  1. As of October 2023, Pony Life is no longer on Discovery Family, with LPS: A World of Our Own, then Looney Tunes taking its place. Moreover, Hulu also removed the show in April 2023, leaving only Season 9 of Friendship is Magic still streaming there. And with Hasbro still refusing to leave Discovery Family, what can Pony Life fans do now?
  2. Recently, we've seen old Warner Bros. cartoons appearing on Discovery Family, about a year after WBD was founded. But even during this era, Hasbro is still trying to force and shove their shows into the channel's schedule, like they did with The Adventures of Chuck and Friends and Littlest Pet Shop: A World of Our Own. And now, where Pony Life and World of Our Own used to be, Looney Tunes is now taking the 1PM timeslot on weekdays. Under this situation, I'm sensing a war between the two companies over the channel, where's it all: "Hasbro, you're giving us a hard time adding WB cartoons to our channel. You must leave at once immediately and find a new home. Besides, you're causing worldwide censorship to some of your own shows." "NO!!! WE DEMAND ANOTHER 3 MORE YEARS WITH YOU!! WE REFUSE TO LEAVE EVEN IF IT MEANS ALL CABLE AND NO STREAMING!!"
  3. With Hasbro Studios is still refusing to leave Discovery Family, here's the current stats of its shows' availabilities on streaming that I could find: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic - Netflix (seasons 1-4), N/A (season 5-8), Hulu (season 9) Pound Puppies - Tubi The Adventures of Chuck and Friends - Tubi G.I. Joe: Renegades - Tubi Transformers: Prime - Netflix (season 1), Tubi (seasons 2-3) Transformers: Rescue Bots - Netflix (season 1), KiDoodleTV (season 2), N/A (seasons 3-4) Kaijudo: Rise/Clash of the Duel Masters - N/A Littlest Pet Shop - Tubi Blazing Team: Masters of Yo Kwon Do - N/A Transformers: Prime Wars Trilogy - N/A Hanazuki: Full of Treasures - N/A (formerly on YouTube) Littlest Pet Shop: A World of Our Own - N/A Transformers: Rescue Bots Academy - Netflix (season 1), N/A (season 2) My Little Pony: Pony Life - N/A Chomp Squad - N/A Taylor Swift: Journey to Fearless - N/A Hubworld - N/A Clue - Tubi Family Game Night - N/A Pictureka! - Tubi The Game of Life - N/A Scrabble Showdown - N/A Transformers Prime Beast Hunters: Predacons Rising - N/A (formerly on Netflix; removed way back in 2018) My Little Pony G3 - Hulu All Equestria Girls films and specials - KiDoodleTV That's right, more than half of everything made by Hasbro Studios is unavailable anywhere at this time.
  4. Over the past year, Discovery Family has gradually pushed MLP from weekends to weekdays. In fact, here's the broadcast times of such content from the time when Pony Life ended to the present day. On weekdays: 4/12/21 - 5/31/22: 2:30 to 5:00 PM (Pony Life aired first, then Friendship is Magic at 3:00 PM) 6/1 - 7/29/22: 10:00 to 11:00 AM and 2:30 to 5:00 PM (weekday morning reruns of just one season began here) 8/1/22 - 9/29/23: 10:00 to 11:00 AM and 1:00 to 4:00 PM (in August 2022, Discovery Family reduced daytime children's programming to 10 hours every weekday, but MLP increased by 30 minutes) 10/2/23 - present: 10:00 to 11:00 AM and 1:30 to 4:00 PM (Pony Life removed from the channel) On weekends: 4/17 - 12/19/21: 10:30 AM to 1:30 PM on Saturdays, 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM on Sundays 1/2 - 3/27/22: 10:30 AM to 1:30 PM on Saturdays, 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM on Sundays (for only three months, there were four reruns of Season 9 on each Sunday) 6/5 - 7/31/22: 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM (9:30 to 11:00 AM on Saturdays in June) 8/6/22 - 2/12/23: 11:30 AM to 2:00 PM 2/18 - 4/30/23: 12:00 to 2:00 PM (Pony Life weekend reruns ended after April 2023) 5/6/23 - present: 12:30 to 2:00 PM (however, this did not stop DF from continuing to air movies, so sometimes, the show doesn't air at all on a weekend day)
  5. By the looks of it, it's assumed that My Little Pony: Rainbow Roadtrip is currently forbidden in some Western European countries, such as France, Germany and Italy. However, all three are usually much, much, much more lenient on censorship than the rest of the world, especially the United States. According to Wikipedia, La Commission de classification cinématographique can actually ban films but cannot make cuts to them, although the latter power is rarely used, and in Italy, it is not possible to block the release of a new film or demand edits for any reason. But really, how could at least three usually lenient countries do such an extremely rare, yet horrendously cruel thing to the MLP fans about a 100% kid-friendly film? This is far much worse than the way Onward, Lightyear and Strange World faced censorship themselves in Middle East countries. On a side note, everything G3 was released in France, Germany and Italy, and there are absolutely no other unreleased American animated cartoons in any of those three countries, at least that I know of.
