  1. Having so many great YouTube channels to watch now that I'll never run out of vids is definitely putting me in a good mood, gonna be hard to feel bored anytime soon
  2. I'm seriously thankful I live in a time where the internet exists, it's made such an amazing difference to my life, and I'm sure the lives of many others too ^-^
  3. Hi! What do you normally get up to in your free time?

  8. Thinking I really need to check more musical artists out sometime, there's probably countless things I'm missing out on :? I hear ya; the amount of pointless bickering and excessive aggression out there, it's no good for anyone really :/ It does make the friendlier parts of the internet even more precious however... having joined Reddit earlier this year, it came as a huge, pleasant surprise how lovely and reasonable its members can be, even in some of the more provocative subjects going on, it wasn't anywhere near as demoralizing as, say, an average YouTube video's comments section, y'know? And making sure I give those lovely sections of the internet some time, looking out for all the individuals that defy the waves towards rage, that can definitely bring a smile back to one's face Part of me takes solace in the hope that this is just the rough adolescent stage of internet maturity where people are still figuring out how to debate without swearing every other sentence, and how to deal with their anger more constructively than passing it onto someone else... obviously there's always gonna be people that fail both lessons for life, but, idk, I think people will be able to tackle stuff like this better in time.
  9. I really like how much status updates have been improved upon with brohoofs, removed character limit, being able to add images and such! Being able to view all status updates through a link on every page also helps quite a bit While I haven't seen this criticism too much, the birthday list feels a lot more inconvenient now due to listing members in alphabetical order, rather than from mostly recently active and descending... not only does this make it much easier for the average member to miss a friend's birthday unless they scroll through the list every day, it also means that members that like wishing all recently active members a happy birthday (which I know there's been a few) would have to hover over each profile pic (today, that would 48 pics), see if they've been online, then rinse and repeat ^^;
  10. Thinking I suddenly have a lot more options for what to watch than I did at the start of last month o.o;; While I may not know you, I'm sure you're far from worthless, don't worry... if you're living a good-natured life where you mean no harm, then that already makes your worth a ton higher than a lot of people out there imo. It also makes you fairly inspirational I would say; many like to be cowards and just throw their stress and negative feelings onto someone innocent for their own undeserved relief, you on the other hand seem to be dealing with them far more maturely, though feeling worthless isn't 100% preferable of course ^^; Whenever you get the opportunity, you should turn on your favourite music, get comfortable in your favourite clothes (bonus points if you can get comfy in warm bedsheets à la your avatar) and do absolutely anything you enjoy while treating yourself to the occasional snack, or even just personalize your room or whatever device you're on to your liking if you're lacking time; whatever the case, just make sure to give yourself some well-deserved 'me time'
  11. It took years of government-funded research led by thousands of expert internet addicts, but after many unrelenting days and just as many sleepless nights, they've finally made the groundbreaking discovery; that, yes, that there's more to the universe outside of news about Trump! : D And then they all immediately sent themselves to a mental hospital to recuperate from the torture they inflicted upon themselves :? ~~~ An urban farmer in New Orleans, having been there about 7 years, has in his stay built 30 community gardens which help out the needy and provide a nice place for honeybees which would otherwise be infesting other homes in the area... kinda wonder how much bigger his impact will be in several years time at this rate
  12. If you save these filters (I think you should be able to see them from this link? If not, just make 'Content Types' Topics, 'Read Status' Everything and 'Ownership' I posted in) as a stream and click the green tick, you'll have the equivalent to the recent topics I posted in list, accessible near the top of every page (it will replace the little 'Unread Content'). Until the proper version is ready, this should be able to serve the same purpose if you need it
  13. If you go to 'Unread Content' near the top of a page, apply these filters- 58dc9bfd94a98_StatusUpdates.png.919d95fd06ca96fcb9b8be202bd47790.pngand save as a stream then click the green tick, you basically get the 'View All Updates' link from before the update, except accessible from any page. Or you can change the 'Following' filter to 'Content posted by members I follow' if you only want to see status updates by friends. Another stream you could make that might be convenient is with these filters, which could serve as the equivalent to the 'threads I've replied to' list near the top of the main page before the update. There's probably a few other kinds of streams you could make that would work better for you, it might be worth a check to see if there's something which could be convenient for you.

    I've seen a few members saying they weren't sure how to get around the site after the update, so I'm sharing this just in case it helps anyone navigate around, at least until/if the regular way to see all status updates and topics you've replied to returns :)

      Unless I haven't noticed it before, it looks like a new stream has been added by default, 'New Status Updates', so I guess you wouldn't really need to make it now! I've also just noticed the default 'Content I Posted In' stream, but it looks like it will also show status updates, and probably blogs you've posted in too, so it's not quite the same as a recent topics I posted in stream.

