Hey zoomers browsing this board! How did you find this place and how long have you been here?
was just looking through random boards out of boredom6 months
>>41295018Pony Thread Simulator2 years lurking + 9 years posting
>>41295018brony in middle school, quit, now in collegewandered here from pol2 weeks
>>41295018Started lurking on /b/ in late August 2015 after watching some dumb youtube video about it. Looked at the board list after a couple weeks or so and saw /mlp/. I was already a ponyfag so I came over and never looked back
>>41295018donkie pie
>>41295041>wandered here from polGo the FUCK back, parasite.
>>41295051no. it’s comfy
>>41295051hey thats not very friendship of you>>41295056and you better behave then faget
>>41295018Everyone over 30 should just die already.
>>41295067Why reply and ignore the function of the thread? adhd perhaps?
>>41295018I watched the show since 20112013
>>41295018Started lurking as underageb& around 2013 because of something I saw on funnyjunk, abandoned pone for a while due to social pressure, then came back a few years later after realizing that was a stupid reason to leave
One of those 2012 youtube videos showing threads. As a 10 year old I had no idea what 4chan was. First time on /mlp/ was 2020
Fun Fact! The oldest zoomers are 27 now!
>>41295018pony thread simulator, though I at least knew of 4chan before then and was already familiar with a lot of the in-jokes thanks to (I hate to say it) know your memeWill be ten years in november or so
>>41295027>Only 2 years of lurkingLurk moar
>>41295122>he fell for the lurking meme
I occasionally browse 4chan but I only a few hours ago figured out the captcha so technically I'm three hours old, but have easily browsed this site for the better part of a year.
>>4129501820 nowstarted lurking /b/ about 8 years agofound my way to /mlp/ and started watching the shownever posted because my parents actually taught me internet safety and I was super schizo that someone would find outafter the enshittification of the entire site circa 2016 I left and came back two years ago/trash/ and /mlp/ were relatively in tact but /trash/ has fallen off in the last year and /mlp/ has slowed quite a bitI also pop into /f/ occasionally for a nostalgia hit
>>41295124please don't joke like that, some retards might actually believe you.
>>41295111Huh, I thought the cut off was 1999—not that two years makes a huge difference.
>>41295145They were saying 94 is millenial and 96 is zoomed. I am 95 so I feel alienated by everyone
I loved Gurren Lagann when it came out so I'd go looking up forums discussing the show. I then found the zone-tan animated /v/ rage videos on YouTube which led me to this place. I had been browsing /b/ and /x/ for several years already when the fandom really started taking off in 2011. I was here on this board from the start and took a break from it from 2014 to 2021. I mostly posted on /r9k/, /co/, /tv/, /fa/, and /mu/ during those years which helped me get laid. Pandemic hit and the poni poni fever has been twice as strong. At some point I think I was the youngest poster on this website around 2009 when I was 9 years old. That is unless you know of any other 9 year old who posted here but I wouldn't be surprised if there were.
>>41295018Probably a few years in total. This is the only board with a stalwart culture that I can respect.
>>41295171>I mostly posted on /r9k/, /co/, /tv/, /fa/, and /mu/ during those years which helped me get laid.I assume you mean the latter two. Nobody has ever gotten laid from posting on /r9k/ kek
>>41295132How can someone be THIS NEW?!!?!?!!
>>41295188All the oneities beta orbiter stories fucking did it in for me. It made me realize that shit was pathetic and I should avoid acting like any of those robots. For sure /fa/ helped me get laid but in return it gave me an eating disorder.
>>41295171>posting at 9 years oldMust've been some QUALITY jokes and opinions, bro. I'm on that Milennial/Zoomer cusp but my siblings and peers are all much older, so I have very little zoomzoom in me. I must've been 10 or 11 when I started using 4chan a while before FiM dropped, yet I actually lurked for 2 years before posting, then did post only rarely before I was college-aged. You're probably Anglo, I'm ESL; to me it was an active effort to understand what's going on around here when I had only begun studying English. I could only watch as I was missing out on ALL the early fandom merch, including the eBay auction of several original Faust sketches such as of Discord. Thanks to 4chan, subbed animu and English-speaking cartoons (including poni), my language skills are breddy gudd by now.
>>41295018Happened to see some ponies, remembered this board exists, came here, been stuck here for the past three years. I actually first got into pony back in 2011 but dropped out after season four.
>>41295196I'm full ESL but I spoke English more fluently than my mother tongue at age 2 so it was a matter of getting the references and colloquialisms rather than understanding the language itself. Lurking the forums of Encyclopedia Dramatica, Gamefaqs, and watching Alfred Alfer on Newgrounds is where I learned a bulk of what I know about Western culture. As for my sense of humor, it was the worst. I was a fucking 4chan basedboy openly professing my love for Anonymous back and shitting on my 9Gag loving classmates back in 2010. Embarrassing stuff.
>>41295201You had internet access at age 2 and can speak English better than your mother tongue?! You are fucking kidding us all?! Please say you are kidding! This would be the most sad, fucked up life I have ever witnessed.
>>41295202We had a computer back then that belonged to my aunt. I vividly remember her browsing scary geocities websites made by alleged cannibals back in the day. My uncle also used it to play the MMORPG, Ragnarok. I mostly played flash games during that time and learned how to animate in flash around 2007 so I could be like the animators that I looked up to. I did all of that just to become a normie when I turned 18. That was probably the most "sad and fucked up" part. Good thing I retvrned.
>>41295212You answered nothing of what I asked.
>>41295018>zoomersYou are the zoomer here off boarder.
>>41295216If you couldn't infer the answer from the last post, I'm afraid your English reading comprehension skills are still at a subhuman level.
>>41295216Nigger what question?
>>41295220So, I guess you want to say that you weren't kidding?
>>41295225I'm posting Anonymously online, of course I'd never lie!
Why are you assuming that I'm an off-boarder?
>>41295281Now I'm assuming you're not even a 4channer, let alone a poni lover. Don't even know how to >>
>>41295194idk lol the captchas are probably the biggest con of the site tho
>>41295291>biggest con of the site thoAre you slow, Nonny?>thoAre you a zoomzoom, Faggoty?
>>41295287what makes you think that?
>>41295294>Are you a zoomzoomNTA but that’s literally the point of the thread
I found this site when I was like 11, starting watching MLP not long after. Stopped watching MLP when I was like 13 or 14 when Twilight became an alicorn, got back into shitposting about them a few months ago. Idk if I'll start watching again, every time I think about watching it as a bearded 20 something year old I feel like an absolute sperg.
>>41295314I’m more or less in the same boat with age and appearance, except I’m knee deep into my first run through the entire series since it premiered. Over time I’ve become completely unapologetic about liking pone, and now I typically watch the show when I’m at the gym (with headphones of course) to try and find other, stealthier ponybros in the wild. They’re more common than you’d think. Just be you, anon
>>41295403>I typically watch the show when I’m at the gym (with headphones of course) to try and find other, stealthier ponybros in the wild. >They’re more common than you’d think.Prepare your ass then. Most of them are going after your ponut.
