  1. So as my 6th Forumversary draws near, I have done some thinking and have come to a conclusion. After 6 years, I just don't have any motivation to watch the show or post on the Forums anymore. So tomorrow, August 23rd, 2021. I will be leaving the Fandom. Who knows, maybe I'll be back someday, but as it stands right now I just have no interest in the Fandom. 

    But before I go, I wanna just say special thanks to @Tacodidra @The Recherche @The_Gobo @DivineQueen1000 @Rikifive @EpicEnergy @Vefka @lyrabetes3939 @Kawaii Besu @Sonic Shimmer @TheRockARooster @Messy Mane @Lord Valtasar @raykv423 @Nsxile  @Gabosor @Inactive00 @Denim&Venöm @ExplosionMare @Dawnchaser 🌄 and @Trottermare Galamane 

    This group, whether they are still here or not, have really left an impression on me, whether through their friendliness, dedication, music tastes or just being everywhere. So thanks to everyone and like I said, perhaps I'll be back sometime down the road.

      Take care, Dixon.

      And thank you

      *hugs* I'm sorry to hear you're leaving, my friend. :sunny: Thanks for everything – I wish you all the best and hope to see you here again someday. :kindness:

      Sorry I haven't been around much in recent months.

      Take care and keep rockin'

      "So long and thanks for all the fish."

  2. Y'know it would be so much easier to increase content count if Forum Games counted towards the number...

     

    But then again, if that were the case @The Recherche and @The_Gobo would probably have over 10,000 posts individually at this point.

      Okay, so the first two lines I understood, but the third I can't quite grasp what you are trying to convey. Would you care to elaborate?

    3. Rikifive

      Rikifive

      You've mentioned, that reputation doesn't impact on what forum sections you can visit etc., unlike the post count. This simply points to the validation process, hence why I mentioned that.

      By 'newbie restrictions', I meant the fact, that new users need to make some activity in order to 'unlock' features of the site, such as more profile customization and sections. You said, that the post count is important and it should stay the way it is now and count only quality posts made outside of games towards that 'validation' process. Then I just expressed my opinion, that I don't really find it necessary. These 40 or 100 posts wouldn't be that quick to make even in games; it still would require some work. Actually I kinda don't find any of the restrictions necessary, except the first one (5 posts).

      So uh.. basically I wanted to say, that even the impact on accessible features coming from the post count isn't that important in my opinion. Unlocking these by playing games or talking in offtopic would be fine too I suppose. Either way, it's all about the first 100 posts only, the next ones become irrelevant.

      Sorry if it sounds confusing. It's just a not important opinion of mine anyway, so you shouldn't be bothered by it. :twi:

    4. The_Gobo

      The_Gobo

      Oh good lord, I wouldn't have THAT many.

      But I probably would be crystal pony by now lmao

       

  3. Just hit my 1100 post goal on my 4th Forumversary. When I first joined the Forums, I never thought I'd actually hit a number that high, but here we are now. I probably wouldn't still be on the Forums without all of you guys, so I'm going to give my thanks to all of the people who follow me, plus a few extras.

    So first off, 碇 シンジン, Who I can't tag due to special characters in their name. Thanks for being my first friend/follower on the Forums all those years ago.

    Next we have: @Tacodidra, @The Recherche, @Lord Valtasar, @The_Gobo. You 4 are the ones who always reply/replied to my Status Updates, thus being the ones I always seem to find myself talking to the most. So thanks for always being there, otherwise I'd just be typing to myself.

    To @Rikifive for thinking I was leaving last year on my Forumversary, because I posted in the Welcome Center. I dunno either, but thanks for the amusement.

    To @Kawaii Besu, @Messy Mane, @Gone Airbourne, @Sonic Shimmer. Thanks for having such great taste in music, and indirectly helping get my playlist to 1400 songs.

    Okay, this next one is the big section: @Anti-Villain, @Button Feri, @DivineSoul1000, @Gabosor, @Lunar Echo, @lyrabetes3939, @Nsxile, @nx9100, @Phosphor, @Storm Shine and @TheRockARooster. Thank you all for following me back when I followed you without saying a word, and sometimes barely having any interaction at all with you.

