Whoa! Just realized I'm coming up on 5000 posts!

The MLPTP was the first pony forum I joined, and where I met the most wonderful people, mentors, friends, etc ever. I was still in high school and probably annoying with lots of questions, but everybody was really nice to me and they helped me be a good pony online. I am and forever will be grateful to all of these people.

To celebrate my 5000 posts, I decided to start a contest *and* a raffle. Both winners will receive a pony as a gift, when my 5000 post is revealed. Now, how do you enter, you ask?

Contest
First person to spot my 5000 post wins! So whoever comes to this thread and posts a screenshot of my 5000 post will win!

Raffle
In addition to the contest above, there is also a raffle for a second prize. To enter, you have to reply to this post and answer the following questions and a winner will be picked at random.

1. What is your first memory of the MLPTP
2. Share a funny/lovely moment or experience you have had on the MLPTP.


I can't wait to read what everyone has to say!
 
One of my first memories of the MLPTP was the discovery of the sweetie babies. I never knew they were ever made until I saw them online. That's where the sweetie comes in with my SN.

One of the best things I think to come out of the MLPTP are the Maryland pony meets, and the NY and New Jersey meets of the past. I met so many wonderful pony people!
 
I have only been a member here for just over three years now, but I have made so many friends! One of the first memories created here was being in the Chat room with all the regulars (back when the regulars will still consistently in Chat). I had no idea what was going on or what the 'in jokes' were but it wasn't long before they had accepted me into their strange little group. Love you gals!

For me, the best experience that the TP has led to was meeting my friend Mirakat on the boards. Then two months later I ended up moving to, not only the same state, but the same city and we have become the best of bestest pony friends in real life. I am just about to move away from New Mexico and she is the one thing I'm leaving behind that I will truly and completely miss. I never would have met her and her lovely family if it hadn't been for the TP.
 
My first memory of the MLPTP... I think back in 2006 I was just starting to really get back into ponies for the 1st time. I bought a MOC G2 set from a member called Lea (I think...). It wasn't long until I started to become more active & go absolutely pony crazy!

I have had so many great experiences here <3 One of my 1st was a Halloween custom swap. Unfortunatly it was one of my 1st swaps, and my partner flaked on me. Kar went out of her way to make me a super fantastic swap box, I was stunned! If it weren't for her, I may not of participated in as many swaps as I have, & would of missed out on so much of the community here.
 
My first memeory of MLPTP was coming across a thread about a review for the pony Honeybuzz, who I was looking for desperatly loose for a time. After a while of checking out the threads here, I decided to create an account to finish off the last pieces of my G4 puzzle and that's what launched me into the crazy world of pony collecting!

My favorite moment on MLPTP is constantly posting the song "Thrift Shop" when people talk about hunting for bargians at the Goodwill store orwicked finds at the local Salvos. It always in good spirit. :smilepony:
 
Lessee... First TP memory, eh?

Well, it's kind of fuzzy, actually, but it all started around January 2012. I was already interested in pony collecting, and found the TP because of the tutorials, but decided to look around the forums. I was amazed to find that the prices for ponies were much cheaper than on eBay, and, coming right after having blown $27 on a MOC G2 Berry Bright due to lack of info, it was just too good to be true. I registered, but had to wait almost a week to get the confirmation e-mail (MustBeJewel told me the admin was pretty busy at the time, and I totally understand). After that ordeal, I finally was able to join and made my first TP purchase from StarWarrior. And I've been around, on and off, dishing out overly long speeches ever since.

As for a great experience on the TP... There have been a few, but I can only pick one, so...
Well, ever since I joined, I was looking forward to the swap experience. The first one I would've been able to enter would have been last year's Halloween swap, but I was low on funds at the time (or something like that). So I bowed out and pretty much forgot about it. Until one day my Mom comes into my room asking if I had ordered anything. I said not really, and she showed me a box wrapped in black paper and festive stickers. Turns out nsunshine sent me a swap box anyway as a RAOPK! That totally made my day back then, and I still can't thank her enough for the surprise. :satisfied: :bighug:
 
1. What is your first memory of the MLPTP

My first memory would be joining. :) I was looking around for a forums to learn more about older gen pony toys, and was safe. The MLPTP fit the bill!

2. Share a funny/lovely moment or experience you have had on the MLPTP

One favorite? Only one? Sadness...hmmm....probably my first swap, the recent ATC spring one. I still love the one of Spotted I received!

2. Share a funny/lovely moment or experience you have had on the MLPTP

When the forum had that pirates vs mermaids contest during the summer.

