Don't feel bad, Syd. I don't see what the big deal is about Johnny Test, but that doesn't stop it from inexplicably continuing to be a stain on the resume of every very talented voice actor involved.

Well at least they're getting paid, so I understand actor's willing to be involved with Johnny Test.
Conventions. Plural. There's Bronycon, Trotcon, Everfree Northwest, Canterlot Gardens, and also Brony UK in England, and the Galloping Gala in Stuttgart, Germany.
The full results of a clinical study on Bronies: http://bronystudy.com/id1.html
The full average demographic is a North American 21 year old single heterosexual (84%) male FT/PT student with an interest in dating but is not currently (only 5% less non-Bronies taking the survey were single). Personality-wise, Bronies are more prone to agreeableness and absorption better than non-Bronies; whereas non-Bronies who had taken the survey ranked higher on extraversion and neuroticism.
"Life is a waste of time. Time is a waste of life. Get wasted all the time, and you'll have the time of your life!"
NAMBLA has conventions too but that doesn't make them good.

Taking the general population survey right now.
EDIT: There is an extremely large amount of bias in the general population survey.
E.g. "I like to be treated as an adult by adults"
Well i am an adult so it's therefore assuming that i am not.
EDIT2: How often do you daydream about the internet?
Brb jerking off over the internet.
I see what it is trying to do here though. It's trying to suggest that if you are infatuated with the internet or games or some shit that is like Bronys.

The outcome of the latest episode to air up here, Secret of my Excess, has gotten me thinking: Now that Princess Celestia knows that dragons can un-mature, she can look into the pasts of every full-grown dragon in Equestria, find whatever it was that used to make them happy before greed overtook them and re-introduce it to them. One happy flashback later, they're babies again, no longer to pose a threat.

Why on earth did I come into this thread? I knew it would only bring me intense anger and disappointment.

I have been found out! I must now commit seppuku.
I hope there are no ponies in the afterlife.

I don't care how good this show is, just look at it. My wife would probably leave me if she walked in on me watching this, and I wouldn't blame her. I'm gonna go watch G.I. Joe now,

Well that's just like, your opinion man. Btw, which version of Joe? Renegades is basically like the A-Team.

I do like the show, but I'm not a huge fan of it. The first season episodes don't really do it for me (I saw a few clips when the show and the Brony thing first started, and I didn't really get the show's appeal with adults back then and didn't watch it), but I do enjoy a lot of stuff from the later half of the second season, which is when I first started actually watching the show. I like a bunch of the show's crazy moments, like Lesson Zero, Last Roundup and the like. I do give Lauren Faust and everyone credit for trying to put more effort into making the show more entertaining for kids than the old MLP cartoons. While I'm not too fond of the song lyrics (Only songs I liked where Smile and the last half of Art of the Dress), I do like how the show's composers put an effort into the music.
I'm still amazed by how big the Brony community has grown. I think what fascinates me is how the people who work on the show are so supportive of the fanbase, such as John de Lancie doing the documentary. I mean, you have an adult fanbase for the a cartoon made for little girls, and the people who make said show actually like the adult fans and want them as part of their audience. Who would have thought of anything like this happening?
(There are so many interviews of Tara Strong and de Lanice and other people I could post, but to keep things abridged, listen to this video from the 7:35 mark onwards. Faust, de Lancie, and Tara Strong talk about how they, Hasbro and the Hub feel about the fanbase, and then their involvement doing the documentary).
Also an article from Comic Con where Strong and the other main VAs praise the fanbase:
I mean, you have an adult fanbase for the a cartoon made for little girls, and the people who make said show actually like the adult fans and want them as part of their audience.
Makes sense to me. If I had a TV show, I wouldn't want to alienate anyone in my fan base. In fact, I can see them probably wanting an adult fanbase more than a child one. See, here's a little-known secret - TV shows, even animated ones, exist to make money. And kids tend to not have a lot of money. Adults, though, have gobs of spare cash to spend on crap.
