Staffer of the Week: Princess Silky & Sir Hugsalot

Samurai Equine · August 20

Princess Silky & Sir Hugsalot

I know, a little unorthodox to celebrate two staffers at once, but they insisted since their nominations were almost back-to-back. :adorkable: So together, let's give a round of thunderous applause to the admin couple of MLPForums.com; @Ice Princess Silky and @Sir Hugsalot!

The Legend:

They came together to the forums. Two wanderers, who encountered a fun, thriving community and desired to be a part of it. Her talent - potions. If there's a plant, there's a secret recipe Star Silk has that involves it. His talent - music. Creativity unbound, which warmed their nights on trail. There is no Sir without his guitar or his music.

They loved the community so much, they wished to become big part of it. That led them to becoming staffers, guiding us all to era of love and friendship of MLPForums.

The Reality:

Our iconic couple. As they say, they've met in 2014 when Silky made an innocent status update about looking for friends, to which Sir quickly responded. Ever since then they were inseparable, first as friends, then as two people, who have found love in each other thanks to our forums. You will not choose wrong if you manage to befriend them. They have a great judge of character and surprisingly great taste in music. Behind the scenes, they've been building this place up into the best forum it can be. They have left a lasting legacy that has positively effected and helped more users than they will ever know.

These two are my friends and I feel very happy to be in team with them ^_^ In the short time I've known them, I've come to know many great stories that we share and special moments that we've bonded over. And I know that plenty of other staffers and users that feel the same.

But enough about me! If you have any amazing stories to share about Silky and/or Hugsalot, feel free to share!
You may also share the happiest memories you've made while on this forum, if you prefer. Either of these sentiments would be deeply appreciated.

Thank you, lovely! <3 I can't believe I crushed on this user name Sir Hugoholic (Sir Winterholic later on - how fitting!) since 2014 and was too shy and humbled to ever let him know. <3 Even 10 years later, I still can't get over him. ;~;

FINALLY?! I literally made it so that Admins were either NOT an option to be voted for until OTHER staffers got their honorary mentions! I swear you and Samurai did something... there's no way this happened, otherwise. ^_^ I'm being trolled here!

You're the BEST, Nitobit <3

I swear you guys trolled me hard with this one. I even got a message from someone about this thread. And the trolling continues! :laugh:

"I like what Samurai said about the demon slaying! Silky, destroyer of edgelords who hate kindness and slayer of all kinds of demons!"

Me: Yeah, my OC is pretty interesting. Soft and floofy but able to defend herself well enough.

Them: Wasn't talking about your OC :umad:

Me: We don't talk about that.. :v

Them:

Soooooo stahhp trollin' mehhh or I'll tag yerrrrr yuh ter explain! >:3

But overall, thank YOU lovelies for being so supportive and kind in the community!! It's YOU who keep this place as awesome as it is and while I miss a lot of the OG friends who prefer to lurk here from time to time rather than post... I still see the glimmer of friendship between all of you that made this place so legendary! Keep it up, lovelies. You're awesome!

Congratulations to both @Ice Princess Silky and @Sir Hugsalot!

I just want to take a moment to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the love, dedication, and kindness you’ve brought to this community over the years. Though we may not have been close friends, your actions have left a deep and lasting impact on me and so many others here. Your journey on MLPForums, from your first steps in 2014 to now, is a beautiful testament to the power of connection and the strength of the bonds you’ve created.

Reading your reflections, I’m struck by the depth of your experiences and the incredible way you’ve woven yourself into the fabric of this community. From the whimsical beginnings of your account to the profound connections you’ve made along the way, it’s clear that you’ve poured your heart and soul into making this place special. The way you’ve navigated challenges, both online and in your personal life, with grace and resilience is nothing short of inspiring. Your return to MLPForums to restore what was lost and heal old wounds speaks volumes about your character and your unwavering commitment to those you care about.

Your story about how a simple status update led you to your soulmate and best friend is a beautiful reminder of the magic that can happen when we open ourselves up to others. It’s incredible to think that a place like this, built on the values of friendship, love, and kindness, could bring two people together in such a meaningful and life-changing way.

As you move on to new chapters, I hope that someday, if I ever find myself in New York, I might have the chance to visit you and Sir Hugsalot in person. It would be a wonderful opportunity to finally meet and share in the warmth and joy you’ve extended to so many through your presence here. The memories you’ve created, the friendships you’ve nurtured, and the love you’ve shared are an indelible part of this community. Even if we’re not in contact, your spirit and the impact you’ve made will always be cherished.

Thank you to the both of you, for everything. For the joy, kindness, and unwavering support you’ve given to this community. Even as an observer, I’ve seen the profound difference you’ve made, and I know I’m not alone in feeling this way. Please know that MLPForums will always be your home, and you’ll always have a place in our hearts.

