You know you're a member of MLP Forums when..

[Wingnut 7,003]

When a post you didn’t give a whole lot of thought to proves to be wildly popular

When you say "Hi!" to @Treeglow Flicker  and she doesn't respond because she RP's her Kirin forum gimmick 24/7.

When everyone thinks I'm a girl because of my  Della Duck or Rapunzel avatar and I've just decided to roll with it because I think it's funny. 

 

 

   

 

Yet most people think I'm a guy even though I thought the "Mare" in my name would be a dead giveaway! 

When you ask for homework help and someone actually responds. I can't believe a My Little Pony website is more helpful with academics than my teachers or an instructional site.

I know I'm a member of MLP Forums when...

I say "My favorite pony is ___." just so I can use the "Starlight Glimmer eating popcorn" gif and watch the chaos.  

I'm a duck who is friends with a bunch of ponies, a muskox and a Kirin.

I learned words like "aria" from a show about talking ponies. 

I know if another user is referencing a line from MLP because I've seen the episodes so many times. 

I'm friends with the Administrators and Moderators. I don't know if this happens much on other forums.

AGREED! I've been "Sparklefan" since I joined MLPF and that won't change!

When I have a friend named @Splashee who is not water and a friend named @Duality who is water.

When a user has a variation of their favorite ponies name as their screen name. 

[Totally Nyx 36,196]

When every time I hear the word "totally" I think someone's talking to me. 

[Sparklefan1234 172,909]

I know I'm a member of MLP Forums when I have to remember to copy/paste, double-space & THEN I can successfully post a status update.

When the deviantart link consistently breaks no matter how many times I post it 

[DubWolf 17,373]

You have to keep reposting your status because you forget about the bug >:c

When I think you should go back to "ThunderGust" in order to avoid confusing yourself.

I know I'm a member of MLP Forums when I read this as: "I'd like the teacup emoji to turn into "toast" someday.".

When I remember an old user I interacted with years ago better than someone I interacted years ago with in real life . I guess always having the names present helps

[Sparklefan1234 172,909]

When I remember an old user I interacted with years ago and I think "I hope they're doing well." so I make a post somewhere telling them that.

When you're glad you're friends are ok with clicking a deviantart link even though links can be scary to click on

[Sparklefan1234 172,909]

When I try to spot My Friends OC's in the backgrounds of episodes even though I know that the only ones I could possibly see are

@Totally Nyx & @Treeglow Flicker .

When someone posts Della Duck in my feed because of my avatar or they remember that I LOVE Rapunzel. 

[ExplosionMare 18,086]

When all my forum friends have either given me nicknames or started some goofy inside joke with me. It's the one site where you can get recognized without having a massive fan base or something like that.

When I post my headcanon about Twilight Sparkle loving bacon and users probably think: "That's just, Sparklefan.".
