Jeric 46,869 October 3, 2015 Share October 3, 2015 Happy 4th Birthday MLP Forums! In internet years that has to be close to being a full grow mare! For those that don't know, four years ago a young but perspicacious Brony by the name of @Feld0 flipped the switch on an upstart new forum celebrating a certain Pony show and its exploding community. Feld0 actually created an in depth retrospective of the origins of the site here, so I won't regale you with that story when you can get it from the horse's mouth directly. I am hoping that he will do us the honor of popping in here to say a few words. Forums, unlike large sexy social media platforms, tend to not get the appropriate recognition that they deserve. While it is not as glamorous as Twitter - it passes the most meaningful community driven test there is. There is no doubt that our little corner of digital Equestria has impacted many lives. We know from what others have mentioned that it may have saved a few lives in the process. Friendships have been forged (the amount of individuals I interact with has grown exponentially), and I have met people that I have no doubt will continue to be long lived friendships. I know that I am not the exception here. MLP Forums is a site that undoubtedly means different things to different members. Whether you come to talk Ponies posting 20+ topics a day, simply lurk about reading blogs and topics, or spend all of your time in the Lounge or Forum Games - your impact here is felt. It doesn't matter if this site has been a catalyst for life changes or a simple distraction. We thank you you for being here, each and every one of you. In celebration of MLP Forums 4th Birthday we are rolling out some cute little touches starting now as we take a week to celebrate what we enjoy about MLPF. All of this will culminate with the grand unveiling of the winner of the Buffy Cutie Mark Contest on 10/10/15 (still a few days to enter BTW). I hope you all like cake and explosive cannon fire. Thank you MLP Forums. Thank you Feld0 and Kurtiss and all those that make this place a cozy internet home for so many individuals. Here is to another 4 great years. 57 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Dash 1,820 October 3, 2015 Share October 3, 2015 Woohoo! Happy Birthday MLP Forums! I've been here for about 2 1/2 of those 4 years. And have enjoyed every bit of it. This is the first forum where I actually stayed. I may have drifted away for a bit, but I have been coming back. And I tend to get on almost every day again. There's something about this forum and Poniverse that keeps drawing me back to it. Thanks for being the #1 Pony forum on the interwebs! Again, Happy Birthday!. 12 Like, don't underestimate my power man. Come join us Friday nights for Movie Night @ The CMC Clubhouse: 5pm CST.

Sugar Cube 4,843 October 3, 2015 Share October 3, 2015 Been to a lot of forums in my near ten year computer nerd career, but I have never stayed with one, been as active in, or had as much fun with any of those communities as I have here at MLPf. And while I come and go sometimes, I'll never leave for good. I've made too many special friends here and have too many fond memories of this place. I'm proud to say that MLP Forums has been my cyber home for almost the entire four years that it's graced the web. It's touched my life in a positive way that is difficult to put in words. I just want to thank everyone involved who has had a hand in making this such a special community. Feld0 and Kurtiss, the helpful administrators, all of the hard working mods and staffers, and even just the community in general. Thanks for making this place great. Happy 4th birthday, MLPf! Here's to many more! 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odyssey 5,718 October 3, 2015 Share October 3, 2015 (edited) Of all of the forums I have chosen to stick by, it is MLP Forums. Usually I tend to leave most Internet forums due to a lack of activity or that the community is unapproachable, but fortunately enough MLP Forums is such a lively website that it makes you want to come back and talk with the people here. As such, it is the only website I regularly visit at this point. But even if I'll leave for one day, I would still be thinking of this site and all of the fantastic friends I have made here. I would be heartbroken if I did leave permanently. And although I've only been here for a year and a half, this website is kind of like my second home. I learnt many morals from the community I never knew before, I have learnt many new art techniques by you guys, I have always enjoyed the little things like Making Christmas Merrier and so on. This website has shaped me into a completely different person thanks to you guys. Have I never approached the site in the first place, I wouldn't feel the same as I do now than back in 2014. Thank you for creating such a fantastic website, @Feld0 and @Kurtiss! It's definitely a website I'll be sticking by for a long time. Here's to another 4 years!
