The MLPTP's Big Renovation Fundraiser
Hello everyone!
In January of this year, I became the new owner of the My Little Pony Trading Post, after being a mod here since 2005. The transfer of ownership came quite unexpectedly, and with the help of fellow long-time mods @cannibalcow, @CJFullmer, @evilbunnyfoofoo, @Gingerbread, @Natsu chan, and @Peppermint Truly, we began right away on a much-needed total update and renovation of our beloved MLPTP.
Updating and managing a forum is not as easy as it sounds.
The software (both the base forum and all the add-ons like the chatbox, gallery, feedback application, etc) was about a decade old, and once we did the mandatory update to the newest (safe, secure, supported) forum software, all of those individual add-on features were left unusable, not having been updated for many, many years. I have had to jump headfirst into learning how to manage, transfer, import, and update these important parts of the forum, many of which have involved hiring multiple IT professionals to help us ensure our success.
I was not about to let 14 years of our history, our posts, photos, feedback and more, be lost forever.
You are my friends, my pony family, and my pony home. And it is an honor to take on the role of the MLPTP's caretaker.
That said, all of these things have come at a considerable cost. In order to help ease the financial burden, we are hosting a month-long fundraiser, with forum trophies and prizes to be had by those who choose to donate and help us out.
Here's how you can help:
1) Donate to our costs using the Donate button on the front page, or send directly to Donations@MLPTP.net.
Every $5 you donate will count for 1 entry into the giveaway.
Donations are cumulative--trophies reflect the total you have donated since January 1st 2019!
2) Donate a prize to be added to our prize list below
Prizes can be any MLP item from any generation, loose or new in box. A good rule of thumb is to donate something you'd be happy to receive, too. Prize donors get one extra entry per prize into the fundraiser!
Custom or artwork commissions are allowed! All we ask is that our contributing artists fulfill their prizes within 4 weeks, or offer a cash equivalent if the commission is not completed in that time.
You may either ship the prize to the winner yourself, or ship it to me first. PM for my shipping address.
3) Share our posts from the https://www.facebook.com/MyLittlePonyTradingPost/ Facebook page!
Spread the word about our new renovation and features!
Invite your friends to join!
