> i´m been trying to establish a basic timeline of important events. What this means is will be fully defined over time but I figured that at it's most basic would be things like ownership changes and the dates of the various splits and remergers and with a possibility of looking at trends and and an attempt to measure the sites relationships and attitudes within the fandom. 

fair enough. Let´s see if there is anything formal and passionate of that site...

> but it has become apparent to me that even the basic task of a chronology of the site is filled with drama
oh....that....
oh boy, here we go again. As if /mlp/ drama was enough for this fandom...

it sounds like they have had inner problems that would come from their own site from those posts alone. /mlp/ was joking and posting memes of "Ponychan is dead lolz" but it seems that they have had enough activity for driving those mods to such decisions.

> Through it's just concern and sometimes hate being thrown around. Hard to ascertain things beyond that, and I'd want to be fair to even the one who looks the most suspect to me.
looking at the timeline and the OPs of those threads, it´s a whole mess for such a little time. Even the former co admin sounds tired as hell when he steps down for the 2nd time. Getting into the reasons behind this is...

> an evaluation of the administration would be impossible to avoid it. It has constantly has struggled with what it considers to be over the limits on edgy
basically this.

> the site seems to only have stabilized recently under the leadership of Mikie. Even then the site has faced a lot of drama
fingers crossed that he resists even though those mental problems affected to the dynamic for the site itself. 

> Even outside of them the site still struggles with users who are raising more legitimate complaints on acceptability
so by having politics put aside, the site is still having problems with its own terms. 

> you'd think that the fact there was an entire SFW chan (ponychan.us) made do to this things would be more settled
so does that mean that having a spot for NSFW can lead to less drama because of its consumption? I don´t know, everything sounds filled with too many political motifs behind its drama. I am quoting this sentence from you because that could serve for a meta topic towards the policy of that.

> all of it is that even with context a lot of this goes into a personal realm and he said she said situations.
what´s worse is that I am reading these lines and more or less it would happen the same to me if I moderated Nextchan and reunited a few users over there. 

> purely not touching the site's lore would only be censorship in an odd sort of way.
it depends either if you want to use the explicit report of it or if you want to make it more private for those who are involved. 

> I'm not even getting into the petty drama involving some idiots and lolcow tier people. 
We already have 8chan for that (one of the most active boards over there by the way).
