Welcome to the forum!

I would like to say that I do like the MLP character as the avatar, I am weirdly getting into the show and am nearly on Season 5 in terms of box set releases and I hope to get all 7 of them that are currently out.
Thank you!

I use this picture as my avatar on almost every web-resource where I have an account  :PCera

using PHP.
Me too! PHP and some JS for some dynamic elements on the page (click events, change events, ajax sending, etc).

Don't worry too much about grammar mistakes. :) It's international forum, so it's ok, me think.
I just afraid of misunderstanding ))

So, you watched around 9 LBT movies till now?
Are you planning to watch all of them, and all episodes of TV series?
10 of 14. The remaining parts are waiting, because I want to stretch pleasure, so, I watch 1 part per 2-3 days. As I said earlier, all parts from the 5th to 14th are completely new for me, and I want to watch them thoughtfully.
TV series I'm also going to watch after the movies, I haven't seen it before.

Anyway, feel free to tell us feedback after watching movies. What you liked in them and what additions you found very interesting in sequels comparing to previous movies, and what you did not liked. :)
Are there special topics for feedbacks? :)
Generally, all the parts, which I have already watched, gave me the stronger emotions - I really could not hold back tears in some sad moments... even though I'm adult man

I'm working in very small company.
Same thing. We have 1 back-end dev (me), 1 front-end dev, 1 project manager and 1 designer.
What programming language do you use? PHP, Python, ASP.net or anything else?

Nah, I will refuse an offer about IRL meeting.  :bestsharptooth (for your own sake, or I will bore you with endless talks about cartoons and games I'm addicted to, and LBT series is not the worst thing...  :evilsmile)
Okay, but you know, I don't mind about "endless talks about cartoons and games you are addicted to". I'm the same  :yum

Whoa, you made flash animations? :O Well, drawing quality is pretty good, I think. Well done!
Yes, I used to make flash animations, but I stopped doing it, because it requires too much effort. Although I have not lost this skill yet.

What a coincidence, I'm from Saint-Petersburg, and developing web sites too! :D

Welcome to our gang, Stardisk!

Would like to see any of your fanwork, about LBT and not about LBT. :)
Вот это поворот o_0

I thought that there are no Russians here!
What company do you work, if that is not a secret?
Would you like to meet IRL?

Unfortunately, I haven't created any LBT fanwork yet. But I have some MLP fanworks, and you can see a part of them on my old DeviantArt profile. It is sooooo old, that it has my previous and unused username, and contains my old works with quite bad quality.
But I lost access to it many years ago. Maybe I'll restore it somewhen.

Oh that's cool to hear! If you want you could make your own fanart topic in the Fanart section to show off what you make. The only other thing I can think of is to PM an admin and have them add it otherwise.
Yes, I will create it later.
Hmm... I have an idea about emoticons.
Anyone can send me an emoticon request and attach screencap with required face for clarity;  create an vector emoticon, save it as transparent PNG and post it. And we can expand our emoticons collection with demanded emoticons!

Welcome to the Gang of Five, Stardisk! I hope you'll have a pleasant stay with us! :CeraHAPPY
Thanks!



Hey Stardisk, welcome to the forum! Always good to see new members join. Let us admins know if you have any questions! :rainbowwave
Thanks a lot!



I’m thrilled to hear that! :Mo
And don’t worry, as far as I see you got the hang of the language quite well with only a couple of typos. :)
Nice to hear that I don't sound like illiterate child in English, thanks ^^

Maybe if you suggest your ideas to some of the fan artists here, they could probably make it happen!
Or draw it by myself, I have some skills in making emoticons. What should I do to publish it in collection?

How much of the show have you watched so far? All of it? For me personally, I watched all but half of Season 9.
I watched all before s5e13. After that I stopped watching MLP. Just don't want to continue watching, even though I like ponies.

Welcome to the forum!  :rainbowwave  It is nice to meet you, and I hope that you enjoy your time here in our little corner of the Internet.  :)littlefoot
Thank you! This little corner of the Internet is great!  :PAli



Hello and welcome to the GoF Stardisk!  :rainbowwave
Thanks!  :^^spike



Yeah, I grew fond of this place quite quickly given the welcoming nature of this community and the many fun and vigorous discussions we have of LBT and non-LBT related topics.
I feel that I will stay here for a long time. Even though it is a bit difficult to me to write in English. So, I'm sorry again if my sentences are full of grammatical mistakes.

fanart, fanfictions, OC's, and even forum emotes.
Yes, I checked some topics with this content. I was surprised that there are even LBT-related plush toys exist!
The set of LBT-related emoticons is cool! But sometimes I can't find suitable emoticon to the message...

