    Hey what's up? As you may be able to figure out from the title, this is a My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic fan-site designed to bring fans of the show together in a single community to share and discuss ideas. If you are a fan of the show, you're welcome to stay as long as you like. If you aren't a fan of the show, you can stay anyway, we honestly could not care less if you're a fan or not, we'll treat you just the same.

    Just a quick reminder, before you post too much it'd be a good idea to take a gander at the rules and FAQ section of our site just so you can get better acclimated with how things are around here. Like most places on the internet, we have our own set of guidelines when it comes to posting and being a My Little Pony site, a lot of things are not allowed.

    If you're new to posting in forums in general, one of our users, Gabachi, posted an interesting beginners guide to forum posting that may help if you're confused by how to conduct yourself on a public forum.

    Now that we're past the boring rules and cookie cutter introduction stuff and whatnot, it's time to actually get to something substantial about this site of ours. The site is called Everypony.com for a reason, and that reason is that it's place where everypony is somepony. This is course means that there's a place on this site for anybody and everybody to flourish, in accordance to the rules of course.

    First and foremost, we have the radio right here. The Brony community is known for having many different artists who put together some pretty amazing tracks, and there you can listen to just about any of them on either our Shoutcast radio, or our Livestream radio.

    The Shoutcast radio, which can be identified by the medium sized black bar that looks a little something like this:
    [​IMG]

    Shoutcast better audio quality and a far larger music selection than that of the Livestream radio, but lacks the visual aspect Livestream does.

    The Livestream radio, which can be identified by the box that essentially just looks like a youtube video looks a little something like this:
    [​IMG]

    Livestream has a screen it uses to display the videos it plays allowing it to play animations like Ponies: The Anthology or Poniator animations, but on the downside it has lower audio quality and a smaller song archive.


    Periodically, one of our DJs will log into either Shoutcast or Livestream to take song requests. If there's a song you want to hear played, be sure to type it out in the chat so as to notify them. The generally accepted format goes as follows:

    With the request underlined: [Artist Name] - [Song Name]

    This helps our DJs distinguish song requests from the rest of the messages and ensure that the song that you want to hear gets played.

    As of now, the DJs for the radio are:

    Flash -The Acting Radio Director-
    Berry Punch
    Bounty
    Fluttermod (Flutterguy)
    Zephyr (Hey look, it's me!)
    Lightning_Mustang
    Swift_
    Harley
    Zephyr Haste

    Every DJ has moderator powers on the Livestream radio and it's their duty to make sure it stays civil at all times.
    Other moderators for the chat are:

    BlazingDawn
    TomTortoise
    Scyithe


    Keep in mind please, that these roles are subject to change in the future.

    The next thing on the list is, well, the forum in general. There are a lot of sections here, but the thing I'll introduce you to is the staff behind the site itself as that's rather important.

    With that hefty bit out of the way, take a gander at the RP section of the forums.
    [​IMG]

    This section of the forums is reserved for those who like to use their imagination a toy of sorts. Here you can take the role of a character of your choosing, either pre-made and from the show or of your own creation, and go through various adventures with THE POWER OF YOUR MIND!.

    The site even has a place where you express yourself freely in the form of a personal blog. User can subscribe to certain blogs and also comment on others. It's a great way to share and discuss ideas of yours. One of the more popular blogs belongs to our Admin, Foxytail, there you can stay up to date on recent site going-ons
    [​IMG]

    Here you can find the general chat for as it implies: general discussion. This is a place where anybody can just sit back and relax and riff raff with their pal.
    [​IMG]
    On the right side you can see who's who. Red signifies admin, purple a mod, and anything else is a user.

    In conjunction with the EPN General Chat, it also comes paired with a Roleplay chat. To switch to this chat, use the buttons found at the top of the page.
    [​IMG]

    Now that you've been introduced to all the sections of the site, go out there and have some fun. The users and moderators are friendly and willing to help you with anything around the site.

    Happy Posting!