>>41295018Spent a lot of time in (dare I say it) Discord that I wanted to see the unfiltered side of MLP fandom. I'm now here and no longer using Discord often
Hey since this is /newfag/ general, how do you spoiler a word or message
>>41295474Same as on Discord.
>>41295018I've been here for about 5 years. Not sure how I found it, guess I just opened 4chan one day and had no internest in any other board.
>>41295403Dude I would not tell ANYONE irl that I still keep tabs on this shit. Maybe I'd tell my future wife if I walked in on her one day after coming home early and found her wearing a pony shirt that she'd hidden while watching the show. MAYBE. How I didn't become a pariah for drawing Fluttershy in the middle of class is beyond me.
>>41295018I technically discovered this board due to an IHE video back in 2016 after I've left the fandom, but I didn't care to look at it until quite recently (perhaps late 2023 or 2024?)I'm sticking around because I like mares and this place reminds me of how the fandom used to be back in 2014. The community has changed too much compared to /mlp/, mostly due to an influx of commies and trannies. So it's nice to have a place where I can be a proud horsefucker and say the Z-word.
Thinking about the amount of actual zoomers trickling in is both heartening and worrying. On one hand, new posters coming in post-finale is still necessary for this board to stay afloat. On the other hand, I'm used to thinking of myself as an eternal newfag, and yet there's going to be an ever-growing population of posters for whom events that are, to me, very recent are just historical fact for them.For example, how many people posting on this board right now joined after "snowpity" became a meme, and for them it's basically always existed? In my mind, it's still a recent phenomenon: having happened a couple of years post-finale, it's practically brand new. One of the most notable memes of "recent /mlp/", contrasted with the ancient classics from the early days.But the proportion of posters for whom the difference between snowpity and IWTCIRD is nothing more than a year number in the archive - for whom, both are basically long-staying memes that were already here when they joined, the normal status quo that's always existed as long as they've been posting - will only ever grow with time.How soon until the majority of the board population has never even experienced the rise of mareschizo posting, and the shift from "I love pone" to "I love mares"? This isn't even something that's talked about all that often, so even diligent lurkers and archive-divers might not pick up on that for a while; how many people are posting here now, today, and aren't even aware that the word "mare" wasn't always an ubiquitous catchphrase on the board?Things that are recent history and new developments in my mind are slowly becoming facts of life, "just how it's always been", or at best historical footnotes to a growing portion of the population.Being an eternal newfag may not be all that eternal after all.
>>41295595I got here just after snowpity became a thing and it still feels new to me too.
Born in 2002. Discovered ponies in 2017, started browsing russian /mlp/ (which was already pretty dead by then), pretty soon moved over here. So, it should be around 6-6.5 years by now
>>41295018I'm on that gray zone that gets pushed between millenials and zoomers depending oh what's the cutoff, started watching pone in 2011 when I was 13, was vaguely aware of 4chan and /mlp/ during it but never bothered to check out, until I decided to do it around 2019 and been on this ride ever since
>>41295018was a fan of the show as an 8 year old in 2012, forgot about it for 10 years, am 20 now and "rediscovered" mlpI was already on other boards, like /v/, as a teenager
>>41295595I am a very new newfag (to this board in particular) as of about 6 months ago, and every meme you've given might as well be eternal to me
>>41295595Unf dashie plap dashie snowpity marepity unf mare IWTCIRD
>>41295018Idk if I'm a zoomist or a millennial since I was born right between the two and have nothing in common with either, but I migrated to 4chan a year or so ago after I realized the reddit mlp community is full of children, adult children, and fucking losers. I also got permabanned for calling people rude names and threatening to eat someone's dog (not kidding unfortunately). But here I can say the N-word and the people are actually cool, so I'm much happier. It's ironic that 4chan gets such a bad rep when the only difference from other sites is a lack of any filter and algorithm. Redditors are just as shitty except they're passive aggressive and condescending. People here have more of a sense of community, and since there isn't an algorithm I don't need to feel like I'm being lied or pandered to like on Twitter or Instagram.
>>41295633DUDUEG STOP WITH THIS SHIT OH MY FUCKING GODNO ONE FINDS THIS FUNNYTHIS IS PURE BRAINROT, YOUR PLACE IS ON DERPIBOORU WITH DISABLED FILTERS UNDER RD CLOP ARThollllly shittt these "oldfags" are fucking worse and more brainrotted than IPad kids
>>41295633Is this the future of newfags?
>>41295529please post the fluttershy drawings. litterbox them if you must
>>41295642Same ^
>>41295646>Fall for bait every single timeNever change, Nonny.
>>41295018Was a brony when I was like 12 but stopped watching the show around 2013. Now back at 23 after picking up the show again. I’m Also on /ic/ since 2018 but this board is the only place I post my pony-related art somewhat regularly.
>>41295595I'm pretty much a newfag, but I've done my fair share of digging through the archives of days gone by. I have actually noticed these cultural shifts that you list, but without even checking the archives. All by recalling some gaps in time from my lurking on this board. There is a fascinating shift indeed, but I do hope that the old traditions of this board still persist.
>>41295642>threatening to eat someone's doglmao why?
Zoomers finally taking back their show kek
>>41295595>>41295631Same with generals too, I distinctily remember when I joined in late 2014 the landscape of the threads that existed at the time was like the status quo for me. Later on I found out that some long-running threads had actually started quite shortly before I started lurking - such as /fimfic/ which literally started its life as a proper general in like early or mid 2014 IIRC.I wonder how many people now feel like the tf2 general or even /opg/ are just "things that /mlp/ has" because they joined after those threads were started.Like fucking hell, if you joined 6 months ago, /opg/ being always near the top of the catalog is probably the normal status quo for you.
I love horse pussy.
>>41295171Did you knew about the horse porn too at that age?
>>41295646>>41295651We will plap this board.
>>41295018I’m extremely new to not only this board but 4chan as a whole. It was actually the Pony Preservation Project that led me here about 5 months ago after I found a few AI pony videos on youtube.Initially I only visited this board for that particular thread. But one look at the greater catalog and I realised that I had found a better pony community than 99% of other places on the internet. I had almost come to terms with all pony places on the internet being either dead ruins or full of literal toddlers with an internet connection.I fell in love with this board in such a short time. Even though it’s only been a few months, I’d like to think that in that time I’ve picked up the board culture fairly well from visiting here daily. The show might be over but as long as new blood continues to find their way here slowly, this board and culture is going to stick around for a while. Most of us(including me) are just too obsessed to leave anyways.
