I've heard about druvdalen, and I think it's a shame it's no longer a thing. As a UK and European pony geek so much useful information has come out of discussions that happened there (and from ponypeople in Sweden in general, whose brains even now I am picking).

The problem is a lot of forums have died. A lot of people have abandoned forums and migrated to social media. For better or for worse, this is the internet now.

On the actual topic. I used free sites for the early iterations of my website. They are still online but flooded with ads and broken images...I no longer have access to them to take them down so although the information at times is questionable (lol) it's nostalgic.

BUT the reason I moved to an actual host was the advert issue. Even with ad blockers.

My domain name is bundled with the rest of my internet package.

If you do go down the road of setting up a website, something I would recommend is domain privacy, which is where your domain's owner's address is not public. Mine lists the address of my hosting company.

Thinking about whether to rebuild the old lost MLP forum in my own language in Sweden. It was a variant focused on collecting and is as old as MLP Arena or so.

It's been gone about 4-5 years now.

Forums are certainly not as relevant today and all users have found new platforms for their MLP collecting.

But maybe for nostalgia? I miss it anyway.

It was called "the grape valley", translated from Swedish.

Should I do it?

It's a lot of work, costs some money, but why not?

Do you think it's worth it?

Daiya/Diamond no Ace is getting another season! 

It's been confirmed that production has started on Act 2 Season 2.  I'm assuming it will be at least a year before we see any new episodes, but I'm so happy that the anime will finish and not be left where it was.  Now if we could get an update like that on Yona.

When I was telling my mom about the anime continuing, she asked me how long it took to play the baseball game (the final game in the series)  It amused me that she remembered me telling her that the last baseball game took a very long time to finish in the manga.

Also, Cartoon Network is going to start airing the Viz dub of Sailor Moon during their Toonami block in the US starting May 31st.   I already have all of the Viz dub of SM on DVD, but it might be a way for those that are interested and haven't seen the Viz dub yet to give it a chance.

Still no luck on the MLP shorts.    I did see these in the toy section and had to grab a pic.
