@MustBeJewel Yesss! I remember you too! How cool that you've stayed all this time and you've kept in touch with EDP! I also hear you have been doing great things for the pony community! I would so love to attend one of your meets but MD is allll the way on the other side of the country from me. They look like a total blast!
Wowwww, I remember a lot of those banners! Especially "You paid HOW MUCH?" I wish I could remember who made it! Are you sure you can't share some more? ;D
How could I have forgotten about Pony Survivor? I'm going to have to ask him about that!
Those animated signatures were Pinwheel's? Is that the same Pinwheel I'm thinking of that I met at Pony Palooza 1999? I remember those signatures were a big trend!
The sites I remember most are the ones I had written down in my old notebook I kept for a little while to help me remember who was who around the community, and then later the Pony Folks section of my old website, where I made little drawings of every pony whose site I linked to. I need to find somewhere I can share those, they're still pretty cute! The page had TJ & Tabi's Piece of the Pony Rainbow,
@Spoosh's 50 Most Beautiful Ponies Contest, Shadowfire/Orin's "Pony Pony!", The Delaneys' Rainbow Connection, Steamer (one of the only guys we knew of in the community at the time), IceFeather's The Ice Palace, Lavendar Lace's (Brooke's) page, PsiVampyr's Spectral Menagerie, Baby Gloomy's customs, Earthy's Dark Little Corner, Sugarberry's Basil Meadow, Underwater with Wavedancer (Candice), Digital Duckie's Cutthroat Island, and SailAway's Harbor (parts of this site are actually still on the web and boy are they a trip down memory lane for me! She actually lived in the same city as me, I found out, so we got together for pony fun a few times before I moved).
Here's what I remember most about SailAway's Harbor:
The MLP Cafe! I actually made a contribution to the menu that was too late to be added, but I still have it, lol. Fakie cola! MMMmm, refreshing!

.... yeah, we all found a lot of ways to amuse ourselves back then.
