Title: What's going on in your 'niche' of the Arena?
Post by: tuneful87 on February 11, 2012, 06:26:56 PM
Sadly, I don't have the time to keep up with every sub forum on the Arena. I'm sure many of you can say likewise.


So what's going on in your 'niche' of the Arena?


Is there an awesome photo thread in Customs? Some really neat art in Brags? A fun thread in the Corral? Some newly discovered gems in Nirvana? Now is the opportunity to link the rest of the Arena! C'mon, tonight is the night to get out of your comfort zone!

...Venezuela ponies have been discovered! That's about all I've got to share.

So pretty, but so pricy. Eep!
I feel pretty guilty dropping a little over 120 on a pony, no idea how I could possibly ever justify $600. ;_;

I've been spending most of the time in the Dollhouse Forum but now I'm gonna try to go back to where I first started and go through the Pony Corral like I used to as well as the Off topic Forums. I've been meaning to make some discussion threads people can relate to and discuss.  :P

Flitter: It is a pretty amazing discovery, isn't it?

Luv: Your avatar is lovely. Spectra looks absolutely divine in it. It makes me want to whip out my doll ASAP and put her on the mantle!

Honestly? I'm still getting used to the new site. I swear, I can look at the threads but not really "see" them. There's an amazing custom by puuush posted (go see!) and I must have visited the board at least four times before I even noticed it. The threads kinda run together. I miss unopened topics being bolded, that little "new" sign doesn't help me when I don't even notice it :P

I usually lurk the dollhouse, and there are some awesome pics from Toy Fair of the new Halloween dolls, so go check out the MH thread! :P

Thanks! Spectra is my favorite but I wish she had more screen time on the webbisodes. Loved "Ghosts with Dirty Faces" but needs more Spectra.


Yeah, if anyone is interested in Dolls outside of Ponies, they should checkout the Dollhouse.

I've been here in the Corral checking out the sticky thread on the new G4s! That has pretty much been my home / main port of call when I come here. I check out ANY new developments in the G4 line straight away, plus I love looking out for any posts with the "G4" tag. ^_^

It's so neat that to this day there are ponies that we still didn't know about for g1. I love seeing the alternate colors "remixes" of classic g1s.
 
G4s are pretty exciting right now too to be a collector. In this gen is the first male unicorn and a ton of new releases planned for this fall!

Well... I finished an Art trade for Alrak today. :P Does that count?
I've mostly been doing my usual flicking between boards over the course of the day whilst trying to do art work.

That only counts if you show us pics, starry!

On another note, I find it rather sad that this thread has been read 228 times but only has 16 replies! Either members don't want to get out of their comfort zones or they've got nothing interesting to showcase!

I think the most interesting new things have been mentioned - the ones I know of, at least.  I'm mainly in the corral or the customs forums.  The Venezuelan ponies are made of awesome, I LOVE their colors!

I tend to lurk and not post - sometimes I can't help but feel my posts get ignored...

I've read it a few times, but I'm not sure what my niche is.
o.o; takaras?
Spike sold a MIB Milky for a lot of money, I posted a guide on how to tell if you have a takara fakie, and mrpony has AMAZING blank takara customs now available to buy. http://mlparena.com/mlp/index.php/topic,287136.0.html

On the contrary, I've been slowly inching back to my pony collection as I have left it at a complete standstill once I discovered Monster High and Moxie Girlz. Now that I've seen the Toy Fair photos, I'm going back to my pony collection and gonna get more! Starting with Twilight, Celestia and the Cutie Mark Crusaders!

Just 2 weeks ago, after getting Operetta (and practically being up to date with MH) I went back to Pony collecting and I got all 6 of wave 4 and wanted to do My Very First Brag thread!! But then I realized that even after doing thorough checks to make sure they were perfect and I thought that they were, 3 of the 6 had huge flaws (Which got me furious) and I didn't wanna do a brag thread to show how I bought some S***** made ponies. Gonna do one once I make some returns and more purchases or so.

I also kinda agree with DevlishSmooch. Sometimes I feel like my posts get ignored so sometime I don't bother or I can't come up with something to say. lol

I am reasonably new and I found my "niche" in the customs section. The arena is the best place for artists obsessed with ponies..  :biggrin:

I don't really have a niche! I tend to browse and comment in most of the forums we have here. Although I rarely visit Intros, Nirvana, LPS... maybe I should fix that :p

I've been expanding my regular Arena haunts. Been in Intros and Brags a lot more often. A little bit more into Customs and Corral. Occasionally in Nirvana too.

I hang out in the Nirvana and the Doll house mostly. As said above the Nirvana's biggest news is the venezualan ponies but I agree, they are a little too pricey for me.  :cry:
The Dh is mostly Monster High threads but theres a great picture thread for non-mh dollies. also loving the Pullip pic thread bc they are so photogenic.

I'm hosting a pony giveaway right now. For finally hitting 5000 post.

But I'm mostly in the Dollhouse. that's where you will find me most times. I do love my ponies but I love my MH girls too!! And they along with my Pullips get most of my attention now.

I think I have forum ADD! It took me three times coming back into this thread to read it!  I am kind of all over the place right now

Here is the link to Puuush's awesome new custom - http://mlparena.com/mlp/index.php/topic,287001.0.html

I have also been in the art forum literally drooling over and being tempted by Marlin's work
http://mlparena.com/mlp/index.php/topic,287196.0.html

and of course checking the sales forum out to make sure my prices are reasonable.

Ever since the Arena changed over I became a really bad lurker...I hardly post anymore :( I really need to get back into art since drawing ponies is kind of my niche but I hardly have time anymore :( I've really liked looking at this thread though :D

TS has been busy lately( but of course I'm not gonna share that here LOL  :P  ) , so between TS stuff and buying stuff for my army swap partner (the army swap is awesome BTW :accomplished:   ) I havent had a lot of time to do other things :blush:
 I am in the middle of a doing  a huuuuge massive brag picfic - my biggest brag yet, and hopefully my best picfic... but its taking a while to do the scene settings. I have written the story already thankfully :awake: I'm thinking of doing a competition or give away type thing to go with my brag /picfic once its done, so that everyone else can join in celebrating with me too :cheer:   that will be something i wanna link everyone to :P  :frolic:  :happy:  I just need to have a litttle bit more time... oh and of course I love looking at eveyrone elses threads in the brag Arena. I havent had chance to visit there much lately either, but I'm hoping to be able to have more time in there soon :heart:

I did see that Venezuelan Posey; man she's gorgeous.  I do want her and I do not collect Nirvanas. 

I should probably go check out the Dollhouse at some point. . .

I also feel like I miss a lot of threads and then end up rereading ones I've already read due to the lack of bold :(
I guess I check the art forum pretty consistently, but I honestly HATE art threads and wish people wouldn't post them. Or post threads with links to pictures. When I log in there are usually 9+ pages of new posts and that kind of stuff just annoys me.

Yeah, I guess I'm just a bad member.