    On the opposite side of the spectrum: @GlimGlam, @creativeunicorn, @JamesBobbyDReed, @Krashface, @Christmas cheer. Thank you guys for following me without saying anything to me.

    Finally thanks to: @Cwanky, @Denim&Venom, @Trottermare Galamane, @Dawnchaser, for being genuinely cool people. I'm sorry if I missed anyone, but after 4 years and meeting thousands of users, I'm bound to miss a few.

    So with that all out of the way, to those who are still here that I mentioned, here's to another year.

      Happy four year anniversary, CPL! :mlp_grin: I am pleased to have made your acquaintance, and while I may not be terribly active any longer, I do look forward to speaking to you.

    3. Rikifive

      Happy forumversary!

      Glad to hear you had a good time here and I hope, that the next years will be even better! :blue_baloon::yay:

      Eh, if you only got up a bit ago, that's still eight hours.

      Could it have been to hot/cold/noisy or something?

      Night terrors perhaps?

      I only managed to go to sleep about 1 AM, only to wake up a little after 6.

    4. The_Gobo

      The_Gobo

      I crawled into bed sometime around 10ish.

      Woke up naturally at about 6ish.

      Rolled over and went back to sleep 'til my alarm went off lol

       

  5. I really hate how far I've fallen behind on the show. I've had no time to watch it recently, and now spoilers are starting to creep in....

    1. Show previous comments  2 more
    2. Tacodidra

      Tacodidra

      But on the bright side, you'll have a lot of nice episodes to look forward to! :D I've already seen everything myself. The spoilers are a nuisance, yeah – even I couldn't avoid them, in spite of watching everything almost immediately... :adorkable:

    3. DixonTheAdversary

      DixonTheAdversary

      Yeah you may be right, though by the time I do make it to the end of the show, I'll probably know everything that'll happen, just due to the spoiler grace period expiring.

    4. DixonTheAdversary

      DixonTheAdversary

      I just had a thought at work. How can I be sure that it was a spoiler I saw, when I can't confirm that it happened due to the fact that I haven't got to that point in the show? Not everything you see on the internet is true, so I'm going to approach this as fake until proven true.

  6. So I have finally decided to change my username, I'm not happy with it anymore. 

    I have chosen a new username, however I'm not sure on how I should have it be spelled.

    I mentioned a couple months ago I wanted a new avatar, well I'm deciding to stick with my old one. (The Adversary from The Binding of Isaac), which is going to be referenced in my new username.

    So, should I have my username spelled as: DixonTheAdversary or Dixon_The_Adversary?

    2. DixonTheAdversary

      DixonTheAdversary

      Yeah, it's probably gonna be without the underscores. I liked them when I first included them, but taking another look, it just doesn't fit well. I think that if you are gonna have underscores in your name, it should be limited to just one.

    3. EpicEnergy

      EpicEnergy

      I think having no underscores is better, but that's just my opinion. 

    4. DixonTheAdversary

      DixonTheAdversary

      So it seems the general consensus is to go without underscores, which I agree with. The change will be happening later tonight.

  7. I got so mad today that I broke a PS4 controller...

      No, it's fine. It was already broken before I broke it even more.

    3. K.Rool Addict

      K.Rool Addict

      lmao, is that why you broke it to begin with? o,o

    4. DixonTheAdversary

      DixonTheAdversary

      Well, it sort of worked, but a lot of the time the buttons would not respond. So in my rage, I decided it was time to get rid of it.

  8. Just played the first two episodes of The Walking Dead: A New Frontier. It's pretty good.

      Just look at this page if you are wondering about the game series: http://walkingdead.wikia.com/wiki/The_Walking_Dead_(Video_Game)

    3. Miss

      Miss

      I wasn't wondering about anything. I was simply asking what that was. So I'm assuming it;s a video game.

    4. DixonTheAdversary

      DixonTheAdversary

      It is a video game. It can be compared to a choose your own adventure book, as the story is tailored by how you play. (Although some choices don't make too much of an impact, even though they should).

  9. Am I the only one that doesn't really like Halloween all that much?

    2. DixonTheAdversary

      DixonTheAdversary

      I've just never really liked it. Plus, I get candy every other holiday, so it's not like I'm really losing out.