>>41295018Born 7th January 2000. Joined the ride June 2011. MLP has been a bigger part of my life than my time alive without it. I'm eternally stuck in the 2011-2015 period of my life because thats when I was the most obsessed. Then due to the slow decline in quality of the episodes I lost my entire interest, especially due to the the season 5 episode 23 and the following lady gaga episode. Those episodes sucked so bad that after the season 5 finale I quit watching and basically stopped paying attention to the show until the finale aired. Since then I've watched where I left off at a snails pace. Sadly the quality of the show isn't recovering and I dread reaching the creature 6 arc. Seasons 1-3 is all I need, there's enough material there to last me til' I croak.>>41295595You caught the sensation of the passing of time quite well. I've never really lurked /mlp/ much until 2019 despite being a brony close to birth. So I recall quite many old milestones, being present (although a mere child) at Derpy's first voicelines, the buzz 'round Cupcakes, the 100th special, story of the blanks etc etc. Shit's ancient by now but still feel current and indicative of what it means to be a brony. Nowadays the kids are talking about that snowpity, mares, horsefucking. I personally enjoy those things but it is in a weird ironic way, as a desperate attempt by me to cling to a subject matter that screams 2010's and my childhood, as I am maturing into a man no longer innocent. I am having trouble letting go, and I don't want my esoteric horse knowledge to go to the bin without good reason. I'll forever be a shadowbrony, only ever letting those absolutely closest to me know this dark side of me, and I find this almost cheering to myself.
>>41295018I’m not gonna send you a picture of my asshole. My cousin is gen alpha and I’ve literally caught the guy lurking here sometimes.
It's good to hear that there are so many newfriends. I got into pony at around episode five of season one, and I had been a 4chan regular for half a decade by that time. I mostly dropped the pony stuff when the show ended, and coming back to places like this and Equestria Daily feels like walking through a graveyard compared to what things were like during the peak years. It's cool that the fandom is kept alive.
>>41295906>Shit's ancient by now but still feel current and indicative of what it means to be a brony.Thanks anon, you've revived my feeling of being an eternal newfag. Having just missed the first few golden years, those are the things that are "ancient history from an unspecified time past" that have always existed from my perspective.And I'm even older than you - I'm from that late 90s period where some people will call me a zoomer and others a millenial, depending on which generation they dislike more, and meanwhile I don't really connect to either - so having an actual zoomer be the oldfag to my newfag is fascinating.>>41295906>Sadly the quality of the show isn't recovering and I dread reaching the creature 6 arc.I often say that one of the biggest benefits of the show having ended is that there's no longer a "current season" that you "have" to be up to date on - the entire show is now out as one complete entity for everyone to peruse at their leisure. Back when it was airing, ignoring seasons 8 or 9 basically left you out from the people still actively watching the show, but now it only leaves you out from that tiny minority who care to discuss them - which, given their quality, is tiny indeed. So it's much, much easier to ignore all the parts of the show that are shit, and only enjoy the ones that are good.>Seasons 1-3 is all I need, there's enough material there to last me til' I croak.That's the spirit. Regardless of where you set the cutoff of purity, it's really easy to do it nowadays and just ignore everything else.Make sure you watch the specials too, both Rainbow Roadtrip and Best Gift Ever are pretty soulful and very out-of-place compared to the garbage of the mainline show episodes that were airing at the time.
>>41295041Happy 2 weeks anniversary!Here's to 2 weeks more!
I'm a millennial. Lol.
>>41295018Technically, I was vaguely aware of the fandom at age 10 (2012-2013), but didn't watch the show until I was 18 (2020). I probably wouldn't have done it if it wasn't for the fandom that existed on the imageboards.I came here sometime in the winter of 2023 when I was looking for information on AI models (I only really got interested in mares in December 2022, after I discovered character.ai). I stayed here because there are very few real horsefuckers on Russian forums and boards.
>>41295958Imagine a sweaty mare haha lol.
Imagine if this board were to be nuked the next day without warning. Where will you guys go next?
>>41295969Probably back to /co/.
>>41295970*/pol/
>>41295969back to my steam/discord circlejerknhnb or trash probably
>>41295018I've always known about this place but I stayed away from 4chan for the longest time because of all the "ironic" racism and such (one of the first posts I ever saw on here when I finally did take the plunge was literally just some picture of a black guy in a brony t-shirt where the caption was something like "WHAT IS THIS NIGGER DOING IN OUR HU-WHITE FANDOM????"). But i've learned to just deal with the stink and respond in kind
>>41295969Probably nhnb or /mlpol/.Problem is whenever something gets nuked, a lot of people usually don't really gather anywhere in an organised manner. Only a small subset of users will bother migrating somewhere else as refugees. I'd be very pleasantly surprised if our bunkers actually get used in such an event, but cynically, I fully expect there to basically just be a small circlejerk of expats huddling together, a mere shadow of the former /mlp/ and nothing at all like a proper migration.So I'll probably take part in those circlejerks, until and unless they become circlejerky enough and dead enough that even they aren't really worthwhile, and then probably drift off to quietly enjoy pony on my own without really talking to anybody about it
>>41295969Ponychan, nhnb, derpi/twibooru, create a whole new image board site for poni
>>41295987>create a whole new image board site for poniThat would unironically probably hurt things more than help them, unless there's unanimous feeling that one is needed. If the desire for one isn't unanimous, it would probably only just split the remaining userbase even more, leading to every place being even deader.Even if the existing places aren't ideal, users tend to not like migrating a lot (for example, /mlp/ has tons of flaws yet is still orders of magnitude more active than all of the alternatives combined). It'd be better to try to change existing websites (nhnb, /mlpol/, ponychan...) to be better, or deal with what exists if they refuse, than to fragment the userbase even more when some people migrate to your alternative but others staunchly refuse and in the end everyone is worse off.also>ponychananon...
>>41295974Every human is racist. Every race is racist. I am a very racist European and judging by your talk I guess you're a very racist African-American. But there is fun racism and there is mental asylum racist. According to me it is quite easy to differentiate them and treat the other as filler text.
>>41296003>Everypony is racist. Every race is racist. I am a very racist unicorn and judging by your talk I guess you're a very racist mudpony. But there is fun racism and there is mental asylum racist. According to me it is quite easy to differentiate them and treat the other as filler text.
>>41295969If this were to happen, would GR15 would be lifted? Because I cannot see this happening if GR15 were to be lifted.
I need you faggots to promise me that you won't just dissappear one day if shit gets nuked. That you won't give up and continue posting ponies somewhere elsePinkie promise!I don't want the ride to endplease
>>41296013They would have to use some other excuse for that not to be lifted. It would still be in place even after this board were to be nuked.
>>41296016This. GR15 will still be in place even with this board nuked.
>>41296008Okay Ms. T. Franklin the nigger of idw
>>41296020But why tho? That is completely retarded if they keep it in place even after this board gone.
>>41295974zebradom is cringe, but i love seeing that stupid fucking aryanne and those inferior hornheads be on the receiving end of it. keep belittling them and i'll be right there with you.
>>41296008My wife is so based...
>>41295018YouTube videos about mlp and 4chanLurked on and off since 2016.
