Big Book of Brony

The Big-Book of Brony is essentially a 'big book' or collection, might I dare even say an archive of MLP fandom content. As-of this release of the statement, our book maintains only torrent file downloads of primarily vector oriented content.

The desired scope of the book aims for far greater, however. For example; wallpaper archives, games, music, GIF files, and much more! With the limited staff the book is currently run by, only so much is possible.

Now, why would we archive this content, you might ask, especially when you can find the same things online that your book collects and archives.
It is a very important question! In fact, it's this question that drives our very existence!

Begin with this scenario; say Joe the Brony creates an account on Deviantart.com. In this account, he takes the time to make and upload a few sketches of Rainbow Dash making sonic rainbooms during practice. We see them and say "Oh those are very good!"

Years go by, as people live their lives, new bronies are born, and old ones disappear. Eventually Joe decides he isn't a Brony any longer, and deletes his account. Once his account is deleted, every scrap of amazing art he ever posted was just erased from the internet, never to be seen again. People go searching, but only see broken links.

Who would want such a thing to happen? In this story, the art was very good, and worthy of saving, but the internet no longer holds any easily traceable records of it whatsoever, even though it remained posted for, say, three years.

This is where the Big-Book of Brony should be. We should have archived Joes work, so future bronies can stumble upon it and look in awe and wonder. In the coming years, people should be able to take entire hours at a time just to browse the archives and relive memories, find source content, or just... Skim.

As you may or may not see, the B-BoB has a very good reason for existence, and has potential. But as-of the creation of this document, we do not have enough dedicated personnel to do the job.
So we need your help.
