Well, not at first, but then when I started paying attention I saw Bronies practically everywhere I looked on the internet!! xD

Interestingly, I actually first got into MLP-FiM because of one of my friends.  Well, that and the AWESOME music the fandom generates!  Aviators FTW!  And Zaqho, Haymaker, and all those other awesome people that I can't remember the names of.