>>41296028>But why>That is completely retardedYou answered your question yourself
>>41296031I'm starting to believe everypony here that says they hate zebradom actually really loves the concept on themselves but are too afraid to admit it and be bullied for beying le homo cringe
>>41296051>on themselvesimagine a whole ass herd of zebras bursting into your north american home, somehow making the trip from africa. why? to buttrape you. that's right, to stripe yo honky ass. wwyd? is it good? is it bad? do you know? will you survive? will rap music start playing? or will it be african tribal drum beats? the fuck are you talking about lil bro?
>>41296008Applejack and Rarity should wrestle in the mud for dominance
>>41296061>will rap music start playing?fucking KEK
>>41296051I'd rather be dominated by a higher being that literal pieces of shit. I may be a fag, but I have standards.
>>41295969Autistic ponyposting tirade on the rest of this website. This board is my home, no place can replace it, no /mlpol/, no NHNB, nothing would feel the same way, so if this place ends up dying due to the mods wills, I'll just spend my time ponyposting everywhere else, bans be damned
>>41295969I'll go to Mare Fair and we'll all figure something out there
>>41295018I want to say that I found BN King on youtube when he was streaming stuff other than mlp and eventually made it to his cytube and from there got linked or something to here and just never went back. This was maybe a month or less before the show ended
>>41296128This is the best option. I'd say NHNB, but then at Mare Fair we could all advertise and come to an in-person consensus as to the right website to use, advertising a'la trotcon at BC19
>>41296128>>41296136>let's all gather at our special circlejerk and agree together where we decree an official(tm) successor!
>>41296003I don't think i'm very racist. I mean, I grew up around people of all different races and cultures while still being connected to my black identity through family. A big reason I stopped supporting BLM and the black left is because that for all their talk about "racial reckoning" and "a national conversation" they didn't want to improve race relations or make things better for the community at all. They were just using the death of George Floyd as an excuse to bash whites. I love my people, but I couldn't get behind that. We were taught MLK's mantra that you shouldn't judge people by the color of their skin but the content of their character and I believe that should extend to everyone
>>41295595I'm not a zoomer (escaped by almost 2 years), but nevertheless I think people born in those years share a close kinship with the first zoomers, especially culturally.I actually recall the day moot created /mlp/ following the months long ban on pony content site-wide. The cultural shift that occurred on the internet in that time was completely unheard of. An internet subculture went from an almost insignificant little subgroup to a raging tide in a matter of months.Every single site was inundated with mlp content, people using ponies in their profile pics, sharing memes, music, art etc across their socials. In 2013 there wasn't a single place you could go to on the internet where you wouldn't see something MLP related.To me, all of this was both a few years ago and over a decade ago at the same time. I'm fully aware all of this happened in 2012/13, but the memories are so vivid it almost feels like it only happened a few years ago. All these people joining, the hard-set zoomers born in 2000+ who joined after the show ended, they have this history at their fingertips, an entire generations efforts and experiences packaged in a long archive of countless creative works and threads. But no matter what new memes are created post-finale, they will never have what we had, the first hand experience, being their when it all happened, when for that brief and glorious moment, MLP was the zeitgeist.
>>41295051better than /biz/
>>41296194You severely underestimate the number of children who were given free reign over their family's home computer or smartphones during pony's height. The fandom has always been majority target audience. Anyone born before the XBOX 360 can remember when pony was the big thing.
>>41296194Not a bad assessment but I think you're missing an entire age cohort there.People who were here during the peak, in 2011-2013, are pretty much going to be pre-zoomers. Assuming you have to be in your teens to participate properly, ideally even mid-teens, that means pre-2000 at least and probably like 1996-1998 or older. Even the most conservative classifications put zoomers at 1996 or later. So if you got here during the golden age (and weren't a pre-teen kid going terminally online), you're pretty much a millenial.Meanwhile the ones who only joined post-finale, meaning post 2019, are the ones born quite a few years after 2000 - again, saying teens to mid-teens, that's the 2004-2006 cohort. Clear zoomers, even almost bordering on gen alpha (especially since "after the finale" includes people joining today - someone born in 2010 would be a 14 year old alphfag now and could realistically find and join the board today).But everyone around 1998-2005 or so would be in the cohort where they probably joined somewhere between 2014 and 2019, depending on the age they got online and how quickly they found MLP and/or /mlp/. I joined in late 2014/early 2015 and I can tell you that, while things were definitely much more active than they are now, I really felt very clearly that I had joined the tail end of a golden age, that I had missed the peak, that zeitgeist you're talking about. Ponies were common on the internet, but most places were moving on. There was a huge trove of memes and content, but the current creation rate didn't match it. There were tons of early creators held up as legends - but they had already disappeared by then, some stopped producing, some slowed down drastically, some moved to other places, some disappeared from the internet. You could clearly see the traces of something amazing, but it was also already clearly in the twilight ages.Now in the past decade, lots of things have happened, I witnessed a lot of history, and of course things slowed down even more to where the 2014-2015 age looks like a boom compared to current times. But the fact is that I never experienced that true peak, the real golden age; for all the time I've been here, I've only ever witnessed slow decline - that's all I've ever known. The experience of seeing things blow up and grow is something that I will never share with anyone who was here just 2-3 short years before me, while that experience of decline and the setting twilight is something that I share with pretty much every zoomer and alpha who's joined at any time from 2015 to today.All this to say that>I think people born in those years share a close kinship with the first zoomers, especially culturallyThe "first zoomers" make up exactly that cohort of 1998/1999 to 2004/2005. And the only ones who share that experience of witnessing the peak are either the VERY first zoomers, literally 1997-1998, or maybe the lucky few who found this place as particularly young kids and still enjoyed it.
>>41296229I've definitely noticed how a lot of the nu-fandom is made up of people who were in the the target audience when the show first premiered. If you were a 7 year old girl at the height of pony you'd be an adult by now which is wild to think abt
>>41296192Favorite pony? Favorite princess?
>>41295018Found it due to the thread simulators. First lurked and interacted here since I was 13 in 2014
>>41296233>Ywn be able to groom the target audience anymoreWhy care?
>>41296281get hasbro to make G6 less shit, and you might get some fresh prey yet.
I’ve been here a little under half of my whole life, since between Seasons 1 and 2 of FiM if I had to guess, because I remember being here for the Crystal Empire shit. I think I found this place I shit you not through Icanhascheezburger and thought it was awesome, I only browsed /mlp/ and /asp/ until a few years ago. Though I’ve been into poni my whole life, I was raised with six sisters who all like Ponies by a single mom so MLP is just a part of my life I have no interest in leaving behind.
>>41296244Twiggy for both
98’ zoomer. Started watching the show in late 2011. Used to browse mlpchat for a couple of years before I discovered 4chan. First went on /b/ in summer 2014 to see just how degenerate it was. Decided to look at all the other boards and saw /mlp/. My mind was blow that the poners had their own board and I’ve been here ever since.Also just realized I was 13 when I got into the show and I’m now 26, so half my life has been dedicated to poniponi.