Felis Amafeles · August 20

I joined this forum because I met an OC art scammer.
I was asking Silky for information on a certain scammer
and Silky showed me this post she wrote about posting scams.
It's been a lot of fun, the friendships have been made over a seemingly unfortunate incident! :mlp_smile:
Thank you Ice Princess Silky and Sir Hugsalot !
I'm lucky to live in the same community with you

Oh my gosh, this is so humbling... you're going to make me tear up. This was so meaningful to me. I hope one day we do meet. I appreciate all that you do for us here and I've heard nothing but amazing things about you from everyone else!

Another treasured gem over here. I remember how COOL I thought your OC looked. How she also has a streak on her bangs, like mine. I was too shy to approach you as a friend after I helped you but not only did you show an interest in being a friend on your own... you've been such a supportive and kind gem to this community. Seriously. Thank you for being so awesome.

Sir Hugsalot · August 20

Thank you so much for honoring us with being staffers of this week <3

This community was always dear to me. Needless to say, I was lucky to find one I love here. But there's more, so let's get a bit productive with this post :rarity:

Ever since I came here it was a place unlike any other on the Internet. It was year 2013 yet in vast majority of cases, people could've been assumed to be kind hearted and open to friendship by default. The bad apples (they always exist and it's okay) always met their end eventually as moderation made it a priority to keep the community clean. Back then I was one of many regular users, who felt lonely in their life and wanted to belong somewhere. It was important enough to me to even get involved with some matters regarding its future, even though I've done so as a user who merely made sure their opinion is heard and their reason for being here is known.

MLPForums.com is where I belonged and belong. Of course with years I started gaining friends outside of it, especially due to my pursuit of education in college yet I could never let go of the forums, because this is the place where I could express myself freely. It's a place dear to my heart.

I hope that even back then I inspired people. Helped others, who shared my struggle to find peace in the world. Most of those people are sadly not around today, but I like to think they're somewhere nice and they're happy. And it warms my heart to see new faces find happiness in this community. I love you all for being part of our forums <3

Eventually my activity dropped. Year 2017 was when I became less active and that remained a constant all the way until year 2022 when I was completely pulled back by no other, but Magical Mare or, as you know her today - @Ice Princess Silky . Together we made it into the staff and now together we are admins of this community, next to, of course, being a loving couple who was lucky enough to have met each other here. I can't express enough how blessed do I feel about it :wub:

So from the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone, to the staff that gives so much of their time and energy to ensure the community is thriving, to users who find our cozy forums a place where they want to spend some of their own precious time and most of all to @Ice Princess Silky , who always supported me and came back with me to the very community that made it possible for us to meet <3

Yours truly,

Sir Hugsalot :hug_day:

Hmm... It is almost as if they are both the same people. But, the forums would undoubtedly not be the same without her... him...

Minka · August 20

Yaay! Congraties guys! :hug_day: :izzy-shine:

Stories, stories... I got some!
I remember @Sir Hugsalot, then known to me as Sir Hugholic (I called him Huguś :3) becoming a first ever friend I made online... aaand I just realised HOLY COW IT WAS 10 YEARS AGO. We're so old bro. :sealed: Anyway, just can say I was in a very dark, shaky place, and he helped me sail trough it smoothly it like nobody else could. Also he's my favourite test subject for puns! :ph3ar:

About Silky, I remember drawing her in Kirin form to celebrate her reaching the rank per request Sir Hugsalot's request... And then, first ever pony meme! Lemme throw a throwback!

Spoiler

I remember I wanted to join this forum back then, but because my second name is Idonteverknowhowtopeople (It's in Finnish, don't worry), I didn't :sealed: .

Anyway, BASK IN THE SPOTLIGHT GUYS, YOU DESERVE IT! <3

Treeglow Flicker · August 20

@Ice Princess Silky and @Sir Hugsalot

What can I say about you two?

Firstly congratulations, I suppose. Not only for being staffers of the week, but also for not being driven insane with the responsibilities of keeping this place going.

I'm still not sure which of you two decided "You know what? Let's see if we can get that Treeglow Flicker weirdo on staff. They seem fun!" But regardless, I just want to take the opportunity to say thank you for the opportunity to work alongside you both and everypony else on staff. Of course, it still remains impossible to look on you as bosses. But that's because before anything, I look on both you as my good friends. And well, any other titles seem to fall to the wayside before that. Except for perhaps @Sir Hugsalot's name of Sir Huggy Hugface. That definitely remains at the front of my kirin brain. Now and forever in fact. :kirin:

You two approached me with friendship and I am really glad to have met you. And continue to be glad that I know you both.

Once again, congratulations to you both. :eager:

Ohhh.. come now, Treeglow Flicker. Having you in staff isn't so bad. I mean... sure... you almost... accidentally summoned Cthulu that one time... (AND DO NOT DENY THIS, I HAVE THIS SKETCHED OUT --- THE EVIDENCE IS UNDER PROCESS) ... but you know what? We all make mistakes, right? And that's part of being in staff... learning and growing from mistakes. ^^

Hahaha but all of that put aside, thank you for your kind words. I am not a big fan of the boss dynamic. I see people here as family unless they've proven to be otherwise toxic, abusive or downright hateful to users or the community that we've all built here together <3

With that said, thank you for your kind words. I shall treasure them always <3
