My Favourite Mane 6 Pony: Rainbow Dash

How did you find MLP Forums?: yahoo

How you became a fan of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic: I'll just copy paste this from another forum.

 

I'd always seen the pony threads on /b/, but thought some artist just really liked to draw pictures of ponies. I had no idea about FiM's existence. I thought it was kinda funny that some people would troll /b/ with cute pictures, amid all the gore and porn. Then one night I was on Facebook posting an article I had read about the US killing a terrorist, and I went to Youtube to find a picture of someone crying, to ironically post it along with the article. I found Crylight Sparkle, and recognized it from /b/. I posted the article, and watched a few more of the crying pony videos. At that point I had to find out just what in the heck was going on here, and I made my way over to the KYM article about the show. From there I watched the first few minutes of Ponies: The Anthology. Thinking back I remember watching the opening clip from the Anthology and thinking, "well I guess there's 2 of the purple one". At that point in my life, I had recently watched Fullmetal Alchemist, Gurren Lagann, Soul Eater, and the 2003 reboot of Astroboy. I really appreciated those cartoons, so I figured this would be another that I watched once through, and that was it. Good lord....if only I knew what I was getting myself in to.

I was up to "Over a Barrel" when I read on wikipedia about the recent S2 premiere, and how Faust had gotten John De Lancie to play Discord, and that the character was based on Q. Now, I'm a HUGE Next Generation fan, I loved Q, when I found this out I started laughing hysterically. I might have even been giggling like an idiot. I was already loving the show, but that moment when I discovered De Lancie's involvement, I knew my soul was sold to MLP:FiM. Since then I've upgraded from a crap phone to an iPhone, simply so I could have 8 bit Winter Wrap Up as my ringtone, and I moved into my own apartment, so I wouldn't have to basically hide in my room with the volume down, so nobody knew I was watching MLP. Now I watch ponies on a 47' HDTV, in the comfort of my leather recliner, and I'm loving life as much as I did when I was in the US Air Force for 6 years. I had absolutely nothing to live for from the time I got out of the military, until I discovered ponies. Now I have this.

1 year ago today I discovered MLP: FiM. This was the most wonderful year of my life. This show has warmed my heart, and given me a peace that I haven't known before.

'Ello good sir, and welcome to the forums! Yes, like you MLP has made my life a tad happier than it once was. You should enjoy yourself her, see you 'round

Hi, thanks for the welcome. I appreciate MLP communities that are largely positive about the show, instead of exasperatingly critical and negative.

I'm surprised that the following video isn't used as a welcome more often...
