Welcome to MLP Forums! Thanks for joining. This is a wonderful place, and I hope you'll have fun here. Feel free to send me a message if you ever need any help.

Hi, welcome to MLP Forums! My favorite pony is Fluttershy too, but I do love all of them. I'm in high school and I'm currently planning to major in computer science once I get to college in a few years. Good luck with your endeavors! Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions about the site, or just want to talk. I hope you have fun here.

Dude, your room is awesome. By the way, I saw Jeff Mangum (solo performance) live at his concert with one of my best friends last week, he founded Neutral Milk Hotel.

My recommendation is to edit your notification settings so that you get less notifications. If you still get too many notifications after this, you should probably defriend everyone you don't talk to frequently. When I first joined a few days ago, I had my notifications set to notify me of absolutely everything. Ever. I quickly found out that this got me a lot of notifications that I didn't need, so I severely edited my notification settings, so that now I only receive notifications for things that I truly want to be notified about.

I don't see why you would need to discontinue your blog, since I assume you can change its name in its manage settings panel.

I would want to teleport to Equestria, but only if I could come back. No matter how flawed this world can seem in comparison to it, I would never want to leave my friends and family.

What makes me the happiest is love, love in general. Love for my parents, love for my friends, love for life, love for nature, love for My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, love for the world. With life and free will comes both the good and the bad. I choose to focus on the positive, because it is in those moments that I know why we are here. Moments of negativity, for me, are often moments of ignorance through my own choices. Anyone who has had such an experience of God, who has felt such a profound sense of connection with reality, knows that there is only one truly significant work to do in life, and that is love; to love nature, to love people, to love animals, to love creation itself, just because it is. —Dr. George Rodonaia

Welcome to MLP Forums! I hope you have a good time here. I love all the mane 6, but Twilight Sparkle and Fluttershy remind me of myself more than the others.

Thanks for adding these new points to the rules, I agree with them completely. From my experience being a moderator on another website for several months, it's really not fun to have members publicly complaining and belittling the forum staff. It just takes the energy out of you after awhile. It's much better to discuss these sorts of disputes in a calm, civilized manner, which results in all parties being satisfied.

@ Nice, I've seen both of those movies. What's your favorite TV show (other than MLP)?

Welcome to MLP Forums! I like League of Legends too. A friend of mine plays Dwarf Fortress, but if I'm thinking of the right game, it looks pretty dang complicated. I also love fantasy novels. Feel free to send me a message at any time if you need help, or just want someone to talk to.

lol

Pretty much the only genre of music on that list I listen to on a regular basis is metal. However, I don't like the screamo, dark or violent metal. My favorite kind of metal is symphonic metal. My favorite band is Nightwish, which is a symphonic metal band. Other bands I like are Within Temptation, Finntroll, and Eluveitie. I'm not sure what genres they are, but I personally refer to Finntroll and Eluveitie as "melodic/folk death metal." Within Temptation really varies, some of it is symphonic metal like Nightwish, some if it sounds like more traditional rock or metal, and some of it sounds like melodic death metal.

When I was in the 3rd grade, I dreamed up an imaginary friend I dubbed "Wabouwb" (the b was silent). Much to the delight of my classmates, this interesting fellow took up residence in the ceiling right above my kitchen. I mostly invented this guy for laughs. I don't have any strong memories of pretending to talk to him, though there's a good chance I did at some point. However, I do fondly remember two memories involving other people's reactions to Wabouwb: Wabouwb became quite the sensation among my fellow 3rd graders in my class. In fact, it became a sensation to such an extreme that, at one point, my teacher said something along the lines of if she heard one more Wabouwb from anyone, there wouldn't be any recess. One day I was telling my dad about this fellow. I made sure to point out how the "b" at the end of his name was silent. My dad told me there weren't any words in the English language that had a silent "b" in them. I said there were, and he asked me to provide an example. I said "lamb." He told me this story years later, after I had forgotten, and both of us got a good laugh out of it.

What's your favorite movie?

I would love to be a proofreader. I have a passion for writing. Though I would be able to participate more in the writing of the story if I were a co-author, I honestly don't think I have time. I'm still in high school, and as such I am occupied 7 hours a day with school work not including homework and any other responsibilities I have that come first. Before I sign up though, I must ask you a question. Does the story involve excessive violence, language, or sexual content? By "excessive" I pretty much mean beyond PG-13. I don't like combining such things with MLP, I know many people don't have a problem with it but it just bothers me. If it weren't MLP related I wouldn't really care unless it was just downright obscene or grotesque.

@Skyplume Sounds good to me!

I know how you feel. I'm in high school, and I'm a major procrastinator. Not specifically about ponies, but in general. My recommendation, in addition to what Gone Airbourne said, is to make a schedule for yourself, and then stick to it. Currently, I just make a schedule in my head on a day by day basis, which is hard to stick to. I'm determined to stick to my schedule today, though. Today, I got home from school about 30 minutes ago. I'm going to use the computer for no more than 30 more minutes for leisure, and then I'm going to do my Spanish 2 and my Pre-Calculus homework. Then, I'll use the computer for a few hours, and then read more out of A Scarlet Pimpernel while I eat dinner for my Advanced English 10 class. Then I'll take a bath, and if I have time I'll use the internet some more, and then go to bed at 9 pm so I'll hopefully get about 9 hours of sleep for school tomorrow. I've never been into sports and rarely have I been into school activities at all, so most days of the week outside of school is my free time. However, I do usually attend taekwondo class on Mondays and Wednesdays. On Sundays I usually go to church and then to a bible study in the evening. Every once and awhile there will be a church youth group on Saturday, probably around once a month. I'm not a Christian anymore, I believe in a non-religious spirituality, but I still enjoy going to church, youth group, and bible study. I list my priorities to myself in my head when I feel like I need to make sure that I'm keeping them straight, because it's really tempting to choose fun over everything else, which is what I do most of the time. I'm working to get my priority list to look something like this: 1. Parents and friends (both IRL friends and internet friends) 2. Spirituality 3. My Health 4. School work / job (when I hopefully get a job for the first time this summer) 5. Free time* (*5 consists of many things that are very important to me. For example, watching My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and participating in MLP Forums ties into #2. I just have daily responsibilities that I need to take care of first.) So, you could do something like that: list your priorities, write them down and read it every day. There is absolutely nothing wrong with loving to use the internet, MLP forums, etc. It's just very important to keep balance. I know this, because of how unbalanced my life often is, and how I realize how much balance would help.

I'm sorry to hear that you feel isolated from other bronies like that. Maybe when you finish college you'll be able to move to a bigger city, closer to where conventions are held.

That's awesome! Here are some questions I have: -How did you get started doing this? -What kind of things to do you exactly to help them? -Why did you decide to do this?

Hi, welcome to MLP Forums! I'm new here too, I joined a few days ago. I've been using different forums for over 5 years, so feel free to send me a message if you have any questions about how anything works. There are definitely lots of nice people here. The cornerstone of the brony community is love and tolerance. For me, I see what I find inspirational about the show manifested in the members here, and in other brony communities. I would recommend checking out the Global Rules and the MLP Forums Official Resource Map, if you haven't already. Again, please feel free to send me a message if you ever have any questions. You can do that by clicking the "Send me a message" button on my profile. Have fun!