>>41296051No, I very readily admit that I will get off on the idea of being gangbanged by zebras and treated as their property, just as I do for ponies and griffons, whether male or female or futa.But I have a burning hatred for ponies being subjected to it. That is vile, disgusting, and repugnant even at a moral level.These two are not in conflict. The former is about getting fucked by someone, the latter is about destroying, degrading, and dragging down a person or even group. When others get off to characters being involved in zebradom they are not doing it out of attraction to the zebras, they are doing it out of envy for the characters on the receiving end. They enjoy the character being debased, humiliated, and corrupted. It's the same as cuckshit, which makes it no wonder why there's so much overlap.
>>41295529>Maybe I'd tell my future wife if I walked in on her one day after coming home early and found her wearing a pony shirt that she'd hidden while watching the show. MAYBE.This is why you have to make the first move with pone. How will you find someone who understands you if you won’t even be true to yourself?

>>41295018I was born on the turn of the millenium and started browsing in 2013ish, or at least I first looked at the board a little before then; it took a while for me to become a regular user because I was in middle school and I wasn't sure if I wanted to dive into evil 4chan. My approach was via cheezburger >>41296297, I actually browsed mylittlebrony for a long while beforehand, it was my front page of the fandom. I remember the massive disappointment of EQG and twilicorn drama - I don't recall if I was here on the board for the height of it when stuff came out, but I was definitely here when people were still really mad about twilicorn. I started tulpamancy soon after regularly browsing the board, crazy to think about.
>>41296477>I started tulpamancy soon after regularly browsing the board, crazy to think about.Oh yeaaah, that's right, tulpas were a huge thing for a long time around here. Always thought those people were retarded.
>>41296493they probably were but tulpas are legit, catch me at mare fair
>>41295969I'm FREEEEEE
>>41296232Very well put Anon. I know you hit the nail on the head here because this is my exact experience too. Got into pone late 2014 and started posting here mid 2015—age thirteen.I hope you're not too hung up on missing out like we did. We may have only known the 'twilight years', but we damn well enjoyed it, right?
>>41296477Are you the guy who hosted the 10th dashie anniversary tulpamancy panel on marecon?
>>41296583I am
>>41295018I was born late 2004 and got into MLP around 2014ish. Loved the show and eventually found this board through using this site. I just wish I was a little older so I could've gotten into the show and been on /mlp/ during its heyday back during the first few seasons.
>>41295672I think I threw them out ages ago, I was just following an online drawing tutorial anyway. I never learned how to properly draw stuff. Is it too late to start?
>>41295784As in bestiality? I was aware of it but I didn't dabble in it. As for clop, yes. I started jacking it to clop as soon as there was r34 available on paheal. I also wrote clopfics at the time and would frequent Flutterrape, AiE, and Fimfic for them.
>>41296449ponies are cute. i don't know what clicked in me. i had seen a thousand ponies before this board. but then i saw a specific one and it just clicked. the course of my life has been irreversibly changed

>>41296805Very cute. I wish I had one pic I could point to that did it for me. Closest thing I have is the intro to the first episode I watched.
I remember just becoming a brony back in the day, finding this board, and in utter disgust asking >Am I the only one here who doesn't want to fuck a horse?!
>>41295018Started seeing concentrated amounts of pony contents on YouTube for a period of time somewhere near lower half of 2023 that eventually led me to fighting is magic and BFEQD, then I thought "wow whats this deep passion for ponies about" then watched the show and looked for episode discussion forums that eventually led me here. Never looked back.
>>41296640>Is it too late to start?Never. I got my first drawing tablet earlier this year just to learn how to poniponi and have been having a blast with it so far. You should check out /bale/!
>>41295018Unfettered internet access led to me watching shed.mov at age 11. Then I want to say I watched the first few seasons that Netflix had and stopped since my family could see what I was watching. Fast forward to being a grown ass man and an /mlp/ antithology video on youtube got me to revisit/finish the series, as well as finding this site and board. Been a lurker as of like 3 days ago.
OP here. I originally made this thread to see if there were any underageb& tiktok teens sneaking in here for whatever reason, I have my suspicions. It's nice that a ton of you 20 somethings joining in; it makes me less worried about the future of this board and fandom. Some of you have been here for a good chunk of time while others of you are very fresh newfags, that's good to see as well. Every now and then I feel like mlp is gonna get this huge resurgence of popularity. I'm hoping I'm right. Anyway have fun faggots /)
>>41296015"Pinkie"? Who's that? I can Ponka promise you, thoughthe ride will end someday, but so does everything else ^:)

got into the fandom 2012 when i was [underb&], stopped at too many pinkieswas a dashfag and had an unironic crush on her thru 2013got high one sunday anoon a year ago and watched the whole shownow im a flutterfag
>>41295895>The show might be over but as long as new blood continues to find their way here slowly, this board and culture is going to stick around for a whileThe interesting and nice thing is there is a silver lining to all of the wider fandom and other sites becoming desolate/abandoned/shuttered/etc... and even with /mlp/ becoming slower over the years. It was incredible to watch from early 2011 onward, as over the years pony had its surge of popularity, it's run of pop-culture significance, and with all of that came bandwaggoners that liked it because they could use it to look "counter-culture" and whatnot. After it became more well known and the show started to taper off, they left for other places where they could keep that "flavor of the month" hype and popularity so that they were constantly riding only the highs of things - Fairweather Faggots. Musicians got their pony run and moved on, thousands of artists moved to being full-time furries, etc...What is left when these kind of people are gone? The ones who actually legitimately care about the actual show, content, and community, those who are personally invested in it, and most importantly - those who have a passion for it and want to see it always be its best. This passion is often called autism, perhaps rightfully so, but I believe it is still that passion that keeps this ride going and still makes pony fun and fulfilling to be a part of. I am surprised to see the amount of newfags that have shown up since 2019 and the show ending. With G% being a dumpsterfire, and most of that part of the mlp fandom staying on twitter, it's good to see that new people are coming around and bothering to hop in to the board culture and fun of things.
been here for around a month, only started watching the show itself a couple months ago
>>41297346Poni is an unique thing and /mlp/ is an unique board, everything about both is the result of unique conditions that will never be met again, it can't go back to it's peak, but it will endure, because it's built upon the most passionate faggots in this whole damn website. No other board would be capable of making the amount of stuff /mlp/ is capable of, even the ones that have many times more posters than we do

Fell out of love with the show for a few years but still kept up by binging each half of a new season, following big fandom projects/musicians, and watching the move in theaters. During covid I fell back in love with the show and fandom and was also looking for livestreams of niggeriots, found the later at /pol/ and had streams playing in the background while lurking here. Pretty sure pic related was the first thing I got from this board.>>41295969>>41297399A few years back I would have suggested /mlpol/ but recently they've put more focus into the 'pol' and less into the 'mlp'. I love my small discord circlejerks but it's shit for bringing in new people and keeping fandoms alive. And with the internet so hyper-centralized now I don't think making a new site is viable. IMO Best option would be to forcefully hijack some site that's fallen but still has some relevance, making the majority of it's content and users ponyfags. Like hijacking tumblr or myspace. That way there's still some links to the centralized internet to funnel newblood through.