    3. Lord Valtasar

      Lord Valtasar

      we don't have Halloween where i live, so i can't exactly speak from experience, but a spooky holiday in the autumn sounds like fun

    4. Tacodidra

      Tacodidra

      I haven't really got into the tradition either... Mostly because it hasn't been one here. :derp: It's only in the last few years that Halloween has become more popular here – it wasn't celebrated that much when I was a kid, though I think I'd have loved it! :D

  10. It's good to see a new banner. It had been quite a while since there was a change.

  11. I have returned from my extended absence.

    1. The Recherche

      The Recherche

      Welcome back to the Forums, my dude~! :grin: Did you have a good time while you were away~?

    2. DixonTheAdversary

      DixonTheAdversary

      Thanks, it's good to be back. I had a fairly good time while I was away.

    3. The Recherche

      The Recherche

      That's good to hear! :grin: Hopefully you enjoy your time on the Forums once more~!

  12. Well, I guess it's time to revert back to my normal Avatar and Signature, until next year.

    1. Tacodidra

      Tacodidra

      Happy (belated) forumversary, my friend! :rarity:

    2. DixonTheAdversary

      DixonTheAdversary

      @TacodidraIt isn't belated if you already wished me a Happy Forumversary...

    3. Tacodidra

      Tacodidra

      Oops... :twismile: I guess it's something that merits more than one wish, then! :pinkie:

  13. I finally have some time to actually watch the show again, so let's hope I get back on track.

    1. Tacodidra

      Tacodidra

      Good to hear that! :) I hope you enjoy the remaining episodes – the last two seasons do have some amazing ones, if you ask me. :grin:

    2. The Recherche

      The Recherche

      Excellent! Just be sure to actually use it; I had all of the time in the world for the series as well, yet I procrastinated it entirely for a time. :mlp_please:

    3. DixonTheAdversary

      DixonTheAdversary

      I watched one episode today. I'm up by 100% on the amount of episodes I've watched the past 2 weeks.

  14. It's been one of those days...

     

    1. Tacodidra

      Tacodidra

      *hugs* :sunny: I hope you feel better soon, my friend!

    2. DixonTheAdversary

      DixonTheAdversary

      Thanks. Today was much better.

    3. Tacodidra

      Tacodidra

      That's great to hear! :kindness: *hugs*

  15. I feel like I'm getting better with making more frequent posts.

    1. The Recherche

      The Recherche

      That's good to hear! :grin: I recall you saying that you planned on becoming more active, so it seems that you've stuck to your guns.

    2. DixonTheAdversary

      DixonTheAdversary

      I've been trying to. I set a goal of a content count of 700 by the end of the year, hoping to get to it at this pace. Truthfully, I don't know how you do it. 1700 posts in 4 months is ludicrous to me.

    3. The_Gobo

      The_Gobo

      All the posts!
      :D

       

  16. Finally finished watching Season 7 for the first time.

    It's hard to believe that I was actually caught up with the show at one point... but then the second half of Season 7 came around and I had little time to actually watch and well, here we are now....

    1. Tacodidra

      Tacodidra

      I hope you enjoyed it! :yay: I only got into MLP at that time, and now I've seen almost all episodes there are going to be (just six to go)... :awed:

    2. DixonTheAdversary

      DixonTheAdversary

      Sadly, I'm probably going to have to skip the movie, as I have no actual means of watching it. I'll probably just read the transcript and jump straight into Season 8.

    3. Tacodidra

      Tacodidra

      I got the DVD a little after its release. The movie was fun, but I don't think it's as good as the best episodes of the series.

  17. UPDATE: My back is feeling much better today. Still hurts a little, but not to the extent that it was yesterday.

    1. Tacodidra

      Tacodidra

      I'm glad to hear that, my friend! :kindness: I hope the pain goes away completely tomorrow!

    2. DixonTheAdversary

      DixonTheAdversary

      Your hopes were true. No more pain!

    3. Tacodidra

      Tacodidra

      Great to hear that! :yay: Have an amazing day! :squee:

  18. 1300 posts already? Huh, if I keep going like this I'll hit my goal in no time.

    1. Pandora

      Pandora

      Go for it, lol..

      but what is your goal?

    2. DixonTheAdversary

      DixonTheAdversary

      My goal for this year is 1800. I started at 1200.

