Title: Long Hiatus, But Back Again!
Post by: Arkseil on May 04, 2020, 08:15:39 PM: Hello!

Well, dang. I just realized I've been a member of this website for 15 years?! I used to take active part in the buy/sell scene, got into customizing, and helped organize the G1 Backcard Gallery - which seems to no longer exist? Do any of the admins still have those old files?

I recently purchased a MIB 90's barbie for a friend as a birthday gift, and a G1 Pony for another friend's birthday. These two toy purchases, combined with Covid-19 isolation led me down a path of boredom and renewed obsession. I've been looking up a ton of vintage toys again, stalking eBay and have also started making digital art of some of my favourite nostalgic toys.

Hope everyone is doing well! Are we still allowed to post non-MLP wishlist items?

I'm sure if you put it in the "Wanted" section, it shouldn't be an issue.

Hope you have fun continuing to reignite your nostalgia obsession :froilc:

Wow, that backcard gallery sounds interesting! Would love to view some of your art!

Sorry I can't answer those questions as I'm just getting back to the boards as well.

Welcome back :hug:

Very sadly the gallery is gone :cry: and the files aren't saved :bawl: I am so sorry for that -_- -_- -_- I am admin for the nirvana gallery and all of the nirvana gallery went as well :help: Thankfully I did have a vast majority of the nirvana gallery back up so I am currently in the process of rebuilding it for the community.

I am sure if you ask in the corral someone might have saved some of the images :bigups: and perhaps it can be rebuilt?

Yes, you can post non-mlp wishes, there is the toy box which is good for other toys and the doll house for dolly things.

Love pkw xxx
