Wow, I had no idea that this thread would get so many replies.... I've been off here... and I basically just posted this thread to vent to myself about how bad EquestriaForums is... and I've found out that I am not alone. And it is for the same reasons as people are talking about, about other forums. mods, popular users, and arbitrary pummelling of new people who don't fit into their clique and tow the party line. For example, just a few days ago... someone from South Africa was mentioning South Africa. I asked the person if they knew that Tabitha St. Germain has lived in South Africa... and their reply was. (I also asked her about Shartlo Copley, first, so that is why Tabitha St. Germain is "that second person") And I don't know that second person you cited so I don't really care My reply was: PokePony, you appear to be a totally fluent English speaker...do you watch My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic in English without much need for subtitles for some other language? In a situation where you are hearing the English-language voices? Because if so... well, I've been looking for a proper reaction image to post... something with a "nope" or some sort of gradual zoom in to the face thing of bafflement... but I'll just say it. I am offended that you don't know who Tabitha St. Germain is, especially if you watch this show in English. And that you didn't just quick look her name up before posting your message, if you were able to search it. I am offended. And then the community just got all defensive: ... Or you could just helpfully say that she's Rarity's voice actress and leave the patronising "how don't you know this, you appear to speak English?" attitude at the door. Why would you be offended by it? I honestly can't figure out if you're joking or not but if you are then it's not especially amusing. PokePony ended up replying: 0, the amount of care I give o/ Then I replied: "So, uh why didn't you just look Tabitha St. Germain up? She has lived in South Africa, I find that interesting! So... I wonder what dubs there are for MLPFiM that are like Afrikaans or Dutch... I'm considering looking it up. Are you familiar with the movie District 9?" she replied: "because I dont cate about the subject and cant be bothered about it. also why would I care about afrikaans dub? and yeah I saw that once and didnt like it. I truly wonder why you are talking about all these." ... She somehow could not take the scant few seconds to look up the name Tabitha St. Germain, but was able to post her intitial message. or actually pay attention, then she would know why I was mentioning the possibility of non-English dubs. it is one thing to be totally ignorant of the names of the major voice actors when you are a big enough fan of a super-popular, very devoted fandom cartoon to frequesnt a forum on it. It is another thing entirely to just blow someone off and not even be vaguely curious when someone asks you if they know if someone has lived in their home country before, you don't even have the common decency to look that person's name up or politely ask??? You just say, durr hurr, I don't care? ... I decided to initially not mention who Tabitha St. Germain is, because, she did not care to look the name up herself, and because I wanted her to figure it out or herself. I did not want to spoon-feed that answer. ... so yeah, that may seem like a long-winded rant over not much... but the reaction about how people somehow made me out to be this "patronising" person is just... just so typical of EquestriaForums... and I am not the only person who notices this.

This subject is of course about other forums, not this one. Over the years, or even recently, what has your experience been on being a part of smaller forum communities? ... like, for example, does anyone here have a personal history of running into trouble, or getting frustrated with people, or the opposite happening? How many other forums are you a part of? Again, I am talking about other forums, not this one. I have experience in this. In fact, I may be coming back to this forum after personal experiences elsewhere in the MLPFiM fandom and after finding more and more insight concerning conduct elsewhere. When I say "small forum", I generally mean something that is small enough where you can get a familiarity with several people, and it is possible for people to get to know each other. Massively vast things like 4chan.... and maybe Gaia Online, and also kind of large things like GameFAQs, those are places that I consider to be big, and the mindset can be harder to narrow down.

I just did that a few minutes ago! Just so happened to see that someone named Gamer Luna posted that they came back to EqF after leaving because "grumpy got banned"I only joined the forums in January of this year, but had recalled seeing alot of posts by someone named Grumpy Enchantress. Now realize that those are only old posts. I suspected that she may have been banned for bullshit reasons, because I am being Watched as of today. (It is for responding to a string of posts talking about ice cream, most all of the posts made by male members, with the post "It sounds like everyone here is on their period.)

You should know, your only viable defense could be that you are a 13-year-old person from ireland, and may have less of an archive of movie-viewing experience than most other members of this forum. She looks much more like, like, well some aspects of Christina Ricci from the 1995 movie Casper, well. if you iognore than Ricci's lips in thee, are small and light. I am also getting a girl-student from Harry Potter vibe here, a Hogwarts chic vibe. But defnitely not the type of girl that would just be bland like Ginny. Yeah, I'm not a ginny hater, but Bonnie Wright kinda had little emotion and was dull in that role. I do like the name Bonnie tho. Ew, Jokuc, that brohoof seems bad in retrospect, since the whole comment hurts her feelings. Yeah, she is way too young to be compared to Annie Wilkes, and not the same vibe.

The first thing that springs to my mind, because this topic is called, "If there is a heaven, what and who would be in it?" is that transgender people should be/are allowed in.

I thought that's what you were talking about in your previous status update! I was thinking, Mad Cow Disease?

Snow still there as of April 11th? Even for a place in Colorado, that snow is hanging around there!
