I joined in 2008. But I didn’t start posting topics and comments until 2010. It seems to suggest the last time I posted something was in 2012. I became much more active on Mlp Arena in 2009. A horror film had terrified me and I needed something light-hearted to calm me down. I abandoned My Little Pony Trading Post because at that time, I liked Arena more. Of course I came back though like I said between 2010-2012, just not actively. On a side note, I’m not a collector. I’m just a G1 fan who had the toys in my childhood and watched the cartoons. I used to enjoy roleplaying on Arena until they decided to ban roleplaying. That drove us (me and few others) off site to find other G1 My Little Pony Role Play Games elsewhere on the internet. When Arena had close and move to another location, I became less active because compared to the original forums which was full of life, this new location seemed less exciting and very boring. I’m guessing a lot of ex-Arena members returned to Trading Post? I came back to Trading Post for a bit and then left because I was bored.

I had a change of interest and started looking for Disney or Star Wars or The Dark Crystal forums. Tried different ones out but didn’t find a permanent home until 2017 when I joined Fanpop and became a regular active member of the Disney Princess Fanclub until a few months ago when it became less active with lots of regular members leaving. The only people who go on there since then are newcomers, trolls, lurkers and occasionally an ex-regular who hasn’t visited the club in years, might drop in for a quick chat. Yep, it’s a dead club.

In 2014, I was depressed and wanted to get G1 Ponies that I wanted but never had as a child. Mum found a second hand seller and bought me Milky Way, Galaxy and Princess Amethyst. I love G1 Unicorns! I only remember having Majesty and Twirler as a child. But I lost Majesty unfortunately somehow. Galaxy is my favourite character in the tv show. But the toy version of her clashed with the colours in my room - purple, fuchsia pink and aqua. Galaxy was the UK version. Plus her eyes freaked me out. What is wrong with me? As a child and teenager I loved twinklE eyed ponies the cartoon and the toy version, I thought they were beautiful. But now whilst they’re still beautiful to me, their eyes scare me. Or maybe it’s just Galaxy’s eyes, specifically the colour of them. If you’ve seen haunted house or possessed toy horror movies, you’ll know what I’m talking about. Her eyes were scary and her colour scheme clashed with the room so we resold her and someone bought her.

Fast forward a few years and I got Princess Misty. Then a few months after that I got Starflash. A few years later I got the special 25th anniversary version of Windy - she is scented and smells like cherries. And then more recently I got the special 25th anniversary version of Glory. My bedroom colours have changed but let’s just say Princess Misty and Starflash are my favourite ones at the moment and they compliment the room and it’s pictures nicely. Got a purple, pink and blue theme. The rest of the ponies except for Glory have been put away in a box. Glory is on the dressing table with deluxe dresses and special editions of Disney’s Rapunzel, Aurora and Belle with a dark pink, dark blue and dark purple colour scheme. So yeah, I’m a mini-collector. I’m only allowed to get special looking ones that don’t clash with my colour themes in my bedroom. Don’t have lots of space anymore, since I moved out.

Anyway I’m back and looking forward to post again. I’m not going back to Arena. I’m from England.
 
This is the first forum I've been on since 2010. They always seem to go through periods of activity, die-off, or become toxic/implode from cliques forming on them.

I bet you've seen a bunch of the latter!

This one is kind of slow, I think it's because we're older and life stuff.

I like Galaxy. I've had her since I was...2? I've always liked ponies with bold color choices like orange or red hair or bodies.

She's not a unicorn, but would Princess Dawn also go with your colors? And they're multicolored but the petites are tiny options for a collection.
 
Hello!

Welcome back! I hope you enjoy your stay!

Social media is what has made forum sites run slower because those give instant gratitude!

But for this being my 1st forum to ever really be part of, I’ve enjoyed it my whole time here ❤️

It’s a little slower paced, but a lot less stressful or catty

I also found it very easy to use :)
 
Hiya! I'm Mintyeon! The resident mint fanatic and lovable cinnamoroll of the post!

I've only been on one other form which was my first online experience at 18 (in 2016 I think) and that was Ravelry which was a super quiet community.

I was on there pretty much exclusively for about two and a half to three years.

Throughout those two or so years, my little sister @my little pony collector was on the trading post and I'd always be looking over her shoulder and asking her to post things for me like "tell them my sister says!" It got so bad that she broke down and yelled at me "why don't you just get your own account already!" So I did lol!

My initial hesitance to join the group was because I only collected variants of my favorite Pony Minty and I felt that I wouldn't be accepted by the community because I only had one McDonald's Minty as my "collection" lol I'm so happy I was proven to be wrong! and I couldn't be happier! Through the help and passion of the post, I've been able to grow a small army of my beloved Minty! And even replace my childhood G1 flat foot Minty!

Since then I've been pretty much on the post every single day!
It's truly the sweetest and most wonderful community a girl could ask for and I've made so many friends here!
I love this community to bits! <3
And So as long as the servers keep running I'll keep coming to my second home the mlptp <3
 
Welcome back, look forward to seeing ya around :)
