    • Hey, everypony! 
      Sunny Starscout here, wanting to welcome you to March and all things nice and warm! 
      With Spring on the horizon, it reminds me that Winter is almost over. The sun shining, the weather warming up, even being able to ride my rollerblades around Maretime Bay! 
      However, Spring isn't just about all things warm and bright. It's a symbolic meaning of rebirth! The trees with their new leaves, animals waking up from their hibernation, even flowers coming into bloom for the first time in months! 
      You know, it reminded me of how magic came back into the world of Equestria. The time that all three pony tribes were divided. Hitch and I meeting our new friends, Izzy, Pipp and Zipp for the first time. 
      It wasn't truly and easy task, but we managed to find the pony tribe gems, brought them together, and helped everyone to see that friendship and unity can truly make a difference. 
      As a result, magic had been restored and I had become an Alicorn! 
      In a way, it's sort of like a rebirth for all of us living in Equestria!
      That's why I want to celebrate March as a time of coming together in this time of rebirth!  
      There will be some events here and there to welcome Spring and all things fun in the name of friendship! 
      It's like my dad had once told me. That my family is a little too small for such a big task, but family is just a fancy word for ponies that always stick together. Your friends can be a family that you choose. That's why, Hoof to heart, I know that we'll always do our part.
      Happy March and Happy Spring, everypony!

    • My bananas~! Nanananana~! Bananas!  
      *As Sunny sings, she turns to take notice of the reader hearing her singing*
      Oh! Hey, everypony!
      I hope you've all been enjoying March, so far!  
      One thing that I like to do when I'm not hanging out with my friends or riding on my rollerblades is making smoothies!
      Seeing my friends and everyone try out my latest flavors always makes me happy when they get to enjoy.
      Which is why I've been wanting to try out this new flavor I've been thinking up for quite a while!
      I don't think it's ever been made before, but a special treat for everypony here on the forums!
      *As Sunny fetches her ingredients, she takes notice that her ingredients are missing*
      Huh. That's a bit strange. I knew I had these ingredients right here. Unless I misplaced them?
      *As Sunny continues to search, she takes notice of Sparky the Dragon crawling around her smoothie cart*
      Sparky? What are you...uh, oh! I think I might have an idea on where everything might have gone to. Due to Sparky's fire breath, some of the ingredients have most likely been teleported away.
      I was honestly looking forward to making this new flavor for everyone, but it might not be possible. 
      *As Sunny heads back to her cart, she finds her list of ingredients for the smoothie right near Sparky*
      Wait a second. That's it! There's been a slight change in plans, everypony!
      I wrote down a list of ingredients on creating this smoothie. However, I wrote down where I'd be sharing this smoothie with you all.
      Since the ingredients have been lost, we can turn this into a Smoothie Scavenger Hunt! 
      If you manage to find all four ingredients, then you can DM the list to me, @Sunny Starscout! If you manage to find all four ingredients, then you'll get yourself a badge!
      The scavenger hunt will last until the end of the month! Which will give everyone plenty of time to work together and find the smoothie ingredients!  
      Here are the clues for you to find each ingredient!
      1. To find the Milk, look no further than our lovely chocolate loving mare!
      2. To find this fruit, you'll find it in both the song and when I had that epic fail!
      3. To find this vegetable, look for when we had to clean up the season.
      4. To find this extra fruit, you can find it from one of Twilight Sparkles old friends. They are a Heartfelt Fan!
      Good luck everypony and happy searching! Remember that Hoof to Heart, we'll do our part!

    • Welcome to the MLP Forums March 2024 Visual Art contest 

      Welcome to the first Visual Art Contest of 2024! We took a brief intermission to make space for MCM, but we're excited to jump back into monthly art contests.

      The theme for this month is:

      Winter Wrap Up!


      Requirements

      Create artwork of ponies (and/or other canon creatures or OCs) engaging in activities welcoming Spring


      This can depict Winter Wrap Up activities as seen in MLP G4, but by no means has to be limited to this: this was just the inspiration for the general theme


      You can depict your own interpretation of "Winter Wrap Up" activities, Spring cleaning, welcoming Spring or anything that you feel captures the spirit of Spring


      Some example ideas: waking up animals that hibernate, cleaning off snow, welcoming back birds that flew South for the winter




      Both canon and original characters are allowed, as well as any MLP generation


      All members of MLPF are eligible


      No AI art will be accepted, however it can be used for initial inspiration


      Animations no longer than 10 seconds are allowed




       

      Deadline

      Submissions will close on March 24th, 2024.

    • "Made for Kids" setting on videos that are unsuitable for children, plus the disabling of comments because of this. Copyright claims. And most recently, the restriction of AI usage.   All these reasons left me with no choice but to terminate all my YouTube channels. Now, I only watch YouTube if I feel like it.
    • Thank you! Me too! It's the whole reason I'm here. Tired of being alone. Thanks! It's great to meet you, too!   I'm really looking forward to it! Thanks for the reassurance! I've never felt so welcome in my life!
    • I just learned tonight the hard way that you guys were right all along. I do admit, censorship isn't the clear reason why some animated specials just don't get released in a long time. It could most likely be because of obligations with other companies, in the case of Hasbro still refusing to leave Discovery Family after their contract was supposed to be terminated much earlier than it does now. Whatever's happening, I still want to see Danish, French, German, Greek, Italian, Norwegian, Castilian Spanish, Swedish, Thai and Turkish dubs of this special get released someday, since there's a lot more content dubbed in these languages compared to the ones Rainbow Roadtrip has already gotten. For what I know, Netflix exclusively hosted most of the previous specials, but Hasbro decided to stay on Discovery Family for another several years, and rejected their agreement with Netflix. I'm hoping that next year, Hasbro will not renew their contract with DF again, since that channel is obviously trying to make more room for WB cartoons, and Hasbro will be forced to move on to another service, where they'll easily be able to release everything including Rainbow Roadtrip worldwide. By the way, YouTube won't work because the show always keep stopping at Season 4 of FiM, so it'll have to be anywhere other than YouTube.
    • The concept of an NFT has been around forever. The idea is just an idea, but the culture that's sprung up around them is something truly vile. 1. In short, it's another business cult, exactly like Amway. It boils down to a pump-and-dump scam where the 0.1% are bilking the 1%, just with enough internet-era abstract concepts built in that the dinosaurs that run our country can't see through it. 2. The technology its built on is deeply flawed and shockingly inefficient. Minting an NFT costs over $100 because it's using that much actual, real electricity because of the sheer amount of calculations required, because it has to build its own contract subsystem on top of the existing smart contract system. Every NFT has to recreate all the functionality from scratch. It's an absolute bizarro world, but because cryptocurrency's security is fundamentally based on the fact that it will never, ever change, this ludicrous cost for what should be a few hundred bit flips is just accepted as the cost of doing business. 3. Just look up "going to the moon" and that's pretty much all you need. They just keep people to keep buying in because it raises the price, and thus everyone's valuation goes up. It seems like magic to the ones who get scammed, but they simply ... just ... don't realize that to actually turn that back into money, someone has to be willing to buy all of it. Then when all the gullible buyers are used up, it's not the savvy ones who are left holding these stocks, or NFTs, it's either overconfident 1%ers who have the money to throw away, or much more often, just regular people who got misled into investing their life savings, and then are left destitute after the fact.   I mean poor communication between devs and customers. I mean videos and demos and infrequent updates. It's just more common now for companies to put up walls between themselves and the community they depend on. It's just necessary in a world where tiny things can blow up in hours. It's just best to say nothing at all unless it's been meticulously poured over for anything that could offend someone. When employees started getting in trouble for things they said off the clock, that's when I realized we'd entered a horrific new world where we're expected to represent out company 100% of the time, and that's so fucked up. *Sigh*. I have a friend who invited me to a game jam. About an hour in, I realized he had no idea what he was doing. It was like watching a cult of making video games. So I asked to join another team. He never got beyond making some pipe graphics and putting them in a grid. The team I joined produced a fully-playable game, and actually asked me to keep working with them, but I chickened out because that's not why I went there in the first place. And ... honestly ... the team wasn't my cup of tea, either. They're wannabes, with no dev experience, that don't realize that you will have to constantly iterate your design many thousands of times before you create what you want. With no experience, they have no idea how to make their ideas solid and realizable, they just keep working on concepts and ideas and never actually make anything because it's tiring and too hard. Ideas are easy to play with, writing is hard. Trains that big should be treated like motherships. A crucial asset that is both extremely durable but also extremely vulnerable. They're big enough to have hangars and garages for other vehicles that can more efficiently explore and exploit the terrain. Ugh. It could be done well, but I don't think they're on the right track to do so.

      I finally tried the "Space Dunk" limited edition Oreos...they started off with a decent taste...but then a ton of popping occurred in my mouth.
      Whoever thought they should put "popping candy" in cookies that activated while you bite them should be fired.

      here I am…
      I can’t believe it has been almost 3 years since I joined the forum. I know I haven’t been online very much since july of ‘21, but when going through my old phone, I found this. I found MLP forums. a place that I could go to whenever I felt like it. just wanted to check in to tell y’all i’m alive, not super well, but i’m trying. i miss y’all, and wish I could come back to this, but I haven’t watched mlp in years and I feel like their still is no reason to stay here if i’m not super interested in mlp. after this, i’ll be gone for a while, but I may pop in every few months (what i’ve been doing for the past few years). I’ll have this tab open for a day and i’ll answer any replies.