He's actually based off of an Ophthalmosaurus, a reptile actually. It's also a piscivorous species, so unbeknownst to the Gang, he's basically a Swimming Sharptooth... :P ;)
Oh. Thanks for explaing!  :Mo

That's quite saddening to hear dude. It's tragic irony to see a MLP fandom that is so far astray from the central lesson that the show portrays to its audience. :(
You are absolutely right. And many users know it.
I also remember a bit smaller Russian MLP community, but there was inadequate admin, who one day got angry and dropped the whole site without backups.
Russian MLP fandom is full of strange, inadequate, angry and hateful people. Irony as it is.  :(petrie

Have you joined any other MLP communities since then?
No. I'm disappointed in this fandom. My OC is the only thing which still connects me with MLP fandom, because I like him so much.

My other favorite character in the show too is Spike.
I did not doubt it  :SmugSpike

Hello and welcome to the Gang of Five! Glad to more Land Before Time fans! :)
Thanks! I'm here for 1 hour and I already like this place  :)littlefoot

Land Before Time is a niche fandom.
Some years ago I registered on forums of some other niche fandoms, but today, unfortunately, all of them completely lose their activity...  :rhett_sad
The web-resources still exist, but there are no any active users, only spam bots.

It's nice to have a center stage community in the fandom
It's great, because this is exactly what I was looking for! And thanks for the DeviantArt link!

---------------------------
I don't know these other "clusters of small decentralized communities", but I reckon they must be very small relative to the size of this forum
There are 1090 members according to the members list. And I have never seen so many users in other found LBT-related communities.

It's Mo-o-o-o! His name is Mo. :P
I remember his name, but what about his animal type? A dolphin? A shark? :D

Quite a miracle you even found any of those aforementioned subreddits, as they must be buried far deep within reach of the average person looking for an LBT community.
I just typed different variations of LBT title in the address bar after "reddit.com/r/"

Wow, hahaha nice. I was introduced to MLP by my older brother when Season 2 was out, so sometime around in 2012. Never joined any community though.
You know, the largest Russian MLP community with its own site is ruining now. Users became angry, endless arguments and trolling of each other... No friendship remain there. Administrators don't fix known bugs for years:rhett_angry

What's your favorite character out of the Mane 6 if you don't mind me asking?
Rainbow Dash. And except mane 6 group I like Princess Luna.

Hahaha yeah an LBT community, let alone an active and tightly knit one like this is pretty much either non-existent/improbable to find.
LBT have been existing since 1988, and today there are a lot of people in the world, who remember it. I can't understand why its fandom has so low activity.

(If you don't know what I'm referencing to, it's a certain swimmer from LBT 9. ;))
I know :) I watched 9th part yesterday:) nice dolphin (or who is it)

but it's very inactive and it merely consists of meme posts. You can find it here
Yes, I have found this subreddit previously, and another couple of subreddits with 70 members and 1 post per year activity...

And nah, this forum doesn't receive new (active) members at all really, usually a few per year on average maybe.
Umm... It is sad...

Nice username by the way. Enjoy your stay in our humble Great Valley!
Thank you! I have been using this username since 2008:)) Maybe you have already met it on the Internet  :yum

P.S: Is your profile pic an MLP OC you created by any chance? :)
My favorite Mane 6 character is Pinkie Pie by the way.
This OC was drawn by me personally in 2012 (when I joined to MLP community) using Macromedia Flash 8. His name is also Stardisk.
It wasn't generated in any constructor and contains some references to myself  :rolleye

------------------------------------------
Welcome to the forum Stardisk! this is the oldest existing  LBT forum on the web - we were founded in 2004. While previous forums existed before that, they  have been erased by time. Make yourself at home.
Thank you! I'm surprised that this web-resource has such a long history!

can't believe that I have managed to find a LBT community
I'm Stardisk, 28 years old. I'm from Saint Petersburg, Russia. Sorry for spelling mistakes, if they are present.
I develop websites and pay mortgage.

Two weeks ago I rediscovered this great movie series, and I was very surprised that there are 14 parts, because I knew about only 4 or 5 parts.
Last time when I watched LBT was more than 20 years ago... And two weeks ago I accidentally saw an Littlefoot artwork on some entertainment site.
The old forgotten memories returned... I immediately googled info about LBT and found all the parts.
I can't convey in words what I felt while watching...
Even though I vaguely remembered contents of the first four parts, they impressed me stronger than 20 years ago... Other parts I watched for the first time and they also very impressed me...

I have been finding any LBT community for week, but they are completely absent in Russian Internet segment and social networks. Even Reddit can't offer me any active community. And finally, I noticed the link to this forum on the LBT wikia.
It seems there are almost no new members according to the member list. The member before me was registered more than 2 weeks ago.

Glad to see you all. :rhett_smile
