No matter what, the staff is on your side. Hello there, everyone! Thank you for taking the time to read this. This post is to let you know that the staff at the MLP Forums are always working to make sure that this place is a safe, comfortable location for those who just want a slice of wholesomeness. Like coming home to your favorite comfort food after a long, hard day. A place where kindness reigns supreme, where you can let your guard down, and where you can find plenty of trustworthy friends without even trying. And that goes DOUBLE for the staff! We're not just enforcers. We care about what's best for our users and this community. Whenever you're in need, you can always rely on the staff. But sad as it is to say, there are those who don't appreciate the wholesome atmosphere we're trying to create and maintain. Some people take for granted how nice it is here, and when they don't get what they want, they try to tear it down and ruin it for others. When in doubt, seek out the staff. I'd like to take a moment to address matters related to any user that has been banned from this platform. We're not just creating and enforcing rules here. As stated before, we're trying to create a safe and wholesome community where anyone can feel welcome. Which leads me to this very vital point... If a user has been banned from the MLP Forums, please trust that the staff has VERY valid & well documented reasons for doing so. Therefore, anyone who was banned was a danger to the safety of this community and its users. However, humble and shameless don't usually go together. Those who get called out seldomly have the ability to accept the truth and admit when they've done wrong. Instead, they flock to social media, messaging apps, and other forums to try and twist the narrative. They try to make themselves look like victims with half-truths and convenient stories, pretending to be your friend, all while trying to make the staff here look like bullies and monsters. Projection at its finest. And we don't mind being held to a higher standard, as our users deserve it, but we don't like when liars try to prey on innocent users with their narratives and crazy schemes. We might not be able to control everything that happens outside of this forum, but we are here for you beyond these forum pages. So if you should encounter someone on Discord, Social media, or some other location trying to bring you into their fold against us... If you should have fears, hesitations, or superstitions about who is trying to contact you; feel absolutely free to reach out to us, the staff. We have moderators and admins that know who is worth your trust and who isn't. We can speak up on behalf of sweethearts, but we can also tell you when to avoid the trouble-makers. Please, don't ever feel like you can't reach out to us for the things that happen outside this forum. You can, because we're here for you. We'll protect your safety, everywhere. At the end of the day, this place is for ponies, friendship, and fun. We want to make it safe for everyone to enjoy all those things, especially those who need and appreciate it. That's what a community should be; a shared sense of safety for everyone. No worldly issues to get in the way of what we love, just fun and understanding. Take me, for example~! I'd love to be the hero that everpony can depend on, and if going above and beyond to keep this forum and its users safe is the best way to do so, then consider it morphin time for me! We trust the community to report Guideline violations and other disruptions, but we also want all of you to trust us for more. We want to be you friends and confidants, because we are always keeping a look out on your behalf. If you're not sure who to trust, let us be the guiding voice of reason that you need. Even if you're not sure which staff member to reach out to first, don't worry about it! We can always redirect you to whichever staff member can help you out in the best and the most efficient way possible. We're all part of the same team. tl;dr, read the headings, and you'll get the gist of it. Have a good day, everypony~! Thank you for putting your trust in us. We'll do our best to keep you safe and rise to all your expectations, as a good friend should.

Hello everyone. I'm sorry about my english, but it's not my native language. I joined this webside on 2021 because my real life best friend Jesse Terrence asked me to and because i was an out of fandom brony for some years at the time. Well, now i'm here with a heavy heart after a long time of absence to bring the news that my best friend, who's real life name was Miguel Angel Hernandez has passed away on May 1st 2025. The accident that took his life was a fire on his house, his parents made it out alive on delicate condition, but Jesse decided to go back inside to try to rescue his beloved animals, they were over 30 bunnies, 3 pigeons, 1 husky dog and a cat. He only managed to rescue some of them until he went back inside and never came back again. I'm telling this because i want everyone to know that he died as a hero to his animals, which he loved with his life, and he gave his life for them. I hope at least one person on this forum who knew him and considered him a friend reads this. And i am sorry you had to find out this way about his departure from this world. I will try to come back to read your comments and will anwer all messages regarding any questions or if you have any message you would like to dedicate to his memory, this will be the right place to do it. I will forever miss you Miguel, Jesse, you genuinely taught me about the true value of friendship... i wish i had told you how important you were for me while i had the time.

