Guest, The MLPTP's Fundraiser and Prize Giveaway will be returning on June 1st! Check out this thread for all the latest news!
I agree.I find myself missing more and more people who have become inactive or less active. I know they all have reasons. Just sad to see them so little or not at all.
Mostly I meant this forum in particular. It's great to have lots of new collectors, I just miss the originals, too.I agree.
I just woke up from dreaming about an old college friend.
When I dont remember or know their last name consequently can't find them online, I wonder what people have done with their lives.
Or did you mean you miss people posting online here?
Yeah it would be more fun if there were people posting more often or former members were to return.Mostly I meant this forum in particular. It's great to have lots of new collectors, I just miss the originals, too.
It does apply to others, too, though.
Yeah. I miss @tulagirl a lot. I sent her a card but didn't get a reply. I hope she's alright.
I know you had her address... but for everyone elseI completely relate to this. So many of our good friends no longer frequent the boards. Having come and gone myself a few times, I know that life can just get too full, and too stressful to have time for online friends and even the hobbies we enjoy. I really enjoy all the newer members we have and know this will always be a welcoming place. But yes. I miss those good friends I made when I very first joined.
Did you meet them just on the Message Board, talk over Direct Messages, or met in person?
All of the above. Back in the day we had a "chat room" that several of us would sit in for hours chatting and visiting. We became a pretty close knit group for a while because we shared so much of our daily time. Because I have moved around the country so many times, I actually have gotten to meet three of that group of TP friends, which has been very cool.
I miss some of the old members who know why but life and time get in the way. I love to meet some of my friends on here one day.
I live in boring Alabama we never have meet ups. So sadly I have never meet other pony people.Back when I was most active (before being driven/intimidated away) I would often (a couple times a year) see meet ups and conventions listed.
Just wondering, where do you live and how did your meet ups go?

No I said I love to meet some of my friend in person I think you mean a person a few post above me. Never met anyone on here but I have spoken to a few friends on here via phone a few time and texted a few other friendsYeah 1 on 1 meet ups are a lot different than conventions, and big group meet ups...
How did it go when you meet those 3 people in person?
No I said I love to meet some of my friend in person I think you mean a person a few post above me. Never met anyone on here but I have spoken to a few friends on here via phone a few time and texted a few other friends
I know sadly I am a lonely rarity collector who has no one in her state that has meet up or if they do close enough to go to.If there are Conferences or Conventions (and other Trading Post Members announce that they plan on going), then you maybe able to meet others...
Otherwise the only options are what you've already done.
I, too, haven't met any pony friends in person. There recently has been a pnw pony meet, but, with my social anxiety, I don't know if I could. There's several people I would absolutely love to meet. The md pony meet sounds a-maz-ing!
@Sunkissed I have to take psychological breaks sometimes from feeling scared or intimidated away sometimes. I had a bad experience elsewhere. I just love the people here so much. I won't let myself completely disconnect for more than a week. Even my psychologist says that this group sounds awesome.
So weird that you mentioned @tulagirl. I recently had a strange dream about the forum here and she was in it (among others).Yeah. I miss @tulagirl a lot. I sent her a card but didn't get a reply. I hope she's alright.
