A thread to discuss My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and the tie-in media.
All of the usual forum rules
apply. In addition, please remember that the thread is discussing a kids' show, and it's primarily focused on the work itself, not the fanfic — in particular, we don't want to see lewdness creeping in.

He really misses the thread, mainly because it served as his only real connection to the fandom through interacting with us.
I've helped to try and ease him onto participating in the Skype group, but only time will tell.
Long live Cinematech. FC:0259-0435-4987@Lum: A bit of unpleasantness in OTC, I think? Or something to do with mods. I'm not sure of all the details.
Birthright: an original web novel about Dragons, the Burdens of Leadership, and Mangoes.He let his anger get the best of him one too many times.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayOh yeah, For River is great. (I also love Spiral of Secrets). The only reason I didn't mention To The Moon is that I already got it last summer.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayI'm tempted to make a troper petition to beg for the mods to bring him back. Maybe, just maybe if all of us sign and agree on the condition that he only stays on this thread, they might let him back. I know he's really, really messed up in the past, but he was our friend, and relied on us for contact and friendship for years. This is more than about online squabbles and flaming, this is our friend.
And I'd risk my own banishment if it meant giving him a last fighting chance.
Hm... Something occured to me. For hose who are afraid this franchise is being inentionally anti-romance (which I don't think it is anyway. I think it's more to do with the aesop-driven nature of most episodes. Somehing has to go wrong to teach a lesson.), it occurs to me that the comic series has a few stories were a romance is played more straight. The how Cadance and Shining Armor met arc and the pirate arc come to mind in particular.
So there's that.
I say "more straight", because I still don't really agree with that assessment of the show's outlook.
I have a message from another time...![]()
Oh man, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend or accuse anyone. I only meant to bring up the comics as a counterpoint to perhaps give those who were worried about that topic something a bit more encouraging. I felt it was good to clear the air a bit after the way I went on yesterday.
I missed roughly a week's worth of discussion, if that helps explain why I didn't think to not bring it up.
And I'm sorry if I came on too strong in emphasizing my position. I honestly don't want to stir anything up, so that now strikes me as a bad move.

I have a message from another time...Also, Apple trying to get other posters unbanned probably didn't do him any favors with the mods, even if it was unrelated to what actually got him banned.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayI'm torn. On the one hand, he was very instrumental in helping get me unbanned and I feel like I should support him just for that and for the fact that I count him as as good a friend as you can get online. On the other, I don't think that there's any reasonable chance of convincing the mods to let him back on and I'm not sure it would be the right thing either, since he knew going into that final event what he was doing and what the consequences would be. I didn't know Applelight had a DA account though, so if one of you could point me in that direction I'd like that.

I don't think there is the slightest chance, Dark. I mean, he already tried promising to stay out of OTC at one point when he was still around - even talked the mods into banning him specifically from OTC, which is something they've never done before - and couldn't keep that promise. He talked them into lifting his self-requested ban, and less than a week later he was in trouble again from OTC. Add his post-bounce ban evasion, and I don't think there's the slightest glimmer of hope for him being allowed back in.
