Out of my entire friend group, I feel like I'm the only one who still has that inner joy and passion for the things I've loved as a kid. I still enjoy playing with Legos, drawing comics, or playing old games on my Wii. Maybe it's just nostalgia pulling me back. 

Only drawback to this is that there's no one to share the excitement with me over these things anymore. Seems like everyone has moved on. 

Oh boy, I've probably had multiple topics locked or outright discombobulated back when I was a wee lad that had 2 braincells fighting for third place. I still feel bad for all the times Jeric had to put up with me. 

At this point, it's mostly out of nostalgia for the community and seeing familiar usernames I used to banter with years back. It seems a lot more laid back and chill now, so that's something up my alley anyway. 

Lately, I've preferred to wear baggy clothing for casual outings or gym sessions. However, I still tend to to keep it slim with formal clothing sets/styles whenever I go somewhere fancy or at church. 

My brother and I hit the gym four to five days a week for about two hours each. (You're not doing it right if you can't walk the next day) 

I either dress in gym rat attire or try to put together interesting combinations with fancier articles of clothing. There's no in-between. 

It usually depends. I honestly prefer physical media and tend to consume my shows or anime pretty quickly that way. 

My brother and I used to just binge them all the time online but it's gotten harder to do that nowadays due to our tastes drifting apart (curse ye adulthood). 

Out in public, I definitely prefer eating with a friend or family. Everyone seems to be in a pair when I go out to eat and I end up just staying on my phone while chowing down on a burger or tacos. 

At home, I tend to eat by myself while reading a book or watching a YouTube playthrough. Helps me forget about work and school. 

Being that it's Rainbow Dash, she could either be the best or worst spotter at the gym, and honestly I like those odds (she's gonna force me to enjoy cardio and leg days). 

I was 7 years old when they started airing season 1 on Saturday mornings (I believe it was on "The Hub"... God bless them for introducing me to the masterpiece) 

I can't recall where I stopped since it's been several years... I've tried watching as much as I could up until season 5, and from there it was mostly just a few episodes here and there. I once downloaded and watched the entirety of season 1 with the intent to finish the rest but never got around to it... maybe 2025 is the year I finally crusade my way through the entire show. 

The worst professor I've had the immense displeasure of having was my statistics teacher in college who not only had the worst accent to understand during lectures (he was Chinese), but also was needlessly unfair and unforgiving. You missed attendance three times? Automatic fail. You're struggling to understand his awful teaching? Good luck on the exams that are worth 80% of your grade. Dude wouldn't even let me miss class once when I told him I had to help my parents move. 

My other professors weren't as bad, but by the end of the semester I realized that ChatGPT could've taught me more effectively than them. Some people should simply be barred from teaching 

I'll finally be graduating from college this spring and plan to tour Europe with my younger brother. Who knows, maybe I'll be able to watch the 24 hours of Le Mans live in France 

I probably wouldn't go older than the 90s... mostly because cars from that era and beyond don't really attract me all too much design-wise. That being said, I wouldn't think twice about getting a 1990 - 94 Honda NSX. The JDM masterpiece will forever remain timeless in my heart. Plus it's reliable so I could daily it. 

For those familiar with Sui Ishida (author of Tokyo Ghoul), he had an art exhibition a few years back in Japan showcasing some of his best artworks from Tokyo Ghoul and Jack Jeanne (otome game created by him). These masterpieces were compiled in a really nice book which I was able to snag brand new directly from Japan. My wallet is crying since these are rare, but it was worth every penny. 

Do ya ever put in a lot of effort in texting a person or friend and they can't seem to put in half as much interest when responding back? 

Funny enough, I kinda forgot this place existed (shame on me) after my last activity streak in early 2022. With college and work taking up most of my time, I found myself cherishing moments with family and friends more, thus limiting my exposure and activity in online spaces. 

However, I recently had more free time than usual and decided to draw some ponies... browsed through some reference art for Rarity when lo and behold, one of them linked to the forums... and now I'm back on the best corner of the internet. 

A warm boop to the few awesome ponies and friends I still remember fondly on here 

It's great to see you all active and thriving

Getting to work in the digital aspect of Healthcare has been a pleasant experience that introduced me to a lot more functions than run in the background of a hospital. Your doctors and nurses wouldn't be able to operate without us. 

Coming back to this place after several years really was a big reality check that not everything... or friendships, last forever. Saw a few familiar faces, some gone for good, others stopping by here and there. It almost feels like that one friend you made on Minecraft who promised to play again next week (and they proceed to disappear off the internet).

I suppose everyone moved on at some point or another and pursued other interests, especially when G4 concluded. Whatever happens, moments like these will always remain memorable to us when looking back. 

Nah. That kills your gainz and you won't be able to join the 1000lb club like Bulk Biceps here. 

This little filly was 13... now pushing 22. The years have gone by way too fast. 

Until the end of time... you can never get rid of the brony within you 

Like several other members pointed out, I think the only thing that will turn me off, including many others, is if the writers try to connect it in any shape or form to the G4 show. The differences, both visually and methodically, are too vast to seamlessly connect the two shows/styles. While the new MLP direction isn't my cup of tea, I agree that G5 should be its own thing while G4 remains its own. 

Only one... who isn't a brony now as we speak
