Heh, I just might. Nothing to lose but my dignity, eh?

Gotcha. Is there a quick way to tell which threads allow for such characters, or check them out one by one?

Sorry if this is the wrong section or a dumb question, but are there any overall rules regarding humans in Equestria, being either from this Earth or alternate ones? Are there any casual/social threads that involve them?

Did you have concept sketches or anything beforehand? Or was this a strictly a zero-to-sixty thing? Because if it's the latter, daaaaaang!

I quite like Capaldi, AKA Crotchety Who. Too bad his episodes are kind of meh...

I was wondering if someone remembers or can help me track down a fanfic I once read. It's a fairly old one, I'd say probably dating back to late 2011/early 2012. It's not called "Observations of ponies on Lyr", because I've searched for that, but might be something similar. The premise is a bit of an oddball one. The mane six get abducted by aliens and transported to another planet to see how they behave in a different environment. The story is written from the perspective of one of the alien researchers, in the form of personal {and frequently frustrated} reports, complete with the occasional diagram and notes on the margins. The things also get complicated in Equestria where the aliens {masquerading as ponies} responsible for covering up the abduction find themselves over their heads. Does this ring a bell for anyone?

This comes readily to mind. https://www.youtube.com/embed/K-kYiDbG39s {how do I YouTube embed?} Also, I wanted more Samurai Jack.

Well, I'm using an Insider {read, free beta testers'} version of W10 and there's things I like, and things I don't like. It's definitely a step back from the cliff Windows 8 balanced itself on, and I found that the things I thought I really wanted to keep I didn't actually use, even when I had them. The Metro interface died in a well-deserved fire, and everything is back to desktop mode. The tile/start menu mix is nice, although I'm hitting a bunch of bugs there. Then again, beta version. One thing that bugs me the daylights out of me is the lack of personalization - you can use themes, and set overall colors, but there's no way to manually pick and choose colors for each UI interface or even a Windows Classic theme. Bright white is not my thing. Haven't used Cortana yet, but the search function is nice. It uses Seamonkey, my default browser, rather than hardcoding for Edge, which is nice, but I'd like to use other search engines rather than Bing to search.

Thanks for all the cheer, guys and/or gals! Any tips on where to head to first? I still have to catch up on the last season, I last saw Griffonstone. Any cool news? Big events? I'll probably lurk more than post until I feel comfortable jumping into conversations. Oh, also, how's the roleplaying section work? Any rules, other than the common courtesy ones?

My Favourite Mane 6 Pony: Applejack How did you find MLP Forums?: I don't remember? How you became a fan of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic: I watched a few episodes, things went from there. Hello, everyone! My name is Quinch and I'm new here, as you can probably tell. So, a little about myself, I guess. I first heard of Friendship is Magic back when I frequented the MSPA forums, though at the time I had absolutely no idea why My Little Pony was something even worth mentioning {I chalked it up to irony}. It was only after starting to see a lot of PMVs and footage on random YouTube trawlings that I got interested enough to see a random episode, which turned out to be Dressed For Success. I... really didn't like it. It wasn't bad by any measure, but it struck me as something that I couldn't find myself caring much for. It was only after seeing a certain pony music video {this one, particularly} that I decided to give it another try, and this time started watching the show from the beginning. By that point the first season just wrapped up, and we were waiting for the second one. It was sort of the inception of the fandom, even though I wasn't really there for it, but the thing that really caught my attention was that it was, well, nice without being vapid. I bummed around a bit, wrote a bit of fanfiction and eventually settled down at Ponychan's roleplaying community. That lasted for a couple of years until the roleplay sort of died down, at which point I hung around /chat/ and then /oat/ once that got merged together. After Ponychan merged with MLPchan, I decided to distance myself from the fandom, just to see whether I still really cared about MLP or if I just stuck around out of inertia. So, a few months later... Here I am!
