Jeric 46,861 October 6, 2020 #1 Share October 6, 2020 We are wrapping together our own Birthday Celebration (9 years) with the show's 10th anniversary. Holy crap .... 10 years! Most of our lives back then vs. today may look entirely different. I know mine does. The show and this community have impacted my life in more ways that I can fathom. It isn't a stretch to say that it may have even saved my life since a few of my friends here were there when I needed a friend the most. The final BronyCon was a critical point in my life, where I took the final step into closure and healing from two years of struggling with grief and pain. I'll make a proper lengthy tome later, but I want to know if and how this show and community has impacted you over the years. While you are thinking about that ... @Randimaxis has graciously taken it upon himself to get the some special videos to say how much the show has meant and even some shoutouts to this very place. More fun to come folks. Eyup! 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpicEnergy 23,224 October 6, 2020 #2 Share October 6, 2020 Both MLPF AND MLP:FiM have been very helpful to me! I've made many amazing friends on MLPF and MLP:FiM has helped cheer me up in some dark times! So, happy birthday to MLPF and MLP:FiM! 11 *totally not up to any shenanigans* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikifive 24,229 October 6, 2020 #3 Share October 6, 2020 All the hobbies I have is what MLP inspired me to try in one way or another. If not MLP and its community, I most likely would be only playing games in my free time. It's a huge change in regards to how I spend my free time, but other than that, not much has changed, especially rl-wise. 9 ❤ ■■■■■■■■■■ ⭐ ■■■■■■■■■■ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparklefan1234 173,180 October 6, 2020 #4 Share October 6, 2020 If it weren't for Twilight Sparkle's reluctancy to make friends in Friendship is Magic I never would have decided to join MLPForums in the first place. I owe a lot to Friendship is Magic but the thing that I am most grateful for are the many amazing friendships that I have made during my time here. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Bolt 35,086 October 6, 2020 #5 Share October 6, 2020 Happy birthday MLP FIM and MLP Forums! I've met so many wonderful people through this website, in fact those I consider my best friends in the world. That wouldn't all be possible of course without MLP FIM! My life has changed a ton since I first got into pony way back in 2014, I've grown up with FIM and now, while MLP continues onto it's next chapter with G5, I continue on to my own next chapter in life. Thanks for always being there MLP. Thanks for introducing me to the most friendly and accepting fandom I know, and thank you MLP Forums for being a second home to so many of these awesome bronies and pegasisters. Here's to many more years to come! 9 ☆ My socials ☆ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Guide 21,362 October 6, 2020 #6 Share October 6, 2020 The show help me finish my studies at school (Flutter Brutter) and made me more social. since I realized the lessons taught in the show don't just apply to children; they apply to anyone regardless of age. 7 A Dragon as big as his love for Disney and has his head in the clouds literally and figuratively Ask Will Guide | Signature by Wife of Hawks | WiiGuy2014’s OCs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chadbacca 375 October 6, 2020 #7 Share October 6, 2020 This show has helped me come out of my shell after I was done with college since I really didn't have any friends to keep in touch with, and I would consider the fandom as my second family, even with its flaws if you were to dig deep. Thank you, MLP, and congratulations to Friendship is Magic nearing its 10th anniversary with Crusaders of the Lost Mark nearing its 5th anniversary. The show may be over, but the memories we made will last forever. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnight Danny 9,027 October 6, 2020 #8 Share October 6, 2020 The show really helped me to meet Countess Coloratura (Rara) to see what friendship could be! Now i made my very first friends of my life, the mane six! The MLP Forums will be always my second home, i made even more kind and friendly people to chat with! Happy birthday MLP Forums and MLP:FiM! I will never forget that moment! 9 Signature by @Sparklefan1234 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBD 17,256 October 6, 2020 #10 Share October 6, 2020 Whoa, nice impression on Macintosh @Randimaxis!!! And thanks for these words!! I can't believe it will be soon my four years here and this one of the forum I had ever been active for such a long time! I can say that we do have some ups and downs here among each other's here. We laugh together, we argue, we cry, all the emotions we shared in one forum. And that to me is like a family. Sure we have problems here but we also have others to help us get through it and make it work again. In most forum I have been with I cannot take the people who are so toxics and rude to each others. This forum I've noticed does have issues, but at the end everyone comes to respect one another from one way or other. We were able to tolerant and respect each other instead of putting other's down. I'll admit that I have come out rude or strong on some people here in the past. But as I see other's showing kindness it made me wanted to do the same. I appreciated all the time, fun, and patient, everyone has given me here and I will try to do the same here! 6 ♪ "I practice every day to find some clever lines to say, to make the meaning come through"♪ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Valtasar 12,700 October 6, 2020 #12 Share October 6, 2020 sometimes you have to pour your thoughts and the demons that haunt you, but you can't do it with family as some of them hit too close to home, that's where friends come in, and this place provided me with some of the best people and i am so glad to call them friends. you know who you are, thank you all 6 My Shop My Gallery Ask Zecora Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quackkyy The Pegasus 222 October 7, 2020 #16 Share October 7, 2020 (edited) I just got here and now the fandom is 10 years old It's been a good 2 weeks Maybe I'll celebrate with a pony cake. Edited October 7, 2020 by QurkyThePegasus 5 I want my name to be QuerkyThePegasus but the s was awkwardly hanging below the rest of my name. Who made that lovely banner?