Today was my forumversary! 11 years. What? This blog post is inspired by a real masquerade scheme that happened and reminded me so much of how online friendships work! During my time here, this place has been nothing short of incredible. It’s such a surreal experience. Meeting real people who at first are just avatars, quirky OCs, or usernames floating around with snippets of personality leaking through in some interesting way, shape or form. Some are funny, some are weird, some are quietly brilliant. But slowly, you get to know them, post by post. And before you know it, you’re laughing, bonding… Back then? It was

(I was asked to make an official statement on this - which I think is silly but here it is. I have been provoked and summoned! Viewed all sides and angles and here is the official proclamation.) Announcement: TL:DR; Act I - People will be free to celebrate their family/friend-based holidays on MLPForums without being harassed or aggressively taunted about political matters to the public. Act: II - The second part is me making it theatrical since I'm used to people wanting exactly that whenever a change is made. :v Remember, guys: No politics are to be forced on the public face of the forums! This one's for the newer members or the members in the back, who might have missed it. No excuses. Go here for politics. Anybody who opposes this rule shall be faced with the Guidelines as if it were an old monarch. Similar situation to: King George III If you find the Guideliness are too "oppressive" and like you're "walking on eggshells" because we are simply asking you to not to be a mean to people ... Then prepare for a new Independence Day! I'll bring the fireworks. Just as the Founding Fathers left the "oppressive" Monarch of Guidelines they did not agree to. Off to a "much better place." Independence from forced politics so that everyone is a lot more comfortable with each other is a pretty chill chill rule. A mutually agreed upon arrangement. Should be a good day, then. We should give it a name. The day we became independent from forcing politics onto people. Let us call it Independence day! Original! I know. I thought it up, myself. So, on July 4th on MLPForums, we learned not to force politics on people and let people enjoy their BBQ and digital fireworks. Should anyone protest... more BBQ and fireworks shall be had! I volunteer myself as the villain who breaks into song and has a small query for them... (from the musical of Hamilton XD I'm just looking for an excuse to add this here because it's stuck in my head) 🎵 What comes next? You've been freed. 🎵 🎵 Do you know how hard it is to lead? 🎵 🎵 You're on your own -- awesome. Wow. 🎵 🎵 Do you have a clue what happens now? 🎵 🎵 Oceans rise. Empires fall. 🎵 🎵 It's much harder when it's all your call. 🎵 🎵 All alone, across the seas, when your people say they hate you 🎵 🎵 (for forcing political hatred) don't go blaming that on me. La dee dat dat dat. 🎵 (Just kidding, btw, we don't promote hatred here. It's just the silly lyrics to the song. Good musical, tho!) And that is my response to all of that. Provoke silly behavior and get silly responses. Just don't be mean. The Guidelines can be summed up in that way. Since music is good for the soul. Here's some more King George III references. Fun fact: King George III actually had a heckin' cute and wholesome relationship with his wife! Perhaps that is the true Easter egg here. Despite crazy differences, I've seen beautiful dynamics between people thrive. And this is what I would rather protect. :3 Closing out July with this! Now this music is stuck in my head forever! Gee, thanks! Other Upcoming Changes: I will be adding some changes to the site on August to make things more efficient while I am away. Meet the Moderation Team - (They're actually really sweet and caring! Just don't try to use their compassion as loopholes for leniency). Letters to Royalty - In Staff's promotion - there will be another section for you guys to post and communicate in! Cast Character interaction. I'm not a big fan of this one since I prefer more 1 on 1 engagement with staff but cast characters will be more active and engaging with users with more shenanigans!

here is my fanart of trixie and starlight ^w^

Hi everypony! I was inspired by @Street Light blog about friendship that I read today and decided to write my story about how I realized that friendship is important. Here's my story: I used to be like Twilight back then, I was a recluse, never talked to anyone and was not friends. I thought that I shouldn't make friends with anyone, because I thought that many people are evil. I thought so because of the bullying at school, but I knew that there were good people and still I didn't want to be friends with anyone. In my penultimate and final year of school, I started doing workout and self-development and the bullying stopped, I even bega

Um um um, hi guys, I'm back 😅 I'm so sorry for worrying you all. I didn't mean to cause such hurt. I missed you all the whole time I was gone. You all mean the world, the solar system, the galaxy, the universe, and the multiverse, and beyond to me! Truly, I don't know where I would be if it weren't for you awesome people! I feel so much safer here than anywhere else and that's because of all of you. This place is a home to me and you all are family! I love you all sosososososososososososososososososososososososososososooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...( 12,362,729,107,200,199 years later)...ooooo

Guys! Look! What's that other there?! Uh new button?! Whatit dew?! CLEEEK ET!!!!! So, when you click that button, you get to a page where you can learn a little bit about the mod team! But what if you shy ponies don't really know how to reach out to those mods to engage and would like to post a question on a thread, instead? I know you ponies for years. Sometimes you need a little poke to overcome your shyness to do a thing. Especially the newer folk over there in the back. We see you! And now, here I am to offer you the opportunity. "Meet the Mods!" announcement has a bit of a snippet of information for each and every moderator. So, would you like to engage with the mod team and see for yourself what kind of ponies they are? This is going to be more than just an announcement. I'd like it to be a little more fun and engaging. Mods are generally introverted but all the hard work and engagements they put into this place is not often visible on the face of the site. So, why not change that a bit? How to interact with this announcement: Understand that mods are here to assist you. Check out the 'meet the mods' thread. Read about each Moderator that works here. Tag A Moderator below with either at random question or something based on the description in that thread. Ask a question, comment or engage in conversation. It can be silly, fun, or serious - just please make sure it is respectful and stays within the Guidelines. The reason I stress the last part is because even I tend to banter a little too hard with friends in private and realise it can come across as rude if it's in the public. So, if you've known these guys for years and have some inside joke that might seem a bit rude or mean-spirited to an outsider, it is best that you word it in a way that even strangers will understand the context of it. Thank you for reading and have fun! Going to copy and paste the announcement below for your convenience. "Meet The Mods" Button!

I am feeling happy enough to potentially get back into drawing and art. Which.. is a pretty big deal considering how drained I've been feeling for a while now.

My awesome twin! See? Kismet. Fate knew! I'm glad to see despite how crazy life can be you just surf the waves like its nothing. Thank youuu I will be busy with some real life matters but you guys find ways to pull me back in with your warmth and kindness -- so here I am! Thank you, lovelyyyyy ... yours is around the corner, as well. *hugs* Thank you, Nito!! Remember that one time -- we met through mischief! I won't ever forget your first words to me, friend. Don't get me started! I admire your spirit. You're tough cookies and authentic. Remember when we went toe to toe that one time because [reda

Awww Samural, thank you for posting this, lovely. It shall go wonderfully with the new addition to the site where people will be able to connect more with staff through anonymous posting. Hidden threads, etc for the more... shy types who are scared or worried to speak up. Staff is here for you. We are constantly managing the up keep and safety of the site for users to enjoy. So, even if we seem far and distant or detached or rarely acknowledge your shy/hidden presence... if you're here, enjoying the site and community, we're happy to know that and happy to help in any way.

Reflecting a lot. information overload sometimes and then paralysis by analysis but making some happy changes.

I'm feeling burned out from my real world job

Soft. Quiet. Pensive.

Rest in peace, Jesse Terrence. May your legacy live on.

I'm really happy and appreciative of this new rule. Thank you Silky and the rest of the Mods for putting it in place! We just want a fun, silly, and wholesome place to post about ponies, friendship, and fun!

I feel a bit tired, but that's probably from being woken up twice last night for work-related stuff.

I've been sick and stuck in bed for the last few days, which has been less than ideal. I am feeling a bit better today though.

A bit saddened but I will have to head out and distract my mind.

I'm feeling this way every ending of working week when the battery is empty. 9n9 But now I'm feeling supercharged. Maybe because I was cycling the whole last week ^•^

RIP Jesse Terrence Rest easy. We’ll never forget you.

Tired from my poor sleep last night lol

Bad actors aren't as slick as they think they are. Word travels fast, and we have more connections than they realize. Or maybe that's just a benefit of being nice. There are plenty who see the great things we are doing, and they don't have the heart to let bad actors tear it down, so they come to us to let us know what is going on. It's kind of funny, that title, isn't it? Bad actor. An actor is suppose to make us forget we are watching a play or a show. Their acting is suppose to be so good, that for a moment, we truly believe what we are watching. A bad actor would only fail at this, making it painfully obvious that you are watching a fictional performance.