  6. I really cannot choose just one, since I am a HUGE Disney fan, always subscribing to Disney+. But if I had to, I'd choose Toy Story, since I grew up with that as a kid.
  7. I just found out today, all of the Equestria Girls films and specials are now on Kidoodle TV. https://kidoodle.tv/search?q=my little pony
  8. Everything G5 is only available on Netflix. Netflix is banned in Russia, despite the series being dubbed in Russian. VPNs are also gradually illegal in Russia. So what can Russian fans do?
  9. By the looks of what's happening now, it seems like Discovery Family is trying to take all the broadcasting and licensing rights for everything Friendship is Magic, Pony Life and Equestria Girls for themselves, despite cord cutting and streaming services now being the norm. In case you didn't know, all the My Little Pony G4 episodes, specials and films (except Pony Life, which was recently replaced by Littlest Pet Shop: A World of Our Own) have returned on the air as of July 2023 after not airing for a long time, depending on the season. Also, the Happy Birthday to You! video is one of only 4 out of all 15 to be removed from Netflix in 2021, probably because Hasbro ordered them to do so. This in turn is destroying our chance of seeing this generation on streaming. I don't care about the company... [quote]Comp: ...milking as much revenue as it can for G4 toys and products as they continue to sell them for the foreseeable future.[/quote] If it keeps staying that way, Generation 4, Equestria Girls and Pony Life all may end up banned from streaming forever, and that isn't good.
  10. In the last couple of weeks, we lost two celebrities: Bob Barker and Steve Harwell. Bob Barker was the previous host of The Price is Right, for 35 years. Steve Harwell was the frontman of the band Smash Mouth. Anything to say about these two celebrities?
  11. Not to mention that several of Hasbro's shows (including My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic) are all now the oldest programs still airing on Discovery Family.
  12. Here are all the streaming availabilities of all generations of My Little Pony as of September 2023: G1: Tubi, Pluto TV, Ketchup TV G1 (My Little Pony Tales): Tubi, Pluto TV, Ketchup TV G3: The Roku Channel, Tubi ("A Charming Birthday" only), Pluto TV, Ketchup TV (as "Season 999"), Hulu (only the 44-minute specials) G4 Seasons 1-2: Netflix G4 Seasons 3-4: Netflix, The Roku Channel G4 Seasons 5-8: NONE G4 Season 9: Hulu EG films 1-2: Pluto TV Rest of the entire EG series: NONE Best Gift Ever: NONE Rainbow Roadtrip: The Roku Channel, Pluto TV Pony Life: NONE G5: Netflix By the way, G4 Season 5 is also available on Netflix in some Central European countries, while most of the rest of the world only gets Season 1. Also for most non-English speaking countries, I didn't find any other streaming services besides Netflix where Friendship is Magic, Pony Life, or any of the Equestria Girls movies or specials are available today, so I guess it's completely hopeless for these regions.
