The "Welcome Back" Thread

Recommended Posts

During the really long hiatus, a lot of us drifted away from the forum. It's been almost two years since I was really "active" on the forum.

 

Luckily, it's pony season again. If you've came back after a long time, reintroduce yourself here. Maybe mention how the you and the forum have changed since then.

 

 

I for one was surprised to see that the 200 character mins are gone :P

Re-introduce myself? I could give that a go.

 

Hi, I'm Charlie. I was very active during the third and fourth season, but drifted from the forum as the season ended. I made a lot of friends here, but I feel like they have forgotten me in some way, which saddens me :'(

 

The forum doesn't seem to have changed for me except the banner obviously XD

 

I also have GCSEs coming up next year, so I fear I may drift further from the forum, or even leave the fandom all together. As I will be starting my real life. I am trying to stall this as much as possible.

Hey Charlie, nice to meet you and glad to see you're back on the forums! From the sounds of your post, I'm getting the impression that you don't think you can maintain a "real" life and be on the forums at the same time. Well, I just wanted to give you a little tad bit of encouragement. You see, I just joined the forums today and I'm in the middle of a job search during the week before finals week at my university (you know, that week where they dump all the projects on you at once just as you think your getting things cranked out? Yeah, that one.) I think you're underestimating yourself. I understand if you'd said that you wouldn't be able to post here frequently or see every new episode as it comes out, but leaving the fandom seems a little extreme to me.

 

BTW, you can friend me if you want.

Thank you for your encouragement, and good luck with that job hunt :). I get what you are saying, and I guess I do underestimate myself a lot, but that is a result of bullying. Don't get me wrong, I have friends, lots of them, and they are great support for me. I should have worded myself differently, I was trying to say that my life will most likely get so hectic over the next few years, like passing my final exams and getting a job, that I may not have time to interact with the forum, and I may even forget about it all together.

Eeyup, I totally get you, early 20s are a hectic time to say the least. Good luck with those GCSEs and try to remeber to pop in when you've got the time. We all like hearing from you, and I promise I won't forget you during your inevitable hiatuses.

Thanks! All my hope goes to you on that job hunt!

Howdy! I'm Uncle Apples! I used to go on this forum a lot, but my PC broke 2 weeks ago T_T Been on a crappy laptop this whole time. So it hasn't been going so swell, but at least I have Monster Hunter! :D I like greeting new people and being in a generally happy mood :3 So let's be happy together! :3c

No kidding! Still feels weird.

 

'Sup? I still might drift in and out, but the new season has definitely piqued my interest!  :)

 

My hobbies in photography and video editing this year have blossomed into something... more (career opportunities, not love you sickos), and now that I have more to do in my life, the more I tend to use the rest of my free time to chill out a bit with close online friends and otherwise have some alone time. However, if I feel in the mood, I'll still write my little mini-essays and I'll still gush about Applejack and still grumble about how X and Y episode could be more focused. My interest tends to go deep for short periods of time, as it were.

How could I forget a mercenary assassin who could read minds?

 

 

 

And it goes to show how long ago I stopped frequenting the forum, since I don't think I've ever met most of you guys before :/ (besides Jacket/Calirolls). Still, it's nice to meet all of you.

Open up, I have returned from a long journey and I bring news of the outside world. 

Yes I been going for nearly two years now and wingnut pushed me into coming back on the forums. I'm interested to see if any of my old friends are still around. I may have drifted away from the fandom myself, but interested to see if some of the people can maybe bring me back.
