I don't remember if I replied to this in the past but it was due to my last experiences with forums back in the day and my new found love for ponies. 

To me it's quite shrimple. Nostalgia and community. There was a lot more of a community when the fandom was younger. It's kind of in a rough state now. Sure there are quite a few people around and especially those younger who haven't engaged with the fandom for over a decade like myself.

I would like a reboot and to experience watching an episode of a show together with many people again like I did when I was growing up, but if that doesn't happen then that's okay. I still have the memories

This thread is incredibly old but technically my posting rank is Griffon. My actual rank is "retired staff"

I'm not sure what you mean by "talking habits" but I just don't like talking to people I don't know.

I use firefox which I've modified with addons and extensions and whatever, but I really just don't care for chrome anymore.

Ah yes, I remember GeneralDireciton. Even though I don't know you much on a personal level I'm glad you've been doing a great job with Roleplay moderation. Congratulations!

BPD can have crossover symptoms with other disorders like Autism, OCD and ADHD as well. And that’s so true. I’ve seen so much hate for people with BPD and it’s sad but when I look at it from their perspective I totally get it. They might not have the awareness of what it’s like to have this disorder and know that the things we do and say are coming from a place of fear usually. But I suppose the same thing can be said about other personality disorders more villainized such as ASPD (anti social personality disorder) and NPD (narcissistic personality disorder). The best thing for people like me to do is to ignore the hate but also take accountability for ourselves (as adults) because I’d be a liar if I said I didn’t do some horrible stuff because of my inability to regulate my emotions and control myself *sigh* it’s TOUGH

I would love to see a mental health disorders destigmatized especially ones that are portrayed as being "evil" or "makes you a bad person". As I know of, I have ADHD, OCD and Tourette's. I have never been tested for autism but I'm fairly sure I have that too so I really do empathize. I think I had elements of ASPD back when I was younger too.

Hello Archer and welcome to the forums. As an old head here, it's a very friends place and you should fit right in here!

*insert she's literally me here*

I relate heavily to Starlight to an uncanny degree. I have never been diagnosed in having BPD but I've had symptoms similar to it for years at least since 2020. A thing I've noticed with people who have BPD that a lot of people heavily villianize them for their behaviors since they're maladjusted.

That's a good new year's resolution to make, actually. I should've thought of that one, I do try to be nice or refrain from negativity but I don't get it right all the time. However being in a community like this is a huge step in the right direction, in that it is slowly influencing me to let go of political arguments. It's a work in progress, but in time I think I will get there. The friendship lessons of MLP FIM won't be lived by everyone on the planet, but not holding grudges or retaliating is a good way to process our emotions in a healthy way.

I'm glad you've been getting into a community that is a lot more hospitable. I haven't been a great pony for awhile due to a lot of problems and trauma I have had unaddressed for years. You would be surprised how much a difference kindness to people even if they don't like you or you don't like them can make. Political arguments especially in the media environment are especially bad for people who aren't mentally well off to begin with due to how the media sets ponies up to be filled with rage and hate others based on a broad characteristic of their kind.

I've seen Astralshy around the times I've been lurking for the past few years while I haven't been active, so 8/10.

The only cultural significant place G4 still has is in China. Sadly, the west is behind with that. I would like to see a reboot or maybe even a new series with new characters for G6. I would like to see a return to the cultural significance that ponies had in the early 2010's again but for the new generation and people who grew up on g4 like myself.

To be honest, completely get off social media which I've already done to block out the culture of people being incredibly aggressive and hating anyone possible.

Also to be much nicer of a person, stop having any form of hatred in my mind because it does no good for me. Be a lot more kind to people in general and get some mental health help with therapy.

That is SUCH a cute name! 

I was what... 14 when I made that? So not very surprising

I am almost 100% certain that I've seen your name somewhere around before.

Anyways, Welcome to the forums.

My old account from 2013 is marked as a "guest account" right now so I doubt it still exists as I guess it was deleted.

The account name was "DJ Hydrolicious" when I was a kid.

I have come back in a vengeance

Congrats @Cash In, I'm glad to see that you're a Moderator since the last time I've seen you

Wow, I remember being here a very very long time ago. Glad to see that it's still lively. Hope for another 10 years

Revive old threads and make dumb comments

That's what we call necroing, clawdeen

At the current moment, no.

I did a little while ago with my now ex (due to mental health reasons) but that's pretty much it

Maybe I'll be sad but I do have a feeling there is going to be a reboot some day perhaps?

It would be silly of them not to reboot it

For those of you who don't like G5, would you like it if Hasbro brought back MLP: FiM for another season?

A reboot is possible but I doubt it will be any time soon unless we are surprised.
