@Twilight Sparkle ✨ Was MLPForums created specifically for G4 FIM?
Now when G5 is getting closer to becoming a thing, it would be nice to know, since I am a MLP fan for before G4, but I chose to be here for G4 specifically.
I was looking at G4 from a Brony perspective. Most people that found MLP because of G4 don't really watch the older generations or collect old toys. They are really G4 fans. To me, this very forum allowed people from around the world to join the Bronies, so to speak. But it also allowed people to like the older generations without being questioned for it.
I will totally understand if the future of this forum follows the newest generation. It is just good to know what the plan was from the very beginning.

I can confirm that MLP Forums was started as a G4-specific fan site. Fans of older generations have always been welcome here as well although G4 remains the site's primary focus even today. But times change and it's too soon to decide whether we'll embrace G5 as a site, ignore it, or something in between.
It's entirely possible that G5 will appeal to largely the same crowd that G4 did and that the result will be that MLPF becomes a place with strong loyalties to both generations. G5 isn't an "upgrade" the way a new phone you buy might be; I don't see it making G4 obsolete even if it ends up "stealing" its limelight.

@Twilight Sparkle ✨ I think that no matter what, it’s important to keep G4’s spirit alive, even if G5 turns out to be amazing.
