As a brony and a former owner of the MyLittleDNS project as well as its creator,
I approve of the idea. I believe it will not only let us, bronies, have their
own little internet, but also popularize OpenNIC among a strong and creative
community.

As for reasons for creating an .eq TLD, here goes:
- Giving bronies their own little domain zone, seeing as many people hate the
fandom for no particular reason.
- Spawning creative outlets - bronies are a pretty creative community, with lots
of fan artwork, music, fiction and even animations!
- Popularizing OpenNIC - bronies are a large community accepting of new ideas,
therefore we may get a lot more users of OpenNIC.
- Being about 20% cooler. Obviously.

I am willing to give my time and my VPS (for hosting things) for this project.

Hi!

I'm also involved with the MyLittleDNS project. It started as a fun idea to provide the .eq domain to bronies, and it's always been my thought that submitting it to OpenNIC would be a great idea, so that it can be used by more people, as well as having additional servers beyond the two or three that the small MyLittleDNS project can provide.

Currently, there's only one server available to be used (the equivalent of an OpenNIC Tier 2, I suppose), at 199.192.203.165 or 2607:ff50:0:c:4c81:86ff:fe21:62aa. It also works with OpenNIC and ICANN domains as well as the .eq TLD.

Unfortunately, there's currently no web registration method, but that's been on my todo list for some time and haven't had time to work on it -- I guess now that'll be something to do!
