I'm actually remembered. Wow. Pixel: One of the best friends I've met on EP ever since. Yup Vent, old times... now I'm on Skype! Miggy: Sparkler Peanut Butter. SmittyG: Hey I'm praising my favorite artist! :derpe: Snowy Shuffles: Fun times. Dragonbait + FirelanderX: Some of the awesome Floridian bronies I have here. And anyone else I remember from my head. Haven't been on for a while.
I'm afraid I haven't been here long enough to know anypony well enough to offer specified praise, but so far, I love this board and community. Everyone's been so nice to each other, even when completely disagreeing. It shows what true bronies can be like, and not like the creepy creeps a lot of people try to portray us as. Though in truth, I do enjoy those portrayals as they're usually quite humorous. I still feel weird if I go into the pony isle of a toy section or store, concerned how non-bronies would view me. So thank you all for being all-inclusive and understanding of others. You're awesome! /)
Time to revive this ancient thread... Well, I've got a few people I should most definitely praise. ePONYmous: Our conversation opened my eyes as to who I am as a person. While things may never be the same, I do thank you for making me realise my errors that I have made... even if I have a different viewpoint of it. Foxytail: You've always been there for me when I needed someone to talk to about my problems, and you've helped me so much. I can't really say much, other than thank you very much. DanSze: Thanks for staying classy and being an overall cool guy. Everypony Else: Thank you for all of the support you have given me and others. I am proud to be in a community of free thinkers and people who want to help others. It is truly a rarity (No pun intended) To see people so willing to help.
I think I have a few to hand out by now. I'm tired, so I may not be as eloquent as possible but here goes. Cloudy Bounce: Our conversations have taught me not to focus so much on what can't be helped, and to stop worrying about things that may or may not be a problem in the first place. Your taught me not to worry about what others think of me and helped me to start liking myself. Before, I was only able to really focus on my bad sides. Now, however, I actively work on improving those bad sides, and even when I fail, I am now able to acknowledge my humanity and simply try again, as opposed to giving it up as a hopeless pursuit. I've since come to believe that worrying about what others think of me is a backwards way to go about things. Instead, what I strive for is to make others think well of me through my actions. Instead of concerning myself with whether or not they like me, I strive to get them to like me, whether they do or not. You may not be solely responsible for all this change. Much of the groundwork was laid by FIM itself, teaching me a lot of lessons an uncaring society had long since made me forget. It was my conversations with you, though, that planted the seed that led me to actively pursue these changes rather than simply fantasizing about them. After all, if I don't change, then how can I hope for anyone else to change? And if no one changes, then nothing changes. If I dislike the desensitized, uncaring society around me, what better step to take toward changing it than to try to change myself to be able to look on things in a brighter light and try to affect others positively as well? meanjeans: Along with Cloudy, you helped cheer me up while I was going through some anxiety, and your kind and cheerful words helped in more ways than I can adequately describe. I felt I became instant friends with you, and would be honored if you feel the same way. Xaniith: I've observed you this past month and have come to know you really care about those around you, regardless of what problems you may have yourself. When pixel was down a couple days ago, you pointed out to him the love the rest of us had for him, and you may not know, but that spoke volumes to me about your character. Don't change your caring nature, and know that I, along with the rest of us here at Everypony, will always be here to help when you need it. I may not be too skilled at actually solving problems, but I do pride myself in trying to cheer people up, whether through laughter or trying to distract the from their problems however momentarily. I'm sure I'll have lots more as time goes on. I just thought I'd write down the ones fresh on my mind before I forget too much.
^_^ You are so very welcome. Reading this first thing in the morning (I'm sitting here with some yogurt x3) just put the biggest smile on my face. I'm so glad that I've inspired you to make positive changes in your life. Everyone is capable of changing what they don't like about themselves, and doing their part to change their little pocket of the world. You just need to be brave enough to take that first step ^_^ And you, my friend, are definitely that brave. Brave enough to take the first step, and brave enough to follow it through <3
Class is nice, although I stopped going for classy and instead do what seems correct in context. I guess that's still classy =V Considering grey and I are pretty similar in terms of posting habits (As in when/where), This is expected and stuff. Maybe. Sorta. I guess I do post silly potatoes. No comment besides I try. If I don't understand others, how can I hope to understand myself? I agree FOR GREAT JUSTICE!
What?Nopony said anything about me? I'm not good with long emotional speech's so i can't say anything at the moment. Other than...... You guys are awesome. Seriously.I didn't have any friends until i came here.And met the nicest,funniest and smartest bunch of bronies on this planet. I guess MLP has changed my life in one way...I'm finally around people that are friendly...and that i don't want to kill. This has been the most fun i've had in a long time I'll be here a very long time. I guess i am good with speeches....Short ones anyway.
Awww, aren't you just the cutest thing. I'm sorry, I just couldn't help myself, the opportunity to use that scene was too perfect
-Gently blows the dust off the thread- I'd like to take this time to praise those who had to put up with the situation this April 1st.
This was tiring. I appreciate the fact that everything went (Well, smooth isn't the right word.) okay with this situation.
Honestly, while I may not have every detail, I feel like I have more than some. Going off just what I've been told and seen, I personally feel like the situation was handled really well. I have so much respect for you guys for doing what you did. It wasn't easy, and there was no perfect way to go about it. That's just the nature of the beast. But it says a lot about the type of men you guys are that you handled it with such relative grace and kept it under wraps. =)
I would like to praise all the staff I've had the good fortune to work with, the hard workers which keep the site going, the jokers who make it fun and bearable to deal with all the drama, and most especially the strong ones who help carry those who can't go on themselves when the going gets tough. It is a pleasure and an honour to work with you all. This includes the most recent departures.
I would like to presently thank Yami, Cloudy, pixel, and Rain. Constantly giving encouraging and thoughtful words to me when I'm in (lets be honest, A LOT OF) trouble. In any situation, even if by a little, you guys helped me feel ever so much better. I feel bad not pointing out other people, as they deserve some praise as well (ain't I biased ), but these stood out the most recently <3 I would gladly call all you guys my best friends (everyone, not just those stated), I have a very little list of people who can tolerate me at all, so I just love hanging out with you lot, even if it can only be online :3
Phoenix Wright? I approve. But, as much as I do approve, it's an old subject that does NOT need to be brought up again.
time for me to write something in this: first i'd like to praise whole community for being nice and great, and from which have emerged great and close friendships. Also, I'd like to praise all members and staff for being so great, like a family. now personal praises (sorry if I forget about you, just kick me in flank if I forget you): Special praise to for being close friends and always being there for me(out of people that are on everypony, even if they are not active very much): Sonic Bluefire Little Dove Buttercup Miggy Spiralchasm Insane Lugia Foxytail AugieD special hello to : Sunburn Tweetybird Eriksson also, shoutouts to everypony else
