damn, this still exists?!? I got an email today from this site telling me i'm officially unbanned. lol, kudos to Everypony, this site has been active since 2011.
I feel this post might be more suited for the introductions section. Well back, I think! The members, the staff, and even the forum engine have changed over the years, but we're still here.
I joined this when the site was still in the works. I don't feel an introduction is needed since i don't plan on sticking around, no offense to you or any other members/staff. I've had too many problems with this site to come back. Long story short, I was attacked by staff and members and forced into a depressive state that could have been the end of me.
So... what you're saying is that you're so weak, you were almost destroyed by people being mean on the internet? Those people are long gone. This is a completely different site than the one you left. You don't wanna give it a chance because you had a bad time in the past? Fine. Your call. But if you really didn't want anything to do with the site, why come back at all? Seems like you just wanted to call attention to yourself long enough to give EP the "F**k Off" you never got to give back then. And if that's the case, then same to you, buddy.
I wasn't around at that time, but I do wish you luck with your future endeavors. Several pony-themed forms are still running after a number of years, but activity has slowed down at most of them (MLP Forums seems to be an exception in spite of shady mod/admin behavior there over the years). Perhaps. Perhaps not. It's impossible to tell without relevant background information.
actually it was people like you that caused that problem. negative, angry, and assume the worst in people. And no, i'm not here to give you the big middle finger or incite a riot. Maybe look for some attention, but mainly to see what the atmosphere is like still. Obviously there is still some toxicity here, made clear by you.
Actually, Rid has a point. We've had to deal with some "characters" in recent years so I see where he's coming from... even if he could've said it a little nicer. That said, I don't know when or why you were banned and I won't ask. I DO know that we have a pretty good staff these days that have been very square-dealing so I hope you are able to let whatever bygones be bygones and re-connect with our little community.
Well, no, that's not fair. Most people here are friendly and reasonable. Me? I call the *squee!* like I see it. If you didn't want to come back to stay, why come back at all?
That's just Ridley being Ridley. Best way to see if this place has what you interpret as toxicity is to post around.
Yeah, I know many people like him. I could have been a bit nicer myself, but I am very blunt about what i say now'adays.
Staff is much more different now. Much friendlier. I don't know what the staff was like when you joined but back when I joined everyone was super friendly. I don't see a reason for you to jump ship now. Give it a chance, I have had a similar experaince in the past with MLPForums. Got banned from there by abusive staff permanently I kept appealing until 3 years later my appeal went through and they said how they have completely new staff and it feel s like a different forum now thanks to that.
I pretty much agree with most other posts on here. Try posting around and see what happens. If you still feel like the site hasn't changed, then I guess no one would blame you for leaving again.
oh god, ePONYmous... do not bring that name back up. He is the #*$& that caused all the problems to begin with. I remember all of them, in fact you are vaguely familiar as well. Somehow the name Harley pops up when i think of your name.
Ah yes, good old ePONY. I remember when him and Cyber were all the rage on the forum. Shortly thereafter, they became a source of literal rage for the forum. Those were interesting times. You're forgetting the more colourful members like Snowy Shuffles, DanSze, greyOne, testyal, and Miggy. There were more, but their names escape me. What fun those days were.
