I agree with Rarity. There really is no checklist you must complete to be a Brony, BUT I will say, it could be maybe he has lost interest and doesn't know how to tell you out of fear you won't understand. Best thing to do here is respect his choice in watching or not watching. You just keep on doing what you do, invite him to watch if he wants, but don't make it seem likes your friendship hangs in the balance. Friends should be able to be themselves, even if we lose a part of them. But worry not.....he may just need a break. Some ponies get lazy.

Okay, so I know I've been a member of the forum for all of a day but after reading so many well thought out post, I decided to make one myself. The question I present to everypony is thus: How far is TOO far to go into the fandom. Think on this a bit. I understand that people believe that adults watching the show at all is a bit far, even more so for Males who enjoy the show, but for us....those that already love it, what is our own level of tolerance? I'm sure everypony here would be accepting of other bronies even if they went a little to the extreme side a bit but the question is more about YOUR personal limits. Some of us never miss an episode....even if it means missing out or not doing something we NEED to be doing. Some get tattoos. I've even seen some people with cutie marks tattooed on their flank. Others talk like they do in the show and more still Cos-play as ponies. Does spending embarrassing sums of money on collectables draw the line for you? On the other side of the coin, List what you do or WOULD do if you could. I'll go first... I think anytime you neglect things that need to be done it can be harmful. Paying bills, picking up the kids from school or going to work are all important. The show can be seen on you tube or one of the streaming events at anytime. Though I did one time call out of work so I could Kill the Lich King during a World of Warcraft Raid......so....I like to think I've grown a little.... I would go as far as a cutie mark and finding a pony name for myself to use online. If I was lucky enough to have a group of friends who love MLP: FiM in my real life, I may even go so far as to use that name while in their company. So lets have it Ponies! Wheres that line in the sand for you and what would you do or have you done to show your pony pride!!!! Obsidian Winter

Alright. Everypony that is having trouble here are the directions.... Click the Scroll in the upper right hankd corner. Scroll down past the most the option until you see the Blue Gameloft symbol. Click it and log in. Then scroll down the bar on the left till you reach "Friends". If you are new like me it will be blank but up in the upper corner will be a + sign. Click it and your off!

Gosh, looking back I've been watching since I was tiny. I remember the movie where they had to find the Rainbow of light and got help from the sea ponies. They fought some kind of devil type guy who turned ponies into demons. It was cool when I was a kid, not so sure what I would think if I saw it again.

What a great idea! My ID is Obsidianwinter. I'll leave chests and such too!! Lord knows I need crystal hearts. I'm actually stuck on a quest because I can't get Scootaloo.

DashForever puts an interesting thought in my head about Discord. It was almost like Discord was a kid with a very powerful weapon but didn't truly realized what he had. He had the power to do so much more then he did. Control over reality is no small thing and he certainly injoined causing the misery he inflicted, but in the end it was too much of a game to him. His light hearted nature and over confidence did him. Now imagine a cross between Discord and ANY of the other villains that had a more serious mindset. *shiver* Hey! I'm not a Blank Flank anymore!!!! *looks on her flank* I GOT MY CUTIE MARK!! Woot! ((I'll have my pony pic up complete with cutie mark later this week))

Howdy Gypsy! Thanks for replying to my post. I think another poster up above said that even though King Sombra himself didn't do much, what he had done in the past very much affected the present. All the crystal ponies were dulled out, terrified to remember the past and even at the hint of his return, turned into a panic. I also agree with the poster that said he was constantly attacking Cadence's barrier and causing her great harm. That being said, I also totally get your point. If we go just on what the villains actually physically did in that episode, I would have to give it to Queen Crystalis. Corrupt to the core, that one.

Okay, my 2 cents.... 1.) King Sombra: He is without a doubt, hands down the villian of choice. Not only was his appearance and voice freaky but he wasn't just after the Crystal empire. As Princess Celestia said, if love and harmony radiate from the empire, those things radiate all over equestria. If hatred and darkness rule....It would be my guess those things would envelop equestria instead. That ability to see the big picture adds to his fearsomeness. Further, his magick is plain evil. Spells to make you realize your worst nightmares? Keeping an entire kingdom as slaves? This guy was certainly no joke. 2.) Queen Crys: Its hard to know where to start with her. She did so much to hurt so many. She disgraced Twilight Sparkle, nearly managed the fall of canterlot, took Princess Candence's place and threw the real pony in a dark hole under the city. The real princess looked horrible when she was found. She brainwashed 4 different ponies and of course didn't only use Shining Armor to feed of his love but wanted him as hers for really no other reason then because she could. "No I do not love the groom, in my heart there is no room". Feeding off of the energy of love is one thing but to steal another love from somepony just because you can is pretty dark. 3.) Discord: Not a very scary villian to me. Yes he was highly intelligent and clever, yes he managed to defeat the Mane six, but his end goal was chaos. Up is down left is right, chocolate rain, no gravity....all these things are pretty annoying but not evil. What he did to the mane six he did so they couldn't use their powers, but he didn't really harm anyone. I was amusing and I liked the character but outside of that he didn't really have me shaking. 4.) Nightmare Moon: Misunderstood. Her plan had always been to cover the world in endless night, not to make the ponies suffer but because she was jealous of everypony sleeping through her beautiful nights. She wanted to be loved and since she couldn't have that she would at least make them have to live, work, play etc at night. I felt more sorry for her then anything else. Yes she does have some pretty dark magick, but thats not the same as Sombra's Black Magick. I think thats all I got. Cheers! Obsidian Winter