This is only the second thread I've been on. I remember FiM from childhood (25 now) and the original brony subculture but was not part of it. I recalled aspects of the show though, like Derpy and Celestia. Then I gave Equestria at War a chance about a month ago and then decided to watch the series because fuck it, and from then, well, I got quite invested in the series from there, as I found the show to be extremely masculine, sweet, endearing, and almost addictive. Plus, the animation is top notch and the characters have nice depth and distinction. I'm through to the fourth season now.I've been on 4chan for about a decade though, just never came on here. I largely stick only to /c/ and /fit/ nowadays, though years ago I spent time on /r9k/, occasionally /pol/, /his/, etc. My heart remembered Derpy the most, though, and the active thread about her was the first I went to on this board. I should note that I may not stay, as the board seems quite deranged (perhaps by time and due to its status as a containment board?), at an /a/-tier to me.
>>41305608I should note I enjoy EaW very much too, it's a nice break from regular HoI IV drivel; I wanted a change in between semesters (graduate now, not college). Also, the fact that my life is shit certainly draws me to fantasy like that of Equestria.
>>41305621Not that anyone asked, but that I am now the age at which the average brony seemed to be back in the heyday of the series is a very odd sensation to me. You know some of them died, some moved on, others are still active in the subculture. But you never really know unless you know them personally, and I never have.
>>41305608>the board seems quite derangedStick around long enough and it'll happen to you too
My brother introduced me to poni around season 2-3. I learned about the board around the same time from pony thread simulator. I lurked occasionally up until 2020 when my love for mares was reawakend and I started posting regulqrly. Crazy how this place has been a thing for close to half my life.
>>41305608>at an /a/-tier to me.Ah c'mon, we don't have as many mexicans
early 20's herewas a loser in middle school then i found mlp around the time i started going to high school. showed my friends, they all made fun of me, but i stuck with it. the thing that keeps me coming back is honestly the counter culture. i love mlp but i love /mlp/ even more.t. no tiktok snapchat anything like that
bump
>>41306266The fact that being a fan of cute, colorful, magical ponies is considered counterculture will always be funny to me
>>41303999>Is it worth getting if I don't draw on paperThe skills translate pretty seamlessly between traditional and digital art, though I like having a tablet because it allows me to draw whatever and however I want, whenever I feel like it. That said, the medium doesn’t ultimately make that much of a difference and everyone has their preferences, so just do whatever works for you.>and was never much of a sketcher growing up?As long as you have passion, nothing else matters. You’ll gain experience with time.
>>41295018>Hey zoomers browsing this board! How did you find this place and how long have you been here?You kinda make it sound like zoomers are new to mlp when a lot of anons in /mlp/ started off around middle school when the show came out. And to answer your question, I started watching the show when I was 12-13 when it first came out, but I took a break around season 4 and came back when I heard the show was near its end. I feel a little bad for missing out on the show and the culture around it when the series was still running strong and you can imagine my surprise to see some of the unflattering episodes/jokes/canonized fan theories when watching the seasons I missed.
>>41295974That is a legit funny picture tho. t. pro internet racist
>>41295974I don't like my own race either but I like mares.
99 baby here. I remember my first exposure to pony content was one of my friends showing me the very first anthology. From there I ended up stumbling across one of those old pony thread simulators that brought me here. I mostly lurked for fear of accidently revealing that I was underageb& . It was still very fun being along for the ride though. I remember falling off the board(and pony) pretty hard at one point. It wasn't the wings, or the barbie stuff or Glimmer that threw me off, but it was that damn Flurry Heart episode. I was so angry when I checked the catalog before watching that episode and saw that stupid baby. I was convinced that Hasbro had, in one fell swoop, ruined everything that I cherished about the show over the years and that it was going to start appealing to babies now. Other than keeping the threads of my favorite greentexts bumped, I basically stopped engaging with anything else pony related.It wasn't until the anniversary stream last year that I got the desire to tune in and watch the show again and remembered everything I loved about the show itself was still there. And now I'm back to checking the board daily, and trying to create what I can to make up for lost time. It's been a fun ride. I am still a little confused on why everyone on this board hates frogposters now though. That wasn't a thing when I left
>>41295529Post the flooters
>>41310154Because a demographics shift happened in /mlp/. Back then, the board was mostly bandwagoners and barbiefags who would move mountains to avoid talking about ponies. They would literally talk about different shows and politics and stuff. Frogposting is, evidently, not pony. These days, the bandwagoners were purged through a culture of forcing conversation about ponies and FiM. The culling of bandwagoners and offboarders has tons of evident advantages, including board projects and conventions that couldn't have been possible otherwise. Frogposting has thus become a counterculture symbol for non-pony, offboard, twitter liberal, barbiefag and furry content.TLDR: Frogposting is non-pony. Gatekeeping works.
>>41295018Idk how I ended up here, but I've been here since 2019. However, I only made my first thread this year.
Drifted here from /tg/ and /co/ in like 2020/2021? I really dont remember, only really started posting here cause my love for MLP has been somewhat rekindled, only lurk in some threads mostly cause I am not a big fan of the really horny and fetishy side of this board, P.S I am also the person that has been making the FOE generals again and probably be the only one to make them in the near future.
>>41305642I hate that you're right.
>>41297514Do you refer to the music and whatnot? /a/ has done some of that.
>>41297502Based newfriendThere’s no better place to join the ride than with the engineers
>>41311359Other boards did one thing or another, /a/ has r/a/dio, /v/ has /v/ the musical, /sci/ had some sort of breakthrough in math, /lit/ makes a yearly book recommendation list, /vp/ made Pokémon Clover, /b/ technically was responsible for Katawa Shoujo. But none was responsible for so much stuff as /mlp/ is, especially after 2019
I first got into pony in 2022 after a friend who’s been in the fandom for a long time introduced me and I’ve been stuck ever since. Made my way onto /mlp/ about a year ago once I noticed how much better the communities and discussions are here. Question for you anons where do I find people who have been in the fandom for a while to talk poni with? I have the one friend who got me into pony but it’s hard to find people who are committed to the show and not a faggot.
>>41312117Go to mare fair :^)
>>41312117its gotten understandably harder ever since the show ended, and g% isnt doing anyone any favors. Unless you want to try your luck at discord servers (which are likely to be shit and run by faggots), unironically the best option might be to try to attend conventions (like >>41312157)and actually physically meet people to talk with.

>too old for fillyphilia to be normal>too young to play the sleazy uncleLife is hard for the 20-something filly fondler.
