I would like to thank whoever made this article, it's kind of the only reason more than 2 people know I watch this show. It's also made me meet a lot of other fans (and even a few bronies and pegasisters)on the internet and away from it.
Just one problem, that's not how you spell Vinyl Scratch, Everyone!
I watch MLP:FiM with my 3 year old daughter all the time and my wife can't believe it! By the way fellas.. Fluttershy is my best pony, so much so that i think i got a crush!!
This article and thread has made me a Brony and I have not watched a single show yet... Downloading season 1 now... (I don't think my internet is fast enough for a live stream... Torrents are my only option...)
Ok, so with the first 3 shows downloaded, I started watching. Everything was cool. I found it quite cute, till Pinkie started singing. Once that preppy pony started singing I had to put off the sound to prevent brain damage. Once she stopped, everything was cool again... So far, I like it, but Pinkie irritates the hell out of me. (As do all real life girls with the same personality.)

You are the FIRST person I have ever heard say that they didn't like the music and/or Pinkie Pie. That's..... weird.
Pinkie Pie seems to get less irritating a few episodes later as I've watched on, and as her character develops she seems less of a bratty-preppy-blond stereotype combo and more of a super upbeat fun loving girl. I guess some of the characters will have to grow on me, and I'll have to get used to the incredibly super cute nature of the show. Plus, a high pitched girl voice is not present in any of the music I've ever listened to, but after 6 episodes, the theme song has gotten stuck in my head, and not in an irritating way either... Heck, I guess it is like olives, I never liked olives, but now, I can't get enough of them, I'll eat a 500ml jar of olives in one sitting...
We actually watch 4 or 5 episodes per stream, you're probably just too blitzed to remember
Maybe the holiday/weekend streams XD, otherwise I've got that bloody 12:30 bs, don't worry once I hit uni I'm going to stay up through the whole thing.
I'm reading my first fanfic, (It takes a Village.) and I find I like the fanfiction even more than the actual series! As someone who wants to become a writer and journalist, and who has read many, many books, I am STUNNED at the quality of writing. The incredible use of adjectives is what impresses me the most, followed close by the good story telling technique...
............ I didn't get MLP until i watched the first few episodes. Even then i just thought it was a good show, and didnt understand the community aspect. .... just read the ENTIRE thread. Now I get the community thing, cause this is the most awesome comment thread I have ever read.... no flames or trolls or insults.... you guys rock! (and i almost feel like a stalker...)

That is indicative of Icrontic in general. Welcome! Stick around and you will see what I mean. Why not register and introduce yourself?
Long story short - breaking proper canon bugs me, and I don't like the abundance of sex put into a universe in which it doesn't belong.
I have read a few fanfics, though. I try to find the ones that lack that which I just described. I've read "Friendship is Tragic", "Our Last Goodbye", "My Little Dashie", "Cupcakes" (heh), and I recently started "Fallout: Equestria". They're starting to grow on me, now that I know where to look for fanfics that are categorized.
On the note of SFW fics however I quite enjoy reading a lot of them, recently I've been making use of EQD's Simple Story Archive because they've got everything ranked and labeled so that I can see what the content is.
At the moment I'm reading a western fiction (Will edit link in later tonight) a few stories about The Great and Powerful Trixie! Fallout Equestria, Its a dangerous thing going out your door, etc, etc.
It's amazing how the words BEST PONY cause many of you to mispell words... I've seen Pinkie Pie mispelled a dozen different ways. PINKIE IS BEST PONY. PINKIE IS BEST PONY. PINKIE IS BEST PONY.

Indeed.

Also I was thinking of running a stream tomorrow for anyone who needs that 'Pony fix'
We also watch a ton of smaller commercials and whatever people want to add to the stream playlist.

We don't take kindly to clopfics around here.

Dude's written enough in his series of stories to actually fill out five or more four hundred page novels. In his spare time...
There are a ton of fanfics out there that are really worth it and filtering through the junk is tough but http://www.fimfiction.net/story/3562/Gilda-Versus-Knitting fics like this make it more than worth it.