What you see on the thread is the current news. What's in the works is merely a reflection of this philosophy, so, we cannot stress it enough. Just know that staff has your back. You're not alone. Even if you feel sad or lonely or like a bother -- please reach out and talk. Say hi. Know that we care about you. Through thick, thin, good or bad. We're here. To enjoy a good laugh or to address a serious matter. Staff is very caring and involved. We're not invasive, though. Staff won't be going to you, personally. You'd have to come to us and keep us in the loop of whatever is on your mind. We will also be enforcing thread rules here - especially in the Throne Room. Replies have to stay relevant to the post and not so low effort. So, not as much banter unless it's an Event or light-hearted thread like General Discussions/Lounge, etc. Thanks for reading, Ziggswheels. And thanks for being a darling friend in this community.

I'm thinking about my dinner that I forgot to eat. Focused on other things right now.

Actually, go ahead, I've been gone for years. Hello, my name is Quinch and I used to spend quite a bit of time around here until I just sort of gradually drifted off. So, I decided that, if I was going to dip my toes into the whole socializing thing, I should probably start somewhere I was comfortable in. Here's hoping it goes well!

to read the sweet comments! ;-; <3 thank you

Relaxed. Went out for a nice long walk with my father. Made a new necro bunny on CA today.

This picture just made me laugh.

I'm thinking of how lucky I am to have a teacher that encourages me to spread the magic of friendship, beyond the physical world's limitations.

I'm not ready to clean my room up just yet

New plans and new possibilities.

The reference to a youtube sponsorship made me laugh! I didn't see it coming! I watch a lot of youtube videos so this pun was particularly funny to me! Thank you, Silky, for giving us a reminder of the rules about politics and hatred in the MLP Forums! Now, I shall return to not talking about [REDACTED]!

This one right here really got me. As an Admin observing many community activities, as much as we try to offer kindness and support from the outside -- it isn't until the person accepts themselves on the inside or loves themselves to some degree that the kindness and support truly come into full effect. This was a really inspirational blog post, Comander. I love this feeling. I am happy that you found a friend despite your expectations. Even better than you? Hmm... not sure but it definitely shows you have a lot of respect for him and that tells me that having a friend of such a high regard means you know you're worthy of

Feeling really happy. Lots going on this month! Looking forward to some changes.

I feel betrayed... An ungrateful person suddenly cut ties with my partner, after years of compassion and care towards her. All that friendship, unappreciated...

My lovely friend is back, so my heart feels more full. I got surprise art today -- omg, even a backlog of some and more! I am finding enrichment in everything around me as of late. Making more art. And enjoying some nice conversations. Spoke to @Sir Hugsalot to check in on him and his loved ones -- so that was a happiness boost. Everything is okay. Everyone is okay. Even if life is not perfect, we're just vibing and doing our best. So, I am happy.

Raaah! I'm an artist currently stuck in a mlp research rabbit hole to try and write (and maybe make but knowing my procrastination issues it might be a while lol) a fan comic and it's taking way longer than expected lol. I love reading peoples theories on things in FiM!! I'm a bit of a chronic forum lurker so I may not post much but I wanna try and become more social eventually and I'm hoping being on a forum will help me come out of my shell!

today not great; my mother was being controlling about stuff and trying to decide for me where my stuff should go [cabinets] etc at the bathroom and when i tried to tell her thats not how i wanted it.. she literally told me to not be so pathetic when i told her i wanted it differently.. last night also didnt end well and today i experience that in anxiety and heavy feelings. i love my family but this really wasnt nice..

"These feelings are growing stronger, aren't they?"

What it feels like when you're an Admin and you get messages from different people with different opinions and points of views from all over the world conflicting with each other but you have to remain as impartial as possible. This fine.

All hail Chillestia!

Disappointed. I was doing so well too

I’m feeling SO HAPPY for you, @Treeglow Flicker !

I just logged on and… Really? -.- why is it two??? Also. I see someone is up to something.

Grateful that there are a lot of good people here on this forum, and nobody here has ever called me a freak or other horrible names for my fan fiction I worked on.
