Jeric 46,852 June 5, 2018 Share June 5, 2018 Not that long ago there was some interest in more community events. They are fun, silly, don't take an ungodly amount of planning, and help to foster a sense of community comraderie. Going forward, we will endeavour to have community events become a regular ongoing tradition. Most will be Pony themed, and some will focus around the non pony elements of this community. Let's have some simple goofy fun shall we. Those that have a keen eye will notice a few sly changes to the event calendar with Character specific celebratory days. These were created and generated by the fandom at large, but some will be unique to our small piece of this fandom. Other event days will be just silly fun. To encourage some partivipation, we are also pilot testing the IPB Awards system as an experiment. There will be a separate announce regarding that in the coming days, but this will be your preview of that system. June Events Calendar 6/13/18 - Free Balloon Day - to celebrate this day, we will be rolling at a simple custom balloon emoticon or two that you can give to those within the community. There will be a topic created similar to the boop and hug threads allowing you to give balloons to members that you have noticed. Of course, popping on their profile and dropping off a balloon is also encouraged. To thank all those that log in to MLPF that day, you will be automatically awarded a limited edition Badge that will show on your profile. This is the first of such badges that will be found here. You will only receive this if you login that day. No you don't have to physically give a balloon, though it would be great if you did. Summer Sun Celebration - Celestia Day Join MLPF as we celebrate the Summer Soltice with our favorite Sun raising Princess (yes I know Luna and Twilight also did it .... shush). More information will be forthcoming ... Also, the World Cup is slowly taking shape so now would be a great time to check those topics out. TTFN and stay Fabulous MLPF 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clod 8,294 June 5, 2018 Share June 5, 2018 It's nice to see these used again. I was wondering what the future of the event calendar would be, and I guess I got my answer. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadOBabe 18,997 June 5, 2018 Share June 5, 2018 (edited) Hooray for Celestia Day!! BEST PONY!! I heartily petition for there to be an official Ahuizotl Day as well! I mean, every day is Ahuizotl Day for me, but I don’t mind sharing! Edited June 5, 2018 by ShadOBabe 3 Check out my artwork any time: http://shadobabe.deviantart.com/ "OMG; You are such a troll.

Batbrony 16,055 June 5, 2018 Share June 5, 2018 Very nice to see little events and activities like this being boosted on here again, looking forward to 'em! Let me know how you'd like PR to boost them if need be. 4 "You'll hunt me. You'll condemn me, set the dogs on me. Because that's what needs to happen.

Dark Qiviut 22,433 June 7, 2018 Share June 7, 2018 (edited) Excellent to see event days on this forum again. I didn't care less about them previously, but after not seeing any for a while, the forum sometimes became boring and rigid. Adding fun lets the hair (or pixels here) flow.

Totally Nyx 36,062 June 14, 2018 Share June 14, 2018 Something I just discovered, for anyone who sees this before the end of the day.

The logging in is very important. I stay logged in, and when I open my browser I'm still logged in.

Cast Character Princess Celestia 184 June 15, 2018 Cast Character Share June 15, 2018 (edited) It will be my honor to see this wonderful community take part in one of Equestrias most celebrated events. I look forward to attending. Oh! The emoticon you use of me certainly isn't the most flattering image of myself. You really should tell the ponies that run this place to consider some others, but please, no pictures from the Foal Free Press. My sister and I don't have the best experience with their photographers. Edited June 15, 2018 by Princess Celestia 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