      Not sure why I'm talking about streams so much, I like them a little too much ^_^

  14. NOOO! Not into the pit! It BUUUUUUUURNS~ You can find it here in the Everfree Forest forum~ https://mlpforums.com/forum/98-debate-pit/ However, to post in there you will need to have made 100 active posts, which you'll know you've reached once you hit parasprite rank

    Clop SECTION

    By this reasoning, would every other fandom-oriented forum disassociated with said fandom's NSFW content (because it's pretty much guaranteed any fandom with large enough an audience will produce such content, and have fans that are into it) be guilty of discrimination? Would it be impossible for, say, a forum about Pokemon to be respectable without a NSFW section within it? Are forums that are family-friendly across the board inherently discriminatory for not catering to members of their relevant fandom that are into its mature content? I certainly agree with you that there's nothing immoral about cloppers, or their equivalents in other fandoms either, but I also can't see anything unethical, or even close to discriminatory about a forum choosing not to cater to mature tastes... if a forum can do that and pull it off successfully, that's pretty great for them, but it's not the easiest, most risk-free change, there are valid concerns forums can have that stop or even disinterest them in expanding in such a way. As such, I just simply can't see any intrinsic ill-intent in a forum that tries to cater to its members as much as possible but draws the line at content not thought appropriate for it after some contemplation (and from the looks, tons of contemplation has, and still is being put into it).
  16. A Kansas man donated 32 gallons of blood in his lifetime thus far, can't imagine how many lives he's saved and impacted on
  17. Whenever I go to the park lately, I try my best to get rid of any trash I find lying around; feel a lot more comfortable doing this now than I did at first, though the occasional can on the ground when other people are right nearby, I still need to get a bit more confident dealing with in time >.< As for kindness back at me, some friendly old lady wished me good morning and a happy 'Jesus loves you' when I was walking back from there two days ago, not something I had really experienced all that often in the past ^-^
  18. I'm grateful someone very close to me seems to be pretty happy now after a rough start to their day; the next few days will be challenging for them too, but them handling things extremely well thus far gives me hope they'll get through it okay ^-^
  19. Getting to watch a fun stream live for once was a lovely experience, even if I didn't really participate in chat

    Clop SECTION

    Every fandom has its members that are into the mature content said fandom provides, by your reasoning every fandom-oriented forum would be required to cater for these interests, which really should be the choice of the staff running each forum. if they want to keep things PG 13 across the board, that's cool. If they want to provide the equivalent to a clop section, that's also cool. For as long as I've known (and apparently beyond), the staff here seem far more inclined towards the former, so a clop section seems kinda unlikely; honestly, a clop thread (or its equivalent in other fandoms) is more than I've seen quite a few other forums do, even ones revolved around less kid-friendly shows/games etc. Which isn't to say a clop section would be bad or unrealistic, I'm sure that would be a lovely addition for a lot of people! But I also don't think anyone part of any forum staff would be doing anything wrong by deciding content like that doesn't have a place in the sort of community they're trying to maintain, just as a clop forum shouldn't be put under pressure if they aren't interested in making a child-friendly section. I'm very sure the staff here know the clopping subgroup in the fandom is still part of the fandom, and treat cloppers just the same as any other member or person they meet; they are not obligated to make space for their interests or for all the interests in the fandom they feel goes against the focus and core audience of these forums however
  21. Really nice to see this place freshen itself up like this! Seeing as the missing features just need some extra time and there's nice receptiveness to feedback from the start, I have faith any sour first impressions will soften up in time, especially as familiarity develops. The buffs to status updates are probably my favourite changes so far; not sure how to describe it but, brohoofing them and comments feels very nice, it's a happy improvement. Looking forward to lurking here some more!
  22. This is definitely a pretty nice start, I remember taking a surprisingly long while getting the proportions correct my first (and only) time making fan art, so I can appreciate how much accuracy you've achieved with these first few attempts! Keep it up and see what you can build on in time, you've got great art to come if this is how promising your beginning is
  23. Geez, your art has improved a ton since I last saw it, and it was still pretty nice back then... speaking as someone with a very unsteady drawing hand, I really admire how smooth your lines and curves are getting, accurate curves especially can be kinda hard to master in my experience, however limited said experience may be. Your way of coloring is lovely as well, definitely helps bring some extra life to the drawing! I hope you're proud with how you've developed your skills over time, I certainly would be if I were you
  24. Happy birthday! Hope you have a very happy time :D
