Name?

This field is optional. You can choose any name you want, or you can post anonymously by leaving this field empty.

Tripcodes are a way to identify yourself between posts without having to register with the site. To use a tripcode, enter your name as ‹name›#‹key›.You can choose anything you want as the key—it is private and will never be shown to other posters or stored on the server. For example:

Rarity#bestpony → Rarity!.4PK7yxdII

If you want a tripcode containing specific words, you can download a program designed to search for tripcodes, such as Tripcode Explorer.

Email?

Entering an e-mail is optional.

There are also code words you can enter here which perform certain actions when you submit your post.

  • sage — lets you post without bumping a thread.
  • nonoko — uses the original post behavior to redirect to the board index.

These can be used at the same time as an e-mail address by typing ‹email›#‹action›.

You can also use Skype names in place of an e-mail. The notation is the same as a link to a username on skype itself, which is skype:‹username›

One of the minor pleasures of G4 MLP was all the horsy gags, puns, and references. A currency measured in bits. Twilight putting on a saddle to go out in "Winter Wrap-Up." The CMC playing a checkers-like game with tiny horseshoes. Typewriters with two keys. RD's oath "Horseapples!" in "Fall Weather Friends." And of course, all the geography — Manehattan, Fillydelphia, Las Pegasus, Canterlot, Neighagara Falls, and so on.

Others can probably think of a lot of other G4 examples. But there doesn't seem to be a lot of this in G5. "Maretime Bay" is good, and "Bridlewood" and "Canterlogic" are okay, I guess. But magical sticky hooves have replaced the horsy mouth-handling of objects, and there seems to be a general downplaying of horse stuff. This seems like an aspect of a generally less playful approach to the world and the material. Or am I missing something?

Maybe there'll be more horse puns coming in the series, when we see the day to day lives of the ponies. I don't think the G5 movie had much opportunity to show any such things - just like the G4 movie didn't.
