twilight24 323 July 25, 2015 Share July 25, 2015 I know they took it down because of drama and people draggi,g others into the mess. I still wish it was around . For you see some members (not just me) have trouble finding like minded people . Some are very shy. Others did t want to join a dating site. Should a few spoked apples ha e to ruin the whole bunch? Maybe they could do a forum where a moderator had to approve of your application . And it would be for fleeing friends or more. Not a discussion thread . I dunno . I'm just some lonely person . What are your thothus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphys Hedge 671 July 25, 2015 Share July 25, 2015 I think It's good it was taken down, because MLPForums is not a dating site. Though that's just my opnion. 2 Character in profile picture is Pearl from Steven Universe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightwing 12,973 July 25, 2015 Share July 25, 2015 I know that I should write a long post here, but I will be direct. This is not a dating site. If you want to date someone, that's nice, but you'll have to do it on the old way, which is talking to other people. 4 ~~ Forum Rules - Forum FAQ - What do you think of me? ~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ribbonfree 2,383 July 25, 2015 Share July 25, 2015 Don't think it would see too much use anyhow. How many peeps actually did anything through the old thread? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many peeps actually did anything through the old thread?To be honest, you would actually be surprised. Also, to add more to the discussion, the thread was taken down for a variety of reasons, recopilated on this thread , if you want more information. ~~ Forum Rules - Forum FAQ - What do you think of me? ~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moved to Elsewhere 11,331 July 25, 2015 Share July 25, 2015 No. Seeing all the drama that happened the last time it was up, the staff doesn't want to deal with that again. This is also not a dating site. I really don't get why people need threads like this to find a date. If you want something like that, get the guts to actually talk to someone as long as it doesn't come off as stalkerish. Besides, I've seen way more successful relationships on this site without that thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

javaleen 144 July 25, 2015 Share July 25, 2015 I didn't get to see what happened to said thread but, as a fellow brony who got herself a brony fellow mate all I can say is that you can do it without being organized about it. Hell, I met him on facebook on a group chat and we just hung out a lot and shamelessly flirted with each other for a couple of months 1st jokingly then getting bit by bit serious about it until we eventually said 'what the heck? Let's try make it happen' and it's been happening for the past 2,5 years :> If you really want to meet somepony special just hang out with other ponies and be chill about it. You'll find someone eventually. ^^ (just be sure you know the ages of the people you hang out with just in case some 12 yo proves to be a bit more maturely thinking and get you in a pretty unhealthy kind or a relationship :v ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troblems 5,617 July 26, 2015 Share July 26, 2015 @@twilight24, I moved your topic because it seems more like a suggestion than a General topic. Here's the thread that was posted when the dating thread was removed. I don't have much to say beyond what Artemis posted at the time, because how he worded it so well. I would like to reiterate a few things, though. It goes beyond the amount of drama that resulted There is an entire website worth of forum goers that you can meet without using that one dating thread Harassment ensued Angry parents are scary The amount of reports that resulted from that one thread was staggering. I'm personally relieved its gone to a place where it can no longer hurt us. The thread wasn't taken down on a whim, but after long discussions (yes plural) before a decision was reached. I understand where you're coming from, but at this point a dating thread will not be one of the threads available to members. 4 I got an extra hour in the ballpit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