  13. "Hasbro, Inc. ("Hasbro") has the right to put the entirety of its remaining 40% interest in Discovery Family to Discovery at any time during the one-year period beginning December 31, 2021, or in the event a Discovery performance obligation related to Discovery Family is not met. Embedded in the redeemable noncontrolling interest is also a Discovery call right that is exercisable for one year after December 31, 2021. Upon the exercise of the put or call options, the price to be paid for the redeemable noncontrolling interest is a function of the then-current fair market value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest, to which certain discounts and floor values may apply in specified situations depending upon the party exercising the put or call and the basis for the exercise of the put or call." But then early in 2022, after the license was supposed to expire, but apparently, did not... "Toy maker Hasbro is “evaluating” whether to offload its 40 percent stake in Discovery Family Channel. Hasbro CFO Deborah Thomas, as she discussed the future of the Discovery Family Channel stake during an analyst call, pointed to the impact of accelerating changes in the cable distribution industry, including a decline in linear TV subscribers. As more TV viewers migrate to streaming platforms and other digital alternatives, Thomas pointed to a possible sale or another strategic alternative for the Discovery Family Channel stake." Then another year later... "In connection with the amendment, the Company and Discovery entered into an option agreement related to the Company's remaining 40% ownership in the Network, initially exercisable during the one-year period following December 31, 2021. During 2022, the Company and Discovery agreed to extend the option exercise window to March 31, 2025." Why did Hasbro make this unusual decision, and how does it affect the MLP fans?

  14. Hey guys, I only came back for a short visit just to show you guys something that must be dealt with. According to the podcast "YouTube Duplicate Content vs. Repeatable Content", we know that YouTube doesn't allow two versions of the same video uploaded onto the same channel. Despite that, I found at least TWENTY videos from one SINGLE channel that are continuously violating this rule. By the looks of it, the exact same copies of TEN videos from this one channel were uploaded at least TWICE, all of them deliberately overriding YouTube's policy, which is equal to TEN SEVERE VIOLATIONS on YouTube! I don't know why this channel keeps on doing this, but I am absolutely positive this is beyond illegal. As additional proof, I also have all the links to all 20 videos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cBraz1PFIA ("Twilight Sparkle's Crown Gets Stolen", 11/17/20) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5pQCILbILE ("Twilight Sparkle's Crown Gets Stolen", 1/15/21) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lT-vj1R9Bp8 ("Time to Come Together", 12/28/20) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nE7Pz5kH5s ("Time to Come Together", 5/6/21) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DInDBjN6eZQ ("Battle", 1/5/21) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CP9uKGHPIJ0 ("Battle", 2/1/22) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjqiHqS6EYU ("Light of Your Cutie Mark", 1/12/21) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCPtyC1s8-4 ("Light of Your Cutie Mark", 11/20/21) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_ARyJhKmxk ("Tricks Up My Sleeve", 2/2/21) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIRFUhhAntk ("Tricks Up My Sleeve", 6/17/21) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SSE1lSErrc ("Putting Your Hoof Down", 2/5/21) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQx1O65ApgA ("Putting Your Hoof Down", 6/19/21) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jw1AlBtiZw4 ("Lost and Found", 2/6/21) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ot3x4_w8rqY ("Lost and Found", 6/15/21) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9mBSk_fVIw ("I'm NOT Twilight Sparkle", 2/11/21) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBK0GAl2BtE ("I'm NOT Twilight Sparkle", 7/15/21) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rw1Ix8H11QA ("The Ending of the End", 2/18/21) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9dm-9_VHZM ("The Ending of the End", 7/29/21) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fazjZsVzafQ ("Under Our Spell", 3/6/21) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPqDx1-IT_0 ("Under Our Spell", 6/21/21) What can we do to stop this channel from continuing this unlawful activity? I don't care what kind of channel it is, be it a kids' channel or whatever; exact same videos on same channels are equally illegal. By the way, I posted the topic here since I believe the subject of it focuses on YouTube rather than My Little Pony itself.
  15. Please disable my account permanently from this forum. I am no longer interested in any further My Little Pony content, and I also want to move on with my personal life.

    Thank you for all the good times I had on the MLP forum. I enjoyed being here, and I will miss you all.

  16. Well, this is it. Today's my last day of staying on these forums. By the end of today, I am officially leaving them permanently. If you want, today's your last chance of saying goodbye. Yet once again, thank you for all the fun and good times I had here. I will miss you all.
