I know there are still many old gen fans hanging around, but things like old gen forums seem to be dead (even most g4 forums). Is the fanbase for the first 3 gens shrinking? Moved elsewhere? Or maybe I'm just not in the loop as to where all the old timers are milling around, these days. Am I worrying too much?
 G4'ers are so reluctant to discuss anything from g1 through g3. Its like pulling teeth
Will it continue to shrink as mlp progresses in the era of g4, and future gens?

Last name "Majesty", first name, "Don't mess with".
Anyone remember how she used to turn trolls who were begging on their knees for forgiveness into stone? Or turn what she percieved to be irredeemable villains into bubbles? Kinda makes Starlight Glimmer look like a joke, by comparison.

I wrote a song, guys. It's a Ballad to Bonnie

sing the song of our pony creator
No woman alive has ever been greater
Brought to life the dear ponies we know
her legacy gave us the FiM show
Through generations, she's earned the respect
Its thanks to her that we can't forget
that little ponies are alive in our hearts
and forever we're grateful for what she did start
Zacherle, no one can compare
all the love for ponies we share
You are the best, and we owe it to you

may love for your ponies always shine true
Thank you

(anyone who wants is welcome to try and make this into an actual song)
Blessed be the mother of the franchise! Happy (early) mother's day


Do you guys think that anyone in the fandom will remember the mother of the entire franchise, for Mother's Day? Discuss Bonnie Zacherle, and her accomplishments in creating the long lasting legacy of pony

Every time I see franchises like Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, Digimon, etc. Doing big movies for their milestone anniversary (YGO Dark Side of Dimensions, Pokemon I Choose you!) or complete g1 reboots or retellings (Pokemon generations, Digimon Adventure Tri) it makes me sad that Hasbro hasn't done the same with their pony franchise. I know they're a toy company first, but seeing just a visually enhanced g1 movie come out, with the same content, while anime companies are going big or going home is pretty depressing. There's so much potential that can be done with a g1 reboot, big aniversarry movies and events, cross dimension shenanigans involving all the pony gens, but yet.... Nothing. Bummer.

What do you guys think?

Those new molds of ponies that ushered us into the age of generation 4.5- what are you guys' thougts on them? I've watched a few comparison vids on YT, where people critisize how they look compared to the g4 molds, and I've also seen them invading local stores, and my thoughts are- they're nasty. The legs look like noodles, and there's too much space betwen them (back view is horifying), the heads are too bubbly and round, the muzzle shape scares me, the eyes are too big and "anime"-ish, and I've heard that the manes feel "greasy" compared to g4. They look like Hasbro tried to borrow the style of "Pokemon" Alola region anime for the g4.5 ponies, and it just resulted in a mess that I'm not throwing any money at (and if they release Sunset Shimmer, Vinyl Scratch,  Luna, or Star Dreams in that style,  then I'll be in BIG trouble).

What are your thoughts on this 4.5 gen? How long do you think these molds will be around?

Hello people of the pony board. I just joined, prefer being addressed as "Muffin", or NmM, and I like all things pony. I really enjoy making pony OC's, drawing ponies, writing about ponies, thinking up pony theories, and watching reviews/analysis/theories of others, trying to spread appreciation for past generation ponies, finding pony merchandise,  listening to pony music by the fans of g4, and- well, you get the idea. Some of my favorite ponies (all gens) are Star Dreams, Sunset Shimmer, Pinkie Pie, Spike, Princess Luna, Maude Pie, Fluttershy, Kimono, Whimsy Weatherbe, Starcatcher, Puzzlemint, Toola Roola, Surprise, Shady, Firefly, and All the Flutterponies.

I also like anime, manga, and animals (especially the cute and fluffy ones)! Nice t'meetcha!
