I liked the episode well enough--it's nice knowing that not every aristocrat in Canterlot is a complete @$$. Although how Rairty managed to stomach being near Blueblood is something I'd like to know, as well as how Rarity explained RD to Fancypants.
Also,
EQD hit 80 million.
I calculated it out.
The site has been around for 324 days (that's including the day it was established but not including the 4th of December, which is the day I'm posting this).
80,000,000 / 324 = ~246,913.6 hits a day.
In actuality the site probably had a lot fewer hits in the beginning and is getting more than that right now (it's only shortly into the 4th and the site is already 600,000 hits over 80,000,000) but we're gonna run with that number for conveniences' sake.
It would take about 10.2 years (~3700 days) from the 3rd of December to reach 1,000,000,000 hits.
As noted, if the current rate is held steady it would probably take quite a bit less than that.
I'd need to take a number of samples of the average number of hits over a full day and calculate an average from that, then subtract whatever the current number of hits at that time is from 1,000,000,000 to get a more accurate estimate.
But assuming it doesn't drop below ~250,000 hits a day here, then 10.2 years at most.
ETA: You just know airship/blimps are going to make an appearance in FOE(PH) now.
