It's my 500th post, and I just wanted to say...

[ButtercreamDream]

...I  the Arena!  Not just the site itself, but all of the wonderful people who make it the place it is. I love the mods, the regulars, the newbies and the bronies.

I came on here just to sell or trade some of my G1 doubles in 2010.  I didn't think I'd ever really stick around and join the community.  In fact, I had sworn I would never get personal on a forum again after some very bad experiences on big sites.  People can be downright cruel when there's complete anonymity.

Well, this might just be the friendliest site on the whole internets     I feel like the friends that I have met here are genuine.  Everyone is quick to help or give a hug when someone is down.  The RAOPK are amazing.  I just participated in my first swap, and am happily expecting some pony mail.  Most of all I have a place to chat about a passion with people who actually GET IT!

So, yeah..  Hugs all around  You guys are great!

..Aaaaand, here's a bunny

Ah that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.  So I think we shall open the cellar and just party the night away or till my wine glass is empty....

Yeah, this is the only pony community on which I've remained active. There's absolutely no animosity here, it's a really welcoming place.

Glad to have you here, and stick around!