When did I join the ride? 2011, I was 9 and it was the fad going around the lunch table.When did I find out about this place? Opening day, saw the EqD post for it.When did I start lurking? Once that one thread where the guy that worked at a movie theater was leaking Rainbow Rocks screenshots, I had to have been 12 or something When did I start posting? Got real sick and tired of EqD as I grew older, right around the time we started learning more about the movie so I'd say...late 2016 post election? Ever since then I never really left. I started branching out and posting on other boards and even when I briefly grew out of pony for a bit I still came to check up on this place every few days just to keep up to date. I'm 22 now and mentioning my MLP phase helped me get laid like 3 months ago so I feel a sense of loyalty to this dumb horse cartoon. Its earned its place in my personal "thing I was into as a kid that I'll cherish forever and enjoy till I'm in the retirement home" hobbies
ive come and gone on this board and first found it several months ago from long video essays regarding mlp history and the fandom. i got curious to see whats up. i get some laughs here and there from some things being said and others is just straight up sad with the petty arguments, bizarre topics and horrific concepts. but thats just the nature of 4chan so cant complain. other than that its fine.
>>41312117I'll be your pony fren, whats your dicksword? ^:)
>>41312014>2019I.e. when the show ended?
>>41312117you could try dicksword if thats your sort of thing but you'll mostly find absolute garbage.your best bet for finding fellow "based horsefuckers" is to hang around the threads that do stuff outside of 4chan, like the gaming ones, tf2, gmod etc, youll probably find some ppl who you get on well with and you can add them on steam and stuff
>>41295018>watched the show when it was airing in like 2014/15, lurked on /mlp/ for a bit because I saw Pony Thread Simulator, but never really posted>lost interested in pony>rediscovered pony this year because I found out FiM ended and decided to start watching it again cus of nostalgia>naturally found my way back hereI've just finished season 1 and have been posting here for like 4 or 5 months now.
>>41305633I've also thought about it and i feel the same way. Honestly, i wish i were born a decade earlier, this way i would've been 18 when the series came out. A perfect age at a perfect time to be in the middle of that storm of pony
>>41312264still only into the unicorn version but yeah every copy of twilight is personalized (to trap you in Equestria forever)a great fear of mine is going to equestria and her not being all that interested in me other than just being polite and scientifically intrigued or whatever. it seems like the most likely outcome
>>41313020Same. I have a deep nostalgia for the '90s even though I was born in its last year. A kind of Weltschmerz-like nostalgia.
>>41312960>TF2, GmodOh man. Childhood loves of mine. TIL that's a thing on here. Granted I've only been here for like three days. But still.
liked mlp casually for a while, i liked it as a little kid, but one of my friends got me really into it again. ive been lurking for less than a year. im in the age range of the new troon 'mlp fans' its gay only liking the old part of the fandom that im not allowed to be in.
About 5 minutes
>>41313252yeah the young part of the fandom is really ass ove noticed. every single mlp pfp I click on tiktok ends up being some lgbt crap or leftist retard.
>>41312014I mean we got faust to do a q&a here didn't we? It made everybody else seetheI hope she returns someday
Imagine caring about what year you lurked and started posting, I’ve probably been here for more than 2 years but who cares. Janitors are too scared to deal with the twitter namefag socialjerk menace that’s in /opg/ and other areas of the website. I do know for a fact that I’ve witnessed the deletion of the IP counter by hiroshimoot for tourist election season, so that’s fun. Normally you faggots would’ve begun rioting but you’re so weak that a 3 day ban scared you, had there been a ban log I would’ve probably been on my 20th+ ban.
>>41313292Tbh what can we do about hiro removing ip counter?
>>41313292holy shit you sound annoying
>>41313269My brother in Celestia, what are you doing on that godawful app? That's like going to a red-light district and being surprised at seeing hookers.
>>41313394There's some good stuff there and videos you can't find any where else. I'm not surprised they're there, just surprised that every single profile without fail has been one of those tumblr types so far.
Joined in Spring 2012 when I was 13. First caught my attention through Youtube Poops and Skyrim mods. I was a bit of a social pariah already, so it was nice finding a community that gave me a sense of belonging. The fandom and show was a pretty big part of my formative years, and it’s nice to occasionally come back and reminisce. I often wonder if I'd be a happier person had I stuck around with the show past season 4.
>>41313292>Imagine caring about what year you lurked and started posting>Here’s how long I’ve been here and how many times I’ve been banned, I totally don’t care but please give me attention anyway b-bakaIf you’re going to act tsundere at least try to be appealing
>>41312938Correct, once the show ended the amount of finished projects shot trough the roof>>41313290We did get Faust, and Larson
>>41295018never really came here around 2013, used reddit. Only started going on /mlp/ regularly recently, within a month or two. Always been browsing v and pol.>>41295051/mlp/ is a /pol/ board>>41295195r9k is a really pathetic board>>41295111I'm 28!>>41295969Probably ponyville dot us, but no point because if the board was deleted GR15 would also go away. We would migrate to co and trash.>>41295974Literally nobody is not racist. Only American liberals pretend they aren't (while treating black people like children who need to be given everything for free.)Blacks and Mexicans hate white people.
>>41296233>tried to romance one example of that (I'm late 20s they are early 20s)>failIt's a lot more complicated than that but yeah.
>>41314004I wonder why that is. Were people upset with what happened? Usually fandoms decline after a series ends, not rebound.
>>41313430>>41313394actually scretch that, there's like one based zoomzoom therehttps://litter.catbox.moe/zf7g0n.mp4https://litter.catbox.moe/3bkva9.mp4
>>41314383>asian>cucktale as old as time.
>>41295171How the hell is a zoomer a bigger oldfag than me?
>>41314049>literally nobody is not racist
>>41315330Look at her go
>>41315899Honestly, of all the ponies, another party pony and one voiced by Weird Al makes sense to me, if they had to eventually evolve personal relationships (which I think was not ideal).
>>41315899https://files.catbox.moe/7ej8y4.webm
damn, jannies got to it before I could even report it
>>41295018browsing 4chan with a friend while discord calling for shits and giggles. decided to troll him by showing him this board because I knew he'd hate it. he indeed did hate it, but I also realised how cute and sexy mares are, so I remained.
>>41318036which mare do you find the hottest?
>>41318049that's a tough one. I look mostly for cuteness in mares. but really I love them all, I've been somewhat bouncing around different favourites, twilight is great because she's a nerdy dork, and also because she's purple, I also really liked rainbow dash because of her demeanor, mane, and because she's blue, also lyra because she's blue. roseluck's mane is really pretty and nurse redheart also does something for me. I also think wallflower blush is really hot but that doesn't count as amre. In the end i'll clop to anything as long as I like the writing style or artstyle, but I also love looking at sfw arts of cute mares and lovey romance fics.also fuck 4chan for making you do the captcha before telling you to turn off your vpn. tell me beforehand you cucks.
>>41318092>Lyra is blueAnon...
>>41295018First started watching the show in 2018 right before season 8. I knew that this board existed but I never visited until after the show ended around January of 2020, but I've been here ever since
>>41297388Diggie Pie cute
>>41296805devilishly adorable
>>41314049>/mlp/ is a /pol/ boardHe doesn't know...
