x-ray films and outlines the anatomy of the uterus and tubes. Usually no anesthesia is necessary. An SIS is performed by injecting fluid into the uterus during transvaginal sonography. This procedure is performed in the office without anesthesia. Hysteroscopy involves insertion of a small telescope and light source through the cervix into the uterus to look for abnormalities. This procedure is done in the office using local anesthesia or in the operating room.
Prior to IVF/ET, a uterine measurement called a trial transfer may be done. The purpose of this procedure is to determine the length and direction of the uterine cavity. This enables the physician to guide the embryo transfer catheter into the proper position with minimal trauma for the actual embryo transfer. This trial or "mock" transfer is similar to a pelvic exam or intrauterine insemination. The physician will place a speculum in the vagina and insert a thin, flexible plastic catheter through the cervix into the uterus. The procedure is usually painless, although some patients may experience a small amount of cramping when the catheter goes through the cervix and again when the tip of the catheter touches the top of the uterine cavity. This cramping, which is similar to a mild menstrual cramp, should resolve within 30-60 seconds.

Luna's Voice Actor Returns for Season Two, and Possible MLPxTransformers Animated Crossover?
First off, following various replies, it looks like the voice actor for Luna will be returning; even though she only has one line and a "gasp" in the second episode of season 1.
That one line did fit her really well though! I'm glad for this.
We can also conclude that Season 1's Voice Actor auditions started on June 1st. Apparently there were a bunch, based on Golden Russet's tweet: "Tired from a full day of casting ponies. So much to choose from!"
Hopefully this means we will see more new characters, and not replacements to current ones!
Also buried a bit deeper is some very...interesting news. It looks like Goldenrusset is trying to get Powdered Sugar into the cast of MLP, by way of cookie bribes.
Thanks to HunterTSF for the heads up!

I hope none of the Mane Six are overshadowed by any of the newer characters...

Heh, I think the Powdered Sugar thing was sort of tongue in cheek looking at that conversation.:p
- June 3, 2011 at 8:12 PM

You mean Season 2's? - June 3, 2011 at 8:13 PM

- June 3, 2011 at 8:17 PM
Sethisto, you might wanna look at this. It's the new Hub Summer Promo spot, with Pinkie's Singer and Megatron. - June 3, 2011 at 8:18 PM
- Andrew said...
A Transformers MLP crossover seems like it could be a really good cross promotion idea if it's handled well. Get fans from one interested in the other.
- June 3, 2011 at 8:19 PM
And you might want to check the front page news - June 3, 2011 at 8:19 PM
Wait, is Powdered Sugar that pony thing that girl rides on?

I have no idea what the hay you're talking about, but I love it!!!!
- June 3, 2011 at 8:22 PM
I took a look at his Twitter feed and I couldn't find anything about Luna's VA returning (besides wasn't Luna's voice done by Rarity's VA?). Could someone direct me to the conversation that mentions it?
- June 3, 2011 at 8:23 PM
Oh I hope there is no cross overs it will hurt the show D:
- June 3, 2011 at 8:23 PM
I GUESS this is good news...but I got WAY let down from the two seconds of unBRIDLED joy reading the post title to then reading the words "one line".
Seriously Hasbro? The WHOLE SERIES could not have canonically taken place without Luna's character. The only other two who are that INDESPESIBLE to the premise are Twilight and Celestia...I bet this is all just because alicorn ponies cost a FEW cents more to make with their wings AND a horn, you heartless capitalist bastards!

A Transformers MLP cross-over would be epic...
Megatron has tricked Luna and turned her back into Nightmare moon, he then proceeds to kill Optimus Prime again, so the Elements of Harmony have to stop him and Nightmare Moon again. Ofcourse, Nightmare Moon brings about eternal night, so they get the Matrix of Leadership and use it to Light there Darkest hour, and...
...On second thoughts... maybe not such a good idea... - June 3, 2011 at 8:32 PM
Seth MLP x Animated would be impossible seeing as ANIMATED IS OVER You might wanna change that headline before you give people heart attacks again
- June 3, 2011 at 8:33 PM
Reread that line again. Stethisto was recapping Luna's lines in the second episode of the pilot, he wasn't talking about any new lines she might have in the second season. - June 3, 2011 at 8:34 PM
New transformers movie => Apparently there have been big hulking transforming death bots on the moon for some time now.
So, all the Equestrians would need is to somehow get to the moon.
Nah. Not happening.
...right? - June 3, 2011 at 8:34 PM
Seth can you just give us a link to this twitter page? or am I a sillyfilly and missed it? - June 3, 2011 at 8:35 PM
Thanks, Seth! Can't believe I missed it in plain sight like that.:\ - June 3, 2011 at 8:35 PM
Transformers animated? No no no, that's all wrong. The only Transformers series that should be crossed over with FiM is Beast Wars. It would be glorious.
- June 3, 2011 at 8:35 PM
No. No, I did not. My previous happiness is rekindled!!! Thank you!
(except for the pure horror I feel lingering from that TF:A clip, and the implication that crossover might actually happen) - June 3, 2011 at 8:36 PM

