      This one took quite a while, didn't it? What can I say, I really wanted to be sure @Cash In gets plenty time to have fun  No, there definitely was not any other reason for this! 

      Seriously though, for this week's Staffer Of The Week, allow me to present to you the one and only, technical mastermind of MLPForums, meme virtuoso, wholesomeness enjoyer, silly pony and, of course, Wątróbka lover  - @Rikifive

      Few words about Riki will not be enough, but I can still try. Rikifive was an absolute legend ever since he joined the staff. Any time technical issues happen, Rikifive is the answer. When it comes to maintaining the stability of our website, ensuring its various features don't collapse onto each other he's largely responsible from preventing such unfortunate incidents.

      Many times it was his support that helped others learn how to navigate our forums better or handle any potential glitches we may be experiencing. Glitches, which, for a long time are more of a rarity than a daily occurrence. But his qualities don't end on that. Large reason for why he's so immensely helpful is because of how approachable he is. Often he doesn't even need to be contacted for help from the staff, he's so aware of what's happening around him that he steps in on his own. If that's not dedication to what he's doing then I don't know what is.

      When he's not helping with technical matters related to the forums, the fun part of his personality begins shining. It already took several forms, like amazing browser games (particularly this one and this one) he made for our forums and for our users to enjoy. Speaking of that, check out his profile. Particularly the bottom part of his "about me" section. Enjoy

      Now... as always a legend is required and with Rikifive there's a good one coming! Delivered by yours truly @Astralshy as of course he'd know Rikifive best c:

      Actually, it is not just a good legend coming, but an ultimate legend as it is fitting for a person as important as Rikifive. Let’s start with the basics. He truly mastered the ability to siphon all the prowess and strength from glorious beverage known as "tea", achieving absolute full potential of its benefits, gaining strength and wits of gods themselves.. He uses this power for many things, next to boosting his technical skills it also gives him a masterclass skills in meme usage and ability to always have perfect image for any situation he may encounter!

      I also have one from @Ice Princess Silky <3 :3

      Legend has it that he does not like anyone to insult the sacred watrobka! Should anyone say anything less than good things… he will shoot laser beams from his eyes!

      However, to quote myself, regarding Silky's legend...

    • Hello all you wonderful ponies! (And every other species~)
      I am working on making some Tarot cards based on MLP, specifically the 'Major Arcana' which are the 22 named cards. A full deck has 78 cards, and that is a loooot of cards.
      I fully planned on making all of the art myself, but then thought about getting the community involved! So here is my plan: Whether you are an artist or not, feel free to join in and suggest what ponies should be on each card, you can suggest one, or multiple! If you would like, you could even join in with designing the cards! I am working on a template for the cards, basing them on an easy-to-measure standard-sized playing card.
      Here is a form to fill, if you would like to join in. This is simply so it's easy to spot suggestions among conversations when scrolling through the thread:
       
       
      You can suggest ponies from any generation! I actually think some diversity in style and substance would make this quite unique, when compared to other major arcana decks I've seen based on MLP.
       
      My initial idea is to base the cards off of the idea that they are owned by Trixie, since she has the whole 'roaming gypsy magic' thing going for her. Though I am not against suggestions on others. Going off of this idea, the backs of the cards would be based on Trixie, with blue, purple and perhaps some gold in the design.
      I am still sketching out ideas, but if you would like to join in, make some suggestions, and see where this goes, then please feel free to post your suggestions below!

    • Hello everpony!

      Have you ever wondered how to get one of your own handcrafted artworks to the top of the MLPF? The answer is simple: submit a banner!

      MLPF staff will exchange the banner on top of MLPF with time. Of course, we are going to look for a banner which is suited to the current season. Something scary for Halloween and some snowy for Christmas.

      How do I submit a banner?

      Craft your banner


      Go to https://mlpforums.com/event-team/banner-submissions/


      Read the text on that submission page and please mind the rules


      Click on the submit a banner link


      Upload your banner




      All the further details are explained on the submission page, so read carefully. MLPF staff will pick from all the submitted banners. 

      Also: It is fully possible that in the future, MLPF will run a special event(s) which will come with their own rules. If you are making a banner for one of those potential future events, then please also mind those rules.

      Have a nice day,
      and have fun crafting

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.

 

Judging

Public voting will be open during March 25th - March 30th, 2024. Afterwards, voting will be finalized within staff and results will be posted as soon as we are able to share them!

$1000 GOAL ACHIEVED

Thanks to the boundless generosity of this precious community, we have surpassed the $1000 Goal for Making Christmas Merrier X, 2023! This is an incredible milestone, and to express our gratitude we have multiple unlocks planned to bring joy to the community. This is only the beginning!

Just as Smart Cookie, Clover the Clever and Private Pansy disregarded all differences between them and united as one community of friends to banish the windigos beyond the frozen expanse of eternal night, our community united to make a significant impact on the lives of children in need of emotional support and help. Furthermore, when I reflect on not only this monumental generosity but how this is the 10th year this community has come together to make a difference: there are truly no words to express how precious, rare and beautiful this is.

 


PART 1: DONOR OC BANNER

For the beginning of festivities for the $1000 unlock tier, Event Coordinator and Artist @Treeglow Flicker  will create a site banner for MLP Forums featuring the OCs of everyone who donated to MCM X!

All MCM donors, please reply to this thread with an image of your OC! Once we have collected everyone's OCs, we will get to work on building this banner as a thank you to all who donated.

Hooray! 


Thanks to everyone's generosity, we have surpassed the $250 goal for Making Christmas Merrier!

And to express our thanks to you, you have unlocked the Secret Santa reward!

Everyone on MLP Forums is welcome to participate in Secret Santa, regardless of whether or not you have donated. To participate, reply to this thread indicating your interest. For every volunteer, we will choose a user at random for you to design a gift for.

The gift will be a badge designed for that user! So let us know your idea once you have been assigned a user, and our resident Event Coordinator and artist @Treeglow Flicker  will make the badge!

Don't hesitate to let us know if you have any questions, and thank you so much to all who donated for your kindness and generosity.

Happy Hearth's Warming to all!

Made another seapony! Did Pinkie this time and I decided her sea pun name would be Pinkie 'Pier'. I thought it was funny, and so did my husband. Her tail/fins and markings are based on those of a clownfish. Most of them have pretty similar markings, so there isn't a specific fish picture this time.
