Ok, let's look at this entire thing from above.
We've got Chrono suggesting (strongly) that you guys move onto a separate forum but not necessarily leave the forums.
We've got Telly telling everyone how he'd moderate it.
We've got the majority of everyone else arguing that they shouldn't be here.
If anything, the pony argument has now devolved into "should we stay or should we go".
Looking back at the whole argument it's clear they won't leave.
1000+ pages, and only 5 % are about ponies.
That's a REALLY, really far fetched statement.