- T.O. Brony said...
We must be patient, Bronies. We still have at least a short few months yet.
- June 3, 2011 at 8:40 PM
One Line? I want Luna to be in it as much as Celestia is! Come on Hasbro!
- June 3, 2011 at 8:41 PM
As far as we know all the voice actors are returning. Tara Strong and Peter New have at least stated they have been called back for voice overs. - June 3, 2011 at 8:42 PM
But Luna's VA is the same as Rarity's.
I don't understand. Replacement to voices? Crossovers IN the show (as in, not just commercials?). Of course nothing is confirmed but... I'm going to sleep, I can't think. I hope none of this happens. - June 3, 2011 at 8:43 PM
I hope they don't add to many new charaters! Having to many new ponies running around could ruin the relationship we have with current ponies we know.
- June 3, 2011 at 8:44 PM
- yayafenella said...
pony/transformer crossover? That sounds... huh, not sure what I think about that actually. BTW Hasbro, We can has theatrical release movie like Transformers nao?
PS yay Luna! - June 3, 2011 at 8:44 PM
OMG...that voice...Thats Lil from the Rugrats if i'm not mistaken!
- June 3, 2011 at 8:51 PM
Seeing that Luna only has one line and a gasp, I'm guessing that she will say something stupid and she will gasp when Celestia banishes her again.
- June 3, 2011 at 8:57 PM
I assume that crossover thing was a joke.
Please tell me that was a joke.
But Luna! Yay!
Also, I seriously doubt they're changing voice actors. Lauren's still got quite the influence over there and I can't see her letting that happen. - June 3, 2011 at 8:59 PM
To Clarify what someone said Earlier Seth is Referring to the FIRST SEASON not the second when he is talking about luna's lines
- June 3, 2011 at 8:59 PM
- Luna said...
If it's true, it's just confirmation that Tabitha St. Germain is pulling double-duty again.
And that Rarity is Second-Best-Pony by association. - June 3, 2011 at 8:59 PM
I think Seth is referring to the one line and gasp Luna had in season one episode two. - June 3, 2011 at 8:59 PM
- Star Gazer said...
I thought Luna had 2 lines and a gasp.
1. Gasp
2. "I'm so sorry"
3. "I've missed you so much Big Sister"
Eh, I guess 2 and 3 could be considered 1 line because she says the second big right after with just a tiny break inbetween.
BTW, I'm glad Luna's VA is returning... Hate it when they have to find someone else and you can hear the difference in the character's VA like someone scratching a chock board.
I too also hope for not just returning characters but new characters as well. ( This includes more then just making Season 1 Back ground characters like Ditzy/Derpy more official too ) - June 3, 2011 at 9:00 PM
Do hope they have a good explaination to her absence in the first season that makes sense.
Aw who am I kidding, if her return is just a cameo saying, "Hi" I'll be yelling, 'WOO! BEST EPISODE EVER!" - June 3, 2011 at 9:04 PM
- Wheatley 2.15 said...
" it looks like the voice actor for Luna will be returning; even though she only has one line and a "gasp" in the second episode of season 1. "
You people aren't reading the end of the sentence. :P
It's referring ONLY to season 1! - June 3, 2011 at 9:04 PM
- Kujiiro said...
I just read a comment on DeviantArt saying, "Transformers got us girls, so My Little Ponies got you boys." It just occurred to me how true that's become.
Anyway, I'd be surprised if anyone thought Luna wouldn't return for Season 2. She is Celestia's sister after all. Co-creator, goddess and all.
But I really hope the voice stays the same. Every fic I've read that involves Luna, I've read her lines in that same soft voice she had in the show. Almost like Fluttershy. I'll be upset if she doesn't turn out like we've all imagined ;_; - June 3, 2011 at 9:08 PM
So now Tara Strong is now the only gal with only one pony voice? Awww...well, she IS getting to be the new Harley Quinn, so I don't feel TOO bad... - June 3, 2011 at 9:09 PM
Holy shoot, I don't wanna toot my horn, but I mentioned this to Wyatt and got him interested.
- June 3, 2011 at 9:09 PM
- Louis said...
Uhhh.... fellas? I don't mean to be a killjoy about this, but what's all the hoopla about "Luna's Voice Actress" returning? It's almost a nonissue!
Luna is played by Tabitha St. Germain
Rarity is played by Tabitha St. Germain
So unless I missed something and Tabitha wasn't sure she wanted to continue playing as Rarity... well, why WOULDN'T they continue to use her for Luna as well? She's there, isn't she? - June 3, 2011 at 9:20 PM
- Aquaman52 said...
Wait, which one is Powdered Sugar in that video? Is the ear-rapingly annoying creepy-looking girl on the pony?
...oh, God, please tell me it's not her. Please tell me that voice will not intrude on my ponies. - June 3, 2011 at 9:21 PM
- Louis said...
P.S. - Out of curiosity, how many side characters do we know of on the show that are also voiced by
members of the "mane cast?"
(Tara Strong, Tabitha St. Germain, Ashleigh Bell, and Andrea Libman) - June 3, 2011 at 9:24 PM
The Closest I can think to a TFA crossover would be a character sharing the name and appearence of Powered Sugar,TFA did have background characters named after Lickety-split and Nightbright. Either that or one of the characters has a freaky dream that shifts into animation based on TFA.
Cool news that the Luna VA's returning though that should be a no brainer and that it looks like we'll have an even bigger cast for Season 2. - June 3, 2011 at 9:49 PM
- ToonNinja said...
Luna's VA return was a bit of a no-brainer. Still, woohoo!
- June 3, 2011 at 11:06 PM