1. What is your first memory of the MLPTP I am new here *hi* I came a few weeks ago looking for help and advice on some badly damaged ponies and found some very good tips- I was feeling pretty upset and worried my collection would be ruined forever but this place gave me hope that I could get them restored.

2. Share a funny/lovely moment or experience you have had on the MLPTP.
While not one moment in particular, it has been lovely to have people treat my upset with respect, sympathy and understanding rather than laughing or shrugging it off with 'what's the big deal it's a bunch of old toys, you're and adult why do you care' (which is what I have got from some quarters) Thank you all :)
 
1. I can't even recall a first memory really! I forgot what happened on the old boards, really. After finding Dream Valley I came here. I just remembering being able to sell and trade my ponies with awesome people from around the world :) I still have all the amazing notes people gave me in the trades too! So I would say I have many memories, from a really great community.

2. Best was when sharing stories of grossest things inside ponies and that large bug that was inside someone's pony that got stuck in the glue was so great!
 
My first memory was trying desperately to get my avatar picture to upload. And then after working on it for about an hour, I didn't like it and I changed it. XD

One of my best moments was meeting BabyRainbou and having a good conversation with her. (You probably don't remember me but :D :D) It was awesome though because she was on of the first people I truly met on here and she's great. <3

It was of the old TP back before it was hacked and had to be moved. I remember being a new member and being afraid to post because everyone knew so much more about ponies than I did. It opened a brand new world to me because there were Euro ponies and Nirvanas and mail orders (I didn't even realize there were so many!). I didn't even know there were other forums! And eBay! And this was more than a decade ago now.

I took part in a contest quite a while ago. It was a lot of fun and I ended up winning an absolutely gorgeous Greek Moonstone straight off the card. I will never forget that contest or the hard work I put in to get that lovely pony. She's one of my favorites.
 
My replies keep getting eaten! This is my third try now. :( They get shorter each time, haha!

1. Probably the contest I entered, the 12 Days of Christmas! Trying to get 12 ponies into one shot was tricky, to say the least! But fun!!

2. Winning a prize in the writing contest!! It was such a thrill to see the kind comments people left on my story, and I love the pony I won! Bright Eyes still sits on my desk with me and reads the TP with me every day!
 
My 1st memory of the Mlptp is probably how awesome it felt to know I wasn't the only one out there who sees the beauty in these little ponies~ Reading everyones stories, seeing their collections.

My Favorite moments on here would have to be realizing just how kind and generous people are on here.
Also the great response I received when i'd post photos of my ponies.
The compliments from all of you meant the world to me.
Thank you so much!!
:smilepony:
 
1. This was several years ago, but I think my first memory of the TP is when I wanted to buy/find some ponies. I remember I looked at both the Arena and the TP and decided to join the TP first because it seemed smaller than the Arena and not as scary as the Arena was then.

2, My favorite memory was when someone sent my a RAOPK. I didn't think someone would think of sending me one, so I was really surprised when the package showed up. I still don't know who sent it.

First memory? I guess a year and a half ago, when I pulled my G3s out of my cabinet and decided I'd clean them up and maybe get back into ponies, this time as a collector (not that I ever really went out). I started looking up my ponies to learn more about them, and naturally the first pony I looked up was Shenanigans. One of the first hits on Google was Strawberry Reef's Pony of the Day thread for Shenanigans, and I think that was the first thread I ever saw. I joined a few months later since it looked like a nice community, and I was definitely right.

A fun moment? I really liked when we all posted pictures of ponies with our pets for DBM's raffle. I loved seeing everyone's animals, alive or stuffed. And then I posted a picture of Shenanigans with a leek. Good times :)
ETA: I also loved An-Gel's pony persona thing. Even though she didn't design mine, I loved the art she did for me and how well all the others came out.

I had always loved the G1 ponies from my childhood and picked them up whenever I found them at garage sales etc. Eventually I began to wonder if there was other pony collectors out there and began looking online. MLPTP was the first site I came across and I remember being really excited that there was a whole community of people who shared my love of ponies! Unfortunately I haven't been able to be very active with my collecting (university is very expensive!) but now that I am able to be active in the community again I am excited for the new memories to be made in this wonderful place!

I had a bad experience with a fraudulent seller on MLPTP when I tried to buy my favorite pony Gypsy. I shied away from buying online (I was pretty young when it happened). Awhile later I connected with RainbowWindy and found that she was selling Gypsy. I decided to take another chance with buying and was so happy when I received her in the mail looking so beautiful! This rebuilt my trust in the community and I have had nothing but good experiences ever since! :smilepony:
