  1. Yep! Technically we try to brand it as MLP Forums, and it gets shortened to MLPF. Buffy the mascot that represents the forums, and we have a few other characters for our other sites.
  2. Nothing wrong with the older generations! They had a whole different appeal and storytelling. Definitely fun to watch some of it, I grew up with VHS recordings of G1.
  3. A belated happy birthday to our lovely forum! I'm really happy we've managed to keep everything (Poniverse included) going this long and hopefully for many years to come! I'll keep doing what I do to keep us rolling, and hopefully we'll all pick up more friends along the way!
  4. I know I'm late to the reply party but congrats @Cash In
  5. Perhaps, I try at least! And thanks again everyone, I'll do my best to keep it up~ Always more work to be done everywhere of course!
  6. I still adore this picture to this day, and I'm really thankful for the gift that is working with everyone here. I'm still so very happy that we've managed to keep this community going for so long and hopefully for many more years to come! This toooootally isn't because you want everyone to dogpile on me for "Hug a Mercury" day right? That's alright if it is! Waiiiit my feddur, absconding with my floof is totally fine meaaaan But for real, you mayyyyy be onto something with that legend, who knows!~ This was incredible and unexpected, thank you so much for this! I've already mentioned that elsewhere but I can't say it enough really! Totally not for petting, noooo And lastly but not least to everyone else, Thanks I'm honestly glad to see that we're still able to have such a wonderful community. As we come to a close of yet another generation of MLP it'll be interesting for us all to see what comes next and no matter what I hope we're all still here to enjoy it when that happens!
  7. Batbrony It has been an age and a half since I've made a serious post on the forums, but it's good to be back (You can blame @Ice Princess Silky of course!). At any rate, I have been blessed with the honor of introducing this week's SOTW @Batbrony! Librarian and Loremaster: Part of what makes Poniverse, including MLP Forums, Canterlot Avenue, Pony.fm and our other services special is our mascots. Batbrony is one of our longest standing ponies still on staff today and is practically our librarian as far as lore goes. It seems (and actually has been!) an eternity ago that we ran our last fanfic contest to add to our expansive Poniverse fanfics, but without the work done by Batbrony and those that came before we wouldn't be what we are today! I appreciate all he did to make the transitionary period when we took on both Ponyville Live! and Canterlot Avenue to help incorporate them into the existing body of work. MLP Content Reviewer: He's not just well versed in our lore though, and if you visit his profile some of his most prominent posts on the forums are his episode reviews of various MLP content and he offers insightful things for lots of legacy content! Staffer Legends Time! They say that he was born with the Batman suit. We sincerely thank him for helping us be who we are today, and while life has kept him busy as of late with his career as a teacher along with learning how to be a dad we'll never forget his contributions and hope he'll have time sometime to come see us more often. Remember to always keep doing what you love man!
  8. It is likely that your browser is enforcing HTTPS or you have an expired session. The homepage of PVL does not support running under HTTPS as several of the stations never converted to SSL streaming. PVL itself is deprecated now unfortunately and most of what is here is just what is still running.
  9. Boop!

      Awwww I didn't even get notified of this! *Boops you back, trying to fly but you were too high and out of reach* D:

      And this test (not related to yours)...

       

      EDIT: Not working, so Invision did not fix this bug:

  11. One of the new chicken sandwiches and probably some fries, but you've really gotta eat them before you get home. Once they're cold they're a no go. (Also testing to see if posts are working again in the new Database schema!)
  12. Let's give statuses another go

  13. Testing a new row format for the database :D 

  14. Testing a new row format for the database :D 

  15. Good news, it looks like I found the source of the 503s finally and squashed that. Now we've just got to work out some of the other backend bugs but hopefully that means everything user-facing works as intended with the storage server reconfigured ^_^

      At that time before this status update was made, I was fortunate to be greeted by this pony named nginx :kirin:

  16. Testing new configs to make sure posting works as it should!

    1. Mercury

      Mercury

      Replies too!

  17. Testing for 503s during submission

    1. Mercury

      Looks like this is working

  18. We're finishing up a migration to a new server stack and the networking configuration is causing some traffic to get redirected incorrectly. This is causing the 503s because the forums trying to connect back to our fastcgi server gets a connection refused error. I am currently working on resolving this, and the situation should improve.
  19. Hopefully fixed!

      No worries
      Thanks for digging through the old logs!

      Are you trying to fix the 'blank status' issue?

    2. Mercury

      Mercury

      I'm troubleshooting why the fix we previously applied in 2019 for this issue doesn't work.

  20. When I ran the troubleshooter last night it disabled most of our plugins. That's all. I was trying to remedy the issue where the reply box and images were not loading and this was just a temporary side-effect. Many apologies.