A Transformers-MLP Crossover would be absolutely epic. Two of the greatest toys from the 80's, working together for some common goal.
- June 3, 2011 at 11:45 PM
When Transformers Animated started I was like "hell yeah Gargoyle voice actors, I'm all over this." And then I saw the character designs... You just can't do a good show with those character designs.
- June 3, 2011 at 11:46 PM

The GASP! sounds more cuter than the "I'm so sorry" line
But seriously she has to sound more sweeter - June 4, 2011 at 1:54 AM
Powdered Sugar is the pony Professor Princess is riding on in the clip.
As I read it, goldenrusset isn't the one pushing for it, potatofarmgirl is (tongue in cheek) bribing him.
I'm guessing Powdered Sugar would just be a background pony or get a few throwaway lines, so no big deal; just an easter egg for the TA fans. - June 4, 2011 at 3:23 AM
Ha, transformers. What, will they all be horse-drawn carriages or something?
But you know what? Since Transformers and MLP are two of Hasbro's biggest meal tickets, they could have a crossover. Emphasis on "could". It'd be difficult to make it work, but that isn't to say it'd be impossible.
Well, get to it Hasbro. My curiosity is now fully piqued. - June 4, 2011 at 4:05 AM
The fuck?
Transformers in my MLP?
Ther fuck are you doing, Jaysson?! Ruining the show? - June 4, 2011 at 4:23 AM
Hold on hold your ponies.
There will be no robots, no humans.
Powdered Sugar is the name of the pony doll that Professor Princess rides on.
It will probably be a one off joke.
Go to the transformers wiki and type in "professor princess". Then you will find that "powdered sugar" is the name of her doll. - June 4, 2011 at 9:00 AM
The only Transformer that I'd like to appear in MLP is Battle Unicorn.
- June 4, 2011 at 11:06 AM
Yay! I can't wait for the Luna episode. Not just because it's Luna but also to see the fan reaction. XD
- June 4, 2011 at 11:27 AM
- Heartmend said...
I am thinking they are referring to her only appearance in Season One, not the amount of lines she's getting in S2. :) - June 4, 2011 at 1:03 PM

"Goldenrusset is tyring to get Powdered Sugar into the cast of MLP, by way of cookie bribes. "
You are trolling right? Right?! Please :(
As of Luna - MASSIVE YESSS !!! - June 4, 2011 at 2:06 PM
- Ewyndall said...
Not entirely sure about this one, but I recall reading somewhere that Tabitha was voicing Nightmare Moon, not Luna.
So it makes sense to me now, but I can't recall where I read it, can't provide source so I might be wrong here.
Anyways, stop scaring me with ideas that Tabitha didn't want to play Rarity, I won't sleep for days now. - June 4, 2011 at 2:26 PM
Based on the video you linked, I get the impression that the inclusion of powdered sugar would be nothing but a cameo, seeing as how she's just a unicorn with no lines or consequence to the plot. The cameo could be easily done.
- June 4, 2011 at 3:18 PM
Sure do Miss Transformers Animated. Even though that was One of my Least Favorite Villains, That Cameo wouldn't be too bad.
But more Importantly, LUNA (Hope she has more than 1 Line This Season.)! :D - June 4, 2011 at 7:53 PM
- SonicBlueRanger said...
Okay I read Transformers My Little Pony crossover and I was like what? Then I watched the clip and what he meant was the Pony that character was riding on that got blown up by Bulkhead.
- June 13, 2011 at 8:24 PM
- Spiffy101 said...
Damn Sethisto, you really are losing it.
Tabitha St. Germain has always been part of the crew, she's not coming back. she's always been here as Rarity, this just means she'll be back as another character too. Like Ashleigh Ball with Rainbow Dash and Applejack, and Andrea Libman with Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy. - September 11, 2011 at 7:11 PM
