Not to burst your bubble, but I've seen plenty of forums that display user's birthday's c:

 

I see multitudes of brohoofs in your near future.

 

 

By the stars that a lot of letters!

 

I feel the need to punch a moderator in the face.

Well shit, this took ALOT of my time.

Well, /enter cheesy happy go lucky mode

***BEWARE, LONG WALL OF TEXT INCOMING, HIDE YOUR FILLIES***

Let's start off with the site overall.

I joined here on August 8th, 2012, 9:00 PM roughly. Today is September 13th, 6:00 PM (or 14th, wherever you are). I have made 1,411 posts since then. Now you may be wondering, what was the point of posting that?

Well, simple.

My post count shows how much I love this forum. On another popular forum I go on occasionally, I have about 700 posts. I have been there since November of 2011. I have never, and I mean NEVER, been so active on a forum before. The reason? Most forums are mediocre. I only go there for suggestions or help on a certain topic. Never once have I actually joined for the actual community, even less the staff of the forum.

This time, it was different.

For some reason, I felt a certain something about this specific forum a few days after joining. In my first night, I was welcomed by a decent amount of members, which made me feel happy inside . Then, I joined the GCT (which is now the RCT). That was the most fun I have ever had on the internet. The members were, when I started out in that thread (and still are), extremely nice and supportive, while still keeping a humorous idea for the thread. The other threads, in general, are awesome too. Most people here have something interesting to say and it really makes my nights more fun to have conversations and friendly arguments with other members in this forum.

Now, the forum layout. This is one of the first things that caught my eye:

Yes. Seriously. I don't know about you, but I never come across forums that post each member's birthdays (and trust me, I go on LOTS of forums). IMO this shows the care we have for each member, and usually, if they are still active, there are always birthday wishes from all kinds of members, regardless if you know the birthday boy/girl personally or not.

The actual forum layout is amazing. I feel like I can actually find everything I need to find on a daily basis. The recently updated topics and recently created topics helps me find new stuff to post in, and it's in a good spot on the forum layout, above the rest of the organized sections of forums. The banner is updated frequently so the site doesn't look dull and unoriginal all the time, which is nice and peachy . Everything is placed so conveniently so I can just get to a place I want to go quickly. I wouldn't have alot of things to do besides be on my Xbox before soccer season comes around, and this gives me something fun and enjoyable to do!

I also want to add that I probably wouldn't be as happy and spontaneous in real life and on the internet if it were not for this site.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Now, let's talk about the staff.

This. Staff. Is. Awesome. Seriously, I may be sounding like a suck up, but I don't care, it's true in my eyes. These staff are the best I've ever come across. They are attentive, kind, humorous, and at some times, enjoyably dimwitted and annoying (Don't ban me )! They do their moderating and administrating jobs well, they are kind to the users at almost all times unless the other user is being cruel to others, and they do, surprisingly, have fun and obtain a sense of humor (something not seen in many forum staff members).

Here's a story. I was on the forum I was talking about earlier (and it was quite a popular forum too), browsing, when a certain topic caught my eye. Containing foul language and a suggestive theme to it. I clicked on it, naturally, and saw a series of highly NSFW photos... I was like "HOLY MUFFIN GOTTA REPORT". Which I did. Three times in the course of an hour. How long did it take for moderators to take it down? 36 hours. Thirty. Six. Whole. Hours. We had to have our forum graced by the presence of these nasty images and the forumers decided it was a good idea to bump the post. Over. And over again. Over the whole entire course of hours it was up until SOME moderator decides to pay attention. I did not visit that forum for a while after that.

For this forum, it's different. There is at least one staff member on at most times to do his or her job, and when something crappy is posted (example, there was a troll reprimanding bronies in the Welcoming Plaza a few days ago, was taken down within the first 30 minutes), they are there to banish it to the inner depths of MLPForums Tartarus.

The Section and Global Moderators all do their job and take the right opportunities to be funny, serious, and relaxed, which I appreciate. I have not met a mod yet that I dislike. Each individual staff member has their unique characteristics and skills that make them awesome!

Now. On to Tech Admins in particular, which would include @Feld0 and . I personally would like to thank both of these lads for keeping the site up and running in perfect shape for the most part. The only time I saw the site go down was a DDoS attack, which was fixed within an hour. As mentioned by the admins, Scootacool works his butt off to make this site better and better, and it really shows. Another thing, this forum is freaking fast. With that new speed increase, everything, even the Random Chat Thread, which contains on average 3 posts per minute, most including pictures, loads almost instantly. Plus, the site in itself runs great for my likings.

To conclude, you may think that I'm giving too much positive feedback, but I mean this with all my heart, there is almost nothing about this site that bothers me. No forum is perfect, don't get me wrong, but this is the closest thing to a perfect site in my eyes. That's just why I wanted to say thank you all as a community, thank you admins, moderators, and site helpers, and thank you Feld0, for gracing our internet with a wonderful site like this.

/end

EDIT: I should also add in that I appreciate any mod's work that is no longer a mod, you served us well. You all know who you are

Holy muffin

 

I dearly hope it won't be closed immediately by the staff with the ticket reasoning

 

Anyway, @, how do your OC in your avatar held the cards? Is it magnetic?

 

Dayum My largest post was 2600 characters I believe...

 

Woo o_o

 

Is it something about the community or about the site?

 

Yeah, I'm not very active outside Cloudsdale. I find it's very hard for me to write a good reply lately. Many times I've written a long-ass reply in thread, just to delete it all and leave in shame D:

 

You wait It's a positive post

Oh ._.

 

Anyway, your profile page is still the starry night

 

I'll change it in a bit.

Wait a minute. Past persona? I never changed mine o_o

 

Oh good, your finally back to being Scootabloom! Yay!

 

Definitely worth it

Well, okay then

 

It was fun while it last

 

What happened? D:

 

I'm Scootabloom again

How could you forget us

 

It's on the Feedback&Suggestion, "Funny thing I noticed"

 

Meh, I agree with you half and also don't agree with you. I agree on the part that it's not like they're leaving all contact with every member here. However, if any good friend of mine (Kirby, ds8, CrazyClay, Star Weaver, ~CD~, the list goes on) I would be pretty devastated. Even though I can talk to all those members via Skype, xbox, etc, they still won't be on the forum, and no posts from them or anything. It leaves an empty feeling

@,

 

Watcha Duuuenn?

 

@CrazyClay, , and I are waiting for you on Xbox Live

 

 

Whoever thought that creating an anti-drama thread will lessened the drama is a good idea should be doused with freezing water

You ain't even in it, anyway. >:L

 

but just then wen zoop was gonna hit da ground, arylett laid down on da ground and broke zoop's fall wit her big butt.

 

Alright, I predict the future. You are #4 on Arylett's hit list once she sees this, and if you are already... let's just say make sure to lock your door tonight.

It's pretty good, and I really like the hairstyle, but her body seems a bit plump and she doesn't have the tail, unless you meant for that. Good overall though.