Cash In 22,526 October 7, 2020 #19 Share October 7, 2020 Ten years is quite the milestone and it's amazing to think that next year will mark a decade of this forum. The show has been a big part of my life for the last three years and so has this forum. Big Mac himself brought out Smarty Pants, so you know it's a special occasion. 8 At first I rejected the zero, but that was because I simply didn't understand it. Now I do.

Will Guide 21,362 October 7, 2020 #21 Share October 7, 2020 On 2020-10-07 at 1:44 AM, You said: He started as a jerk and douchebag, and a lazy B, but that's just until the end, where we all realize...he is just afraid, and well..yes, human. That it is easier to pretend not to try than doing so and risk failing. I feel and felt absolutely relatable to that. Expand Exactly. His fear of failure is the one saving Grace about him. In fact I found a really great story where we actually did manage to get a job working with manes as he has taken classes forvand it's far away from home so he won't be able to mooch off his parents. other than his appearance in the 200th episode we don't really see much of his life after that episode so I like to imagine that that is his new lifestyle.

Fluttershyfan94 5,742 October 7, 2020 #22 Share October 7, 2020 It has been nine and ten years that's awesome having been here since the early days of both the fandom and the forums I have to say it's pretty amazing how both the forum and the community around a show about ponies has kept going and will continue to do so. 5 DA: http://fluttershyfan94.deviantart.com/ Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/user/Fluttershyfan94 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deae Rising Shine~ 56,145 October 7, 2020 #23 Share October 7, 2020 Best Show, best forum, duh! I wouldn't know how life would be without both, but I doubt it would be in anyway better. I met many people, even if I'm not as active as in my first years 14/15, but probavbly the most important thing I got is my best friend @BastementSparkle. Unfortunalty, from today on he might have no internet till unknown, so kinda sad. I probably can go as far to say he's my longest friend and we didn't even met in person...you know, big, giant ocean and all in the way. And while theres always the chance, this certainly feels like the nicest and kindest forum I am in so far and hope G5 and this forum stay good, strong and awesome! 8 Legends never die. Ponies neither. Rainbow Dash is best pony! Ava made by Pandora^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganondorf8 11,397 October 7, 2020 #24 Share October 7, 2020 Nine and ten years respectively. Wow... It makes me feel older knowing how long it's been. Granted, I've only been around here for four of those nine years and seven for Friendship is Magic (I experienced the entire duration of Equestria Girls minus those initial months so once again EQG proves to be my preference) yet it feels like it's been longer. I don't have much else to say without going into personal matters aside from this... I've got my own celebration to work on... And it's not related to this. Hmmm... What could I be up to? No one knows... Not even me. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
