Creating Forums Unity!
Sunny Starscout posted a topic in Site Events,
Heya, everypony!
I hope you've all been enjoying March and all things Spring and Warm! Seeing the games you ponies play reminds me of the Equestria Games that my friends took part in at Maretime Bay!
I admit that it got off to a rocky start, but in time, it turned into a celebration of our differences, along with working together in unity and harmony!
Seeing everyone's ranks has given me a fun idea, which is why I wanted to host a game for everyone to enjoy together!
Just like how everyone joined in unity based on the pony types, everyone here can join together with other users of different ranks to form a group.
The goal is to create a group of users with as many unique ranks as you can find! There are twenty-three unique ranks - from Blank Flank to Element of Harmony. You can find the list here. [https://mlpforums.com/faq/site-problems/user-and-staff-ranks-r116/]
How to create a group? Ask other users if they want to join you. You can ask them in this thread or privately. If they do, and they aren't a member of a different group, post a reply in this thread by tagging all members of your group. If your group gets bigger, you can always edit the response or a post a new one. Remember: groups are allowed to have more than one member of the same rank, but one user can belong to one group.
Don't be afraid to interact and invite friends and users of different rankings to join in on the fun! It would make for a great opportunity to get to know one another, as well as to help create and strengthen the bonds of friendship!
This event shall last two weeks and the group that's closest to the maximum number of rankings shall be awarded a badge.
Never forget the most important thing. It's not about winning. It's about having fun, celebrating our rankings and working together!
Good luck and have fun in the games, everypony!-

Sunny March
Sunny Starscout posted a topic in Site Events,
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!-

Trot Shuffle,Sunny Starscout's Smoothie Scavenger Search
Sunny Starscout posted a topic in Site Events,
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!

SCS,$1000 Goal Achieved! (Part 1 - Donor OC Banner)
SCS posted a topic in Site Events,
$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.

SCS,MidnightFire1222's Pinkie 'Pier' seapony!
MidnightFire1222 posted a post in a topic,
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.