>>41319506What doesn't he know?
>>41318036Do you remember which specific image got you hooked?
>>41319788To make a long story short>2017 april fools had boards fuse>/mlp/ and /pol/ fused>horse fuckers memed so hard it scared away all the election tourists>Turns out a lot of anons on /pol/ like pones and anons on /mlp/ are into politics>After it was over, the site /mlpol/ was made
>>41318589she's like minty blue or something get off me
>>41313431>Youtube Poops and Skyrim modsThose were the fucking days dude
>>41295018Gen Z death immediately in real life.
>>41320212>Idiots still talk about this dayIt was all frog spam. Barely any ponies, but yeah go ahead.
>>41295018Been here since i was 13. Pls no ban
>>41316657thank you for reminding me this exists
>>41295018I really wanted an Anon Filly plushie around 2022 when the 2.0 plushies were in production, that's also how I discorved floor bored...even before that I was talking to the fillies on ponytown in 2021 I blame the green filly and neetwife for my downfall
>>41321027As an old Gen Zer, I support this motion.
>>41321021Yes they fucking were. Flash games, Machinima, Defend the House, RvB, mans1ay3r, the last hurrahs of the golden age man.
>>41295018>How did you find this placeI can't remember.>how long have you been hereSince 2016, though I lost interest in the show for the last few years and only recently came back.
>>41321542>I showed up in 2016Is the board at a point where it's ironically 'cool' to admit that now or something.>"Left and came back"Wow if only we had bingo cards for this.
>>41321553>Is the board at a point where it's ironically 'cool' to admit that now or something.I'm not clued in enough to know if it is; I just answered honestly.
>>41321553I mean, it's a question the OP asked. Take it up with OP if you have an issue.
>>41295018I stumbled upon the show in 2021 and have been a ponyfag ever since. It's my guilty pleasure. Made me start drawing too again lmao.
>>41321553Posers are coming back by the thousands because normies invaded their "cooler" niche online communities during lockdown. Really fucking sad stuff. And they just admit it freely like we're gonna give them a big welcome back hug or something.
>>41321628I came back because I remembered what I enjoyed about the show years ago and rewatched it, so I wanted to see what this board was saying about it. I still see a good discussion or a nice image every so often.>normies invaded their "cooler" niche online communities during lockdownI don't know what you're referring to.>they just admit it freely like we're gonna give them a big welcome back hug or somethingI didn't expect any particular reaction, although it wouldn't have put me off if I'd thought it was going to bother anyone. Anyway, this is an anonymous site; we have no reputations to maintain.
>>41321666Nice damage control, satan.
>>41321621post tarts

>>41316657Delete this
>>41295018I joined for G5 unironically, stayed for make your mark and when that ended I stopped browsing. I only come here once or twice a month now because there's nothing to be excited for. Tell your tale is boring and so are the comics. I'll probably stop being into pony if hasbro doesn't make a good product soon
>>41295018Was already a ponyfag since In early teen years, at some point I started using 4chan in my late teens because Youtube told me it was full of cool funny badass dangerous hackers. Now that I'm here I talk about the cartoon horses I wanna have sex with.
>>41297346>OP here. I originally made this thread to see if there were any underageb& tiktok teens sneaking in here for whatever reasonThat happened in the mid 2010s but instead of tiktok it was vine.
I'm probably not the target for this post because '98, it's a weird limbo between generations, and I discovered this place in 2011, but since English is not my native language I didn't interact with anons until years later
What worries me is that while we still think about zoomers, true brain rot gen alphas are slowly finding this place as well, the oldest ones are about 13 right now, are zoomies and alphas wise enough to hold this place together?
>>41324671Depends on hasbro really. G4 had shit toys, and no games what really caught the attention of nerds was the show, fan works, fan merch, and it's similarities to stuff like moe anime. Of course lots of girls cartoons are like this, and they're usually still pretty niche despite having the same character tropes, and cute stuff, etc. G5's a bust let's be real we'd have to hope G6 is good enough to attract late gen Z's and early gen A's otherwise we'll all be the last horsefuckers.
>>41324949G6 has no hope with the industry being what it is. Hell, they were caught using AI generation for G5, what the hell does that say?
>>41325004>they were caught using AI generation for G5That was bullshit.
>>41324656'99 here. I agree completely about the limbo.
>>41295027This is optimal
>>41295027Time to out myself as a newfag on the board. What was Pony Thread Simulator? I don't remember it from my childhood; I remember the show.
>>41326985https://youtu.be/gFi8cm5kim8
1998 chads rise up. Any born earlier are eternal oldfags and any born after are eternal newfags. This will be true until I die, then everyone must fight for the throne.
I was 12 and browsing a Facebook group called Bronies United in 2014 where I was exposed to the magic of shitposting and copypasta. I thought it was hilarious so after they started cracking down I followed the shitposters to their groups. This board was always mentioned quite a lot so I eventually found my way here.
>>41327154>Bronies UnitedThis was one of the biggest brony facebook groups right? Is it still around?
>>41295018got onto 4chan back in 2013, briefly was into mlp mostly on /ck/ and /tg/ thoonly when covid hit did I get back into pony
>>41327043Completely correct, kingNeither zoomer nor millenioomer, neither oldfag nor newfag, we are the true balance
>>41295018I used to come here to laugh at how retarded you all are.Then I realized I really kept coming back for pone.
>Mfw I realise that I am talking to an everchanging bunch of newfags, tourists and returnfags that only stay for a couple of months and then leave. No real anonymous bonds here, just facades
>>41328075>anonymous>bondsThe point of anonymity is that there aren't any bonds, only post content matters.
>>41295018original 2012 pony invasion of the internet made underage me avoid any kind of horse media like a plague until a month ago when a friend convinced me to groupwatch it. ponies have been living rent-free in my head since, even if i'm a decade too late for the ride
>>41295018brony for a few years now, couldn't find anyone on discord entertaining enough to talk to, now ive been on here lurking for a few years, and now i rarely chat here.
>>41295018i have been summerfagging on /b/ /x/ and /pol/ sometimes lurked on /k/ since the 2016 elections. i knew about this board but i have started visiting since a few months ago. i used to watch mlp as a little brat on the tv before i fucked of to school every morning and found the show surprisingly engaging and interesting despite it being targeted towards girls, i recently picked it up again to properly watch it.
>>41295529damn, i used to draw twilight (because that´s the only pone i knew how to draw and actually be recognizable) on my desk and notebooks in highschool. everyone knew and i never got shit for it. well that´s propably because i wasnt a socially akward fuck and had friends so i guess i just wasnt the first choice to bully
>>41328083he is just a discordfag in denial
>>41328093Fuck off back to discord G5 shitface
>>41328083Skill issue
>>41328419Putting my paranoia to use identifying faggots on a korean basketweaving forum is not a skill I want to have
>>41328083You wouldn't get it...