    3. Tacodidra

      Tacodidra

      Congratulations, my friend! :ticking: I'm sure you'll reach your goal! :yay:

  19. Just got my yearly haircut.

    1. The Recherche

      The Recherche

      i guess you like to grow your hair out, huh? :catface:

    2. DixonTheAdversary

      DixonTheAdversary

      Usually grow it out for the winter and once warmer weather rolls around I get it cut.

    3. The_Gobo

      The_Gobo

      I get mine cut twice a year o3o
      Buzz cut to a No.2 clipper in the sping, then a light cleanup in the summer.
      Then let it grow out through the fall and winter XD

       

  20. Glad my car decided to not start right before I needed to go to work today...

    1. Tacodidra

      Tacodidra

      *hugs* :sunny: I'm sorry to hear that, my friend! I hope you can find another way to get there. :kindness:

    2. DixonTheAdversary

      DixonTheAdversary

      Well, I posted that after I was already done working. I did get there in the end.

    3. DixonTheAdversary

      DixonTheAdversary

      Update: My car is back up and running.

  21. Wow, I didn't even realize, I hit 1000 Brohoofs. I didn't expect to see that today, I thought it'd take a week or so to hit still...

    1. Tacodidra

      Tacodidra

      Congratulations, my friend! :yay:

    2. DixonTheAdversary

      DixonTheAdversary

      I know it's a very small number compared to what you have, but for someone who isn't always that active, I think it's a huge milestone.

    3. Tacodidra

      Tacodidra

      Indeed it is! :) And it took me a while to get there too (back when I wasn't as active).

  22. Just started playing Twisted Metal again, and I am worse than I thought.

    1. Kyoshi Frost Wolf

      Kyoshi Frost Wolf

      Twisted Metal 2 and Head On are both amazing.

    2. DixonTheAdversary

      DixonTheAdversary

      Never had the chance to play Twisted Metal 2, but I have played Twisted Metal 4, Black, Lost, Head - On and 2012. They are all good games, but some are much better than others.

    3. Kyoshi Frost Wolf

      Kyoshi Frost Wolf

      Very true. 2 is a classic. :3

  23. I'm not going to be on at all from Saturday to Tuesday.

    1. EpicEnergy

      EpicEnergy

      Well then, I hope to see you Wednesday! :fluttershy:

    2. DixonTheAdversary

      DixonTheAdversary

      I guess I should've phrased that better, I'll be back on Tuesday, just not until later.

    3. Tacodidra

      Tacodidra

      See you later, my friend! :kindness: I hope your weekend goes well!

  24. I just love it when a game disc with no scratches just decides not to work anymore...

    1. Once In A Blue Moon

      Once In A Blue Moon

      I'm quite annoyed that a lot of my old game discs use a copy protection system called SafeDisc, which has been disabled on Windows 7+ due to the serious security issues it causes, rendering it unplayable.

      That means that even though I still have the disc for Black and White (and numerous other games), I can't play it any more (well, I am toying with making a virtual machine to run xp, which is the sweet spot, os-wise, for most of my games.)

    2. DixonTheAdversary

      DixonTheAdversary

      That sucks man, but I'm actually getting this problem on my PS3. Every other game I've tried works, just not that one, which used to work before...

    3. DixonTheAdversary

      DixonTheAdversary

      You know, it also doesn't help that the game that refuses to work seems to take forever to load, so when I think I've fixed it, it's more frustrating having to wait for it to load just to see it fail again...

  25. Well, I was going to start watching Season 8 today, but then I found out it was a 2 part episode. I like to watch 2-parters back to back and I really only planned on watching 1 episode tonight...

    We'll see what tomorrow brings, but who knows, it might take me 2 years to START Season 8, let alone finish it....

    1. Tacodidra

      Tacodidra

      I hope you enjoy it, my friend! :D Season 8 is definitely worth a watch! :yay:

    2. Megas

      Megas

      S8 can be pretty rough but it's good for the most part

    3. DixonTheAdversary

      DixonTheAdversary

      Okay, finally started Season 8. All I could think about through the whole 2 episodes was that the episode title shared it's name with a level from Jimmy Neutron: Attack of the Twonkies.

      This'll be the last joke I make about me taking 2 years to watch the season: I'll see you guys on August 13, 2021, when I start watching season 9!
