Anyone else getting Anti Virus messages when logging onto this site?...

I'm not sure on the details, but it seems like a CDN. For example, if you view the source for this webpage: view-source:https://mlpforums.com/profile/48156-0pointnull/?status=1079682&type=status
Ctrl+F for "buffy" and you'll see over 80 results. Spot-checking them seems like they're all thumbnail images embedded throughout the page.
If this is the only subdomain appearing in your AV warnings it's either a false positive or a specific file was flagged by Malwarebytes. I have no idea if buffy hosts anything other than images so hard to say whether this is all a false positive or if there is an unsafe embedded file in a page somewhere (from user upload).

This provides some background about riskware: https://www.malwarebytes.com/blog/detections/riskware
In short, riskware is not necessarily malicious. In the case of MLPF, I can assure you the website itself is safe but as with any forum or social media site featuring user-generated content, there is always the risk of malicious links to unsafe 3rd party websites.
If you were only receiving warnings on specific pages, that would be my first guess: that someone embedded an unsafe link or file.
But if this is happening globally for MLPF, either this is a false positive (which would be the first I've heard of it, unlikely for as popular a service as Malwarebytes) or something else is happening to trip the detection.
Without further system details I can again only speculate, but it is possible you have a browser hijacker or something else on your system that's tripping the detection. Again speculating, but depending on what exactly it is it could also in theory visually distort MLPF images.
For basic/preliminary steps, you can try Malwarebytes remediation to see if it has any impact on the issue (sans the download/install step as you already have the AV): https://www.malwarebytes.com/blog/detections/riskware#remediation

What antivirus program are you using? I'm not seeing anything on your profile that should be triggering anything.
Without knowing the details of your system this is purely speculation, but it is possible for adware (e.g. loaded in through browser extensions) to hijack pages, resulting in antivirus warnings regardless of which pages you're visiting.
