So Gen 5 is dead, right?

What's the future of this franchise?

This is the general thread for the alternative fan sites of the My Little Pony fandom. Discussion, development suggestions, and criticisms are all welcome here.

We need more archives. Even archives of archives.

>Why alternate boorus?
Changes to Derpibooru have made the site a less than ideal location for pony fan art. So, several new boorus arose to provide alternatives. Many of the altbooru owners post in thread and listen to questions and comments from anons. Note that this is NOT the Derpibooru drama general. Please keep posts about Derpibooru in the thread on mlpg.co.

>Why alternate text sites?
>Why alternate text, fanfiction, and fanfiction archival sites?
Pastebin.com has deleted, and continues to delete, greentexts on the site. FimFiction does not allow stories in the greentext format. FimFetch has been purging foalcon and other material deemed to be "unacceptable" as late as Jan 22 of 2024,. As such, a new home is needed.

>Latest Developments:
- Ponybooru has been up and down a lot due to server issues.
- FoalFetch is being worked on, but slowly. Downloads for stories were added.
- Floorb is working on a project to archive pony from Twitter, DeviantArt and maybe other sites, and looking for volunteers to help.
- Ongoing comment and image spam on the various altboorus.
- A security/privacy issue on Ponepaste, which allowed for anyone to view one's private paste titles, their authors, and tags (but not its actual content) was patched.
- The fanfiction archival site FimFetch escalates its ongoing purge of content deemed by them as "unacceptable" (mainly foalcon) by hosting a list of accounts from all around the fandom (FimFiction, Discord, AO3, Derpibooru, ect.) they "found" to be associated with said material. In response, Floorb has created foalfetch.net. For keeping up with the ongoing drama, see https://ponepaste.org/9926
- TPA/Ponybooru server restoration completed after going to shit. Hobune instance also updated.
- Ponerpics image back-forward buttons broken (again)
- Foalbooru brief hostile takeover/server issues? Resolved?
- Floorb finally bulk-imported missing images onto Twibooru, image processing queue bloated due to such.
- Total Spammer Death solution in place on Twibooru.

There is nothing more pure than the love between man and a mare

Hello there.

Howdy, partner!

What you see here began as a series of comedy-centric stories with the concept of an alicorn-ascended Princess Applejack trying to change a mismanaged Equestria for the better by humorously interacting with the other, quite lazy, princesses. Plus late night pink antics.

Not to mention a whole bunch of Changelings with nothing better to do but cause mischief.


The whole thing was set in motion by this gem:

~~~~~

>So, wait, why am Ah' a princess again?

>Because you seem to be the only goddamn one of those ponies who gets that a Princess need to do actual work regarding maintenance of the kingdom. You know how much city planning or trade negotiations Twilight or Luna have done? Fucking nothing. Everyone is obsessed with the world ending threats they think I should fight, but the minute I point out the free health care I have to work to maintain everyone goes quiet. And don't even get me started on Cadence, who can't even manage a basic meeting with the Equestrian Games representative. Fucking annoying. Go do actual princess stuff, because apparently everyone else got the pamphlets mixed up or something and thinks "Princess" means "Beat cop."

~~~~~

Are you feeling creative? Try your hand at writing a story! No contribution is too small and we love having new folks around.

If you're more artistically inclined give a drawing or sketch a shot. Don't fret too much; it doesn't have to be fancy and we appreciate artwork a lot.

If that isn't your style either, writers always need feedback. So tell us what you liked - and what you didn't - to help us improve.

If you are unsure about anything, do not be afraid to ask. We will gladly bring you up-to-date or explain anything you feel is unclear.

Thread 380, one last ride partners, and then we see what the future has to hold! THE RIDE NEVER ENDS!... IN OUR HEARTS!

It’s exactly what it looks like Edition.

Welcome to /mlp/'s oldpony /b/ styled community discussion general. The general is now on its third thread, but is still getting off the ground. Expect some bad faith engagement and try to ignore it as best you can. Thread 2 went both a little better and a little worse than thread 1. Let's keep up the good discussion of projects, ponies and most importantly, people who inhabit this pony first space. Friendship, after all, is magic. Remember, this is the place for names and trips if you're gonna use them, though we also welcome anyone who wants to post anonymously in good faith. We welcome all comers, to discuss whatever (you) would like.

This thread is an attempt to avoid the offboarding of the idea of a pony board community to discord or other platforms, so that those of us who would prefer to inhabit /mlp/ can get to know each other without having to go off board to do so.

Thanks for taking the time to visit this attempted revival of old community culture. Whether you're a tripfag, namefag or anon, your contributions are welcome here. C'mon in, let's recapture some of that magic people haven't forgotten existed. Let's have some fun and post some ponies. As someone tried to hijack the thread at the end of the last one, I'll start each thread using my trip for a first post in the new thread

>>42133813
(Previous thread)

Now I have to post a thread with my trip actually on.

Mods please delete the imposter's thread, that was some asshole trolling the general. You can see my trip here, you can see I'm the one who posted the previous thread. I've reported it already, this is, in fact, the real general. Thank you.
