Poniverse nostalgia

[Bojo 1,369]

So I was talking about Equestria.tv and PoniArcade with my friends and how we missed them so much and wanted to know if anypony else felt the same way.

What is/was your favorite Poniverse service and what is/was your favorite part about it? Do you want to share any memories of them? Who was your favorite Poniverse mascot? Did you ever draw any of them? Did you ship any of them?

My very favorite besides MLPF was always EQTV. Watching the premiering epsiodes there was extremely fun, the chat was so active on season premieres or finales that it could be overwhelming to keep up with sometimes but it was so much fun! Especially when you came across peeps from the MLPF. Oh! And the movie nights were so awesome too and the whole process behind them. Anypony could suggest movies and EQTV staff had to make polls everytime so we could all choose movies to watch. The top 2 or 3 movies voted were the ones streamed and sometimes we would get double or triple features. Grabbing some snacks and joking around and discussing the films with friends and other Poni members made so many of my nights back then so fun! So, thank you for everything @Yozer247 , @Mr Dash and the rest of EQTV former staff (sorry if I'm missing some of you!!!), I remember you guys being so kind and fun, you always made sure everyone was having an awesome time and you were always so helpful. Miss you so much guys!

All of the Poniverse mascots were supe cute!!! Legit always loved their designs and the comics of them from @SFyr that he used to do for the Poniverse Tumblr, oh I miss him and his comics so much!!! I really recommend reading his comics, you'll get to know the mascots better and ShipFyr art is just majestic; you can find them on the official Tumblr or ShipFyr's DeviantArt.

My favorite mascot is Viridian Meadows from EQTV (don't worry Buffy, I love you too ) and I ship her so much with Nova from PoniArcade.

Fun times... fun times! 

Thank you to all the Poniverse staff for everything you do/did. If any of you are reading this please come by and say hi! And thank you to everyone around in MLPF, you all make this community so awesome!

Much fun has been had on this here site and while I do miss EQ TV very much...

Spoiler

Ya'll remember this being the last vid to play right before a new episode got streamed on EquestriaTV?

 

The Crème de la crème for me will always be the Making Christmas Merrier charity events! I tell your I remember MCM with great fondness. 

Boy oh boy were they some fun! So so many staff members put in the hard yards to bring it all together, coming up with the rewards and art and managing the whole shebang, it was all a really awesome collaborative effort with so many forum members participating and donating, nothing can shake the pride I have in this community and its charitable nature, off the top of my head I remember us contributing to the BC Children's Hospital and Charity Water.

I'd like to add that Making Christmas Merrier is also one of the many contributing elements to the legacy of MLP Forums beloved late Jeric, who had an instrumental roll in many MCM events, you really made 'em something Jer.

My thanks to all involved and all who participated! Staff and User alike.
