  1. No. Would you date someone who likes trying new death-defying sports and stunts regularly?
  2. Bad actors aren't as slick as they think they are. Word travels fast, and we have more connections than they realize. Or maybe that's just a benefit of being nice. There are plenty who see the great things we are doing, and they don't have the heart to let bad actors tear it down, so they come to us to let us know what is going on. It's kind of funny, that title, isn't it? Bad actor. An actor is suppose to make us forget we are watching a play or a show. Their acting is suppose to be so good, that for a moment, we truly believe what we are watching. A bad actor would only fail at this, making it painfully obvious that you are watching a fictional performance.
  3. No matter what, the staff is on your side. Hello there, everyone! Thank you for taking the time to read this. This post is to let you know that the staff at the MLP Forums are always working to make sure that this place is a safe, comfortable location for those who just want a slice of wholesomeness. Like coming home to your favorite comfort food after a long, hard day. A place where kindness reigns supreme, where you can let your guard down, and where you can find plenty of trustworthy friends without even trying. And that goes DOUBLE for the staff! We're not just enforcers. We care about what's best for our users and this community. Whenever you're in need, you can always rely on the staff. But sad as it is to say, there are those who don't appreciate the wholesome atmosphere we're trying to create and maintain. Some people take for granted how nice it is here, and when they don't get what they want, they try to tear it down and ruin it for others. When in doubt, seek out the staff. I'd like to take a moment to address matters related to any user that has been banned from this platform. We're not just creating and enforcing rules here. As stated before, we're trying to create a safe and wholesome community where anyone can feel welcome. Which leads me to this very vital point... If a user has been banned from the MLP Forums, please trust that the staff has VERY valid & well documented reasons for doing so. Therefore, anyone who was banned was a danger to the safety of this community and its users. However, humble and shameless don't usually go together. Those who get called out seldomly have the ability to accept the truth and admit when they've done wrong. Instead, they flock to social media, messaging apps, and other forums to try and twist the narrative. They try to make themselves look like victims with half-truths and convenient stories, pretending to be your friend, all while trying to make the staff here look like bullies and monsters. Projection at its finest. And we don't mind being held to a higher standard, as our users deserve it, but we don't like when liars try to prey on innocent users with their narratives and crazy schemes. We might not be able to control everything that happens outside of this forum, but we are here for you beyond these forum pages. So if you should encounter someone on Discord, Social media, or some other location trying to bring you into their fold against us... If you should have fears, hesitations, or superstitions about who is trying to contact you; feel absolutely free to reach out to us, the staff. We have moderators and admins that know who is worth your trust and who isn't. We can speak up on behalf of sweethearts, but we can also tell you when to avoid the trouble-makers. Please, don't ever feel like you can't reach out to us for the things that happen outside this forum. You can, because we're here for you. We'll protect your safety, everywhere. At the end of the day, this place is for ponies, friendship, and fun. We want to make it safe for everyone to enjoy all those things, especially those who need and appreciate it. That's what a community should be; a shared sense of safety for everyone. No worldly issues to get in the way of what we love, just fun and understanding. Take me, for example~! I'd love to be the hero that everpony can depend on, and if going above and beyond to keep this forum and its users safe is the best way to do so, then consider it morphin time for me! We trust the community to report Guideline violations and other disruptions, but we also want all of you to trust us for more. We want to be you friends and confidants, because we are always keeping a look out on your behalf. If you're not sure who to trust, let us be the guiding voice of reason that you need. Even if you're not sure which staff member to reach out to first, don't worry about it! We can always redirect you to whichever staff member can help you out in the best and the most efficient way possible. We're all part of the same team. tl;dr, read the headings, and you'll get the gist of it. Have a good day, everypony~! Thank you for putting your trust in us. We'll do our best to keep you safe and rise to all your expectations, as a good friend should.
  4. No, but I wish I could. Do you take medication in the morning?
  5. I wouldn't. I value my health, thanks. Would you date someone who is always trying to get on TV? Not get famous, just get on TV.
  6. Happy Birthday! :mlp_yeehaa::blue_baloon::balloon:

      Thank you!

  8. I guess the question is, how far back should you be able to check? Two days? Five? A month? All the way to the beginning of the year? To me, being able to see the current day's birthdays is enough. And if you need more then that, having a specific Notification about your friends/followed users should be enough. Although, under the expanded Notifications page, it might be nice to have little tabs to help you view only specific kinds of Notifications. You could have tabs such as... All, Status Updates, Friend Requests, New Followers, Birthdays, Blog Posts, Forum Posts, and so on.
  9. Hmm... I am still not sure how @Sparklefan1234's idea would work. My fear is any icon or marker would disappear when you accidentally navigate away. That, or it would get confused about which Notifications you have and have not checked yet... But I do have a slightly modified idea! Imagine a marker you could drag with your cursor/finger and manually mark whatever Notification you want. And with a simple click or tap... The marker would be anchored to the Notification you selected! That way, even if you accidentally reload or navigate away from the page, the marker will always be on that specific Notification you chose. At least until you un-anchor it.
  10. Nope. Do you know the way to San Jose?
  11. Exact same? No. I need SOME differences at least. Variety is the spice of life, and I don't want to live in a narcissistic echo chamber. But I can't say I'd date someone who is the extreme opposite of me either. I know it's more about chemistry than what you have in common, but if we are THAT different, I fear it would become a point of contention between us. We need to have a few things in common, at least. Would you date someone who always has more money than you?
  12. It may have given me a headache, but that magic eraser was the best part of the cleaning job. Kindness is a necessary commodity. When we have an abundance of it, we can take it for granted, abuse it, refuse it from the most obvious of sources, search for it in places where it might not exist, treat it like a useless act of naivety, or even believe we've reached a point where we don't need it anymore. But when it is truly gone, when we live in a world that is truly cruel and merciless to all, that's when we need it most. Or, to put simply, you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone.
  13. Dear Princess Twilight, I ran out of crazy things to report to Celestia. Can you help me create a crazy problem?
  14. Hello there, my crowd! Welcome to my Weekly Musings: Orange Edition. :mlp_icwudt:

    [I ❤ JAPAN] -- [I ❤ THE COLOR RED] -- [I ❤ CELESTIA]

    Police STOP - Emoticon Point Right Feel free to leave a video request. Your video will eventually be featured in a future Weekly Musings entry! Point Left STOP - Emoticon Police

    Hey there, my crowd! 250631.gif Digital noises, nao~!

    sun.png.8ab21d7000bfb88f283da8c5e2f104cc.png WOW! What a week! :love: I got a new computer desk. It's my uncle's old desk, but it's far more superior in terms of design. Though it sure was a hassle. It's a heavy piece of lumber that gave us a challenge to move in. And even when I was loading it with all my stuff, I still had to test it for the best optimal layout for my monitor and various gadgets. Lots of moving and re-moving. But eventually, I found the right layout! Which leads me to my next point~

    twi.png.f9a8f7839a12a89136cd0641ade8efb0.png I decided to get a wireless keyboard to give me one less headache to deal with. It's so much more liberating! It's more narrow than what I am use to, but there is a lot to get use to right now. And while I wasn't in the market for it, I also got a multi USB port hub. With an extension cord, I now have a convenient spot for it on my desk instead of having to open the cabinet drawer that houses my tower. :sweetie-squee: I am still getting organized, but conveniences like this really help. I even have a place where I can put a drawing tablet! Last of all, I even got a new microphone as an impulse buy. It's a little different from my last one, so maybe the sound will be better.

    sun.png.8ab21d7000bfb88f283da8c5e2f104cc.png But it wasn't all good news. :twilightoops: My mother hired a construction worker to help her install a new driveway, but due to a miscommunication, they tore up the wrong part of her yard. Thankfully, they were stopped before they did too much damage. The construction dude is an honest guy, so it'll get properly fixed next time, with all the details properly sorted.

    twi.png.f9a8f7839a12a89136cd0641ade8efb0.png And in recent pop culture news... I saw a trailer for Avatar: Fire and Ash. I don't know how many they are going to make, but maybe we should be glad there is a visionary that wants to keep the franchise alive. Eyes of Wakanda looks like a potentially good animated series. I am not sure what is going to be the most unexpected crossover, Sonic x Battle Cats or Jetpack Joyride x MOTU. And considering the trailers for Goat and Zootopia 2 dropped at the same time, I really want them both to take place in the same universe. :ooh:

    That's it for now, my crowd. :coolphoto: Take care, and charge up.

    After hearing people say it for so long, I think I finally found the answer. This "How Nickleback Became The Most Hated Band Ever" by SunnyV2.

      Congrats on getting your new computer equipment, but I'm sorry about your mom's yard!

      Also, nice to see a Nickelback video here! :Shades:

      @ExplosionMare

      :hug2: Thank you for replying, my friend!

      I am enjoying it, and mother will recover.
      Are you a Nickelback fan too? :sweetie-squee:

      @Samurai Equine

      You're welcome! :hug2:

      Glad to hear it! :coco:

      Yes, I'm a pretty big fan! I saw them in Nashville a few years back and it was AWESOME!!!

  15. Now I am interested. There is a difference between being a construction worker and working on a construction area. Until I get more specifics, I can't say for sure. But I might be open to the idea at least. Would you date someone who collects all kinds of power tools, despite having no carpentry/construction skills?
  16. No one knows. No one has been able to draw it perfectly yet. Which planet is flat?
  17. Trick question. Homer doesn't eat food. His diet consists of carefully measured vitamins, minerals, proteins, and more all made into a simple, edible paste. Who is Scooby-Doo's best friend?
  18. Dear Princess Flurry Heart, ...Actually, you know what? Nevermind. I just proved we all ready have a crazy problem on our hooves. Who lets a baby do princess duties? Who lets a baby read mail? And where are your parents?! Someone contact the Elements of Harmony; something has clearly gone wrong! ...And why am I still writing this?
  19. Pirates! They would hide their treasure in trees, and the only way to get them out was to hug the trees. What brand of soda is the most consumed in the world?
  20. Honestly, I am indifferent. I like both at their best, but they both can have low moments in their history. Do you believe in the concept of common sense?
