Lots to catch up on here! Let me see.....
There are definitely plenty of things that are missing.
Exactly why we are now asking the community for input
- Personally speaking, I keep forgetting that the links to other resources is under "How do I Identify My Pony?", so when I go to look for it I end up searching the internet instead. Perhaps having a centralized masterlist of links could be something to consider?
Which kinds of links would you want in a master list? Just identifying resources, or....?
- I recently made a post asking about how to re-shape pony bodies, particularly glitter ponies. The Pony Preservation Project does have a blurb about re-shaping deformed ponies, such as with crushed legs etc., but I've noticed that "how to take care of glitter ponies" is often a missing topic. (DracoKat helped me out with this one and suggested a blow dryer, I'll be trying it soon.)
If you could document your experiment with photos and write down what you did and what happened, we can easily make that into a tutorial page for how to correct legs without damaging glitter, that way members would be able to use that information in the future.
- You also have information on how to style a pony's hair in the "clean my pony" section, but a general "how to clean the body" is missing.
- ....Or just a general hair washing guide?
What kind of information do you think should be included in how to wash pony hair? I'm not clear on what specifics would be needed that aren't already in many of the videos.
- Bringing in some information about how to take care of G2 ponies would be greatly appreciated as well, since they have some unique gimicks.
- On the note of gimmicks, some may appreciate a guide for making new flutter pony wings, or replacing summerwing wings.
- Or how to replace Twinkle Eyes' eyes.
Are you able to provide any of these resources for us to use? That would be extremely helpful.
- This one's definitely more high-effort, but making text versions of guides where there are currently only videos would be appreciated. Just right above or right below the video.
I am afraid I am already at maximum high-effort here, just generally speaking. I devote an enormous amount of time, effort, and resources just in running the TP alone, not to mention providing this kind of content for the community.
All I can say is, I do the best I can for all of you.
- We have how to remove a pony's head, but how to reattach it would be helpful too.
How Do I Remove My Pony's Head Without Damaging It? (www.aikarin.com) Whether for cleaning or customization, removing pony heads can be a very difficult and dangerous prospect. Sadly, many ponies have been permanently damaged or mangled by people who acted far too eagerly with an Exacto...

And a couple of MLPTP-specific things:
- Of course I would still like a list of the automatic titles, probably hidden in a spoiler as well.
- How to set custom titles and a description of when you're able to. There are requirements you have to meet for this, aren't there?
- How to change your MLPTP theme.
I will discuss these with the mods
The second one I can easily plan on adding, but the third is involved in some upcoming content and is unlikely to be utilized at this time.
Also as kind of an aside, one of my G1 ponies rattles. o_o I think something in her hoof broke, it's squishier now than the others. Do they have weights or something in their hooves?
That would depend which G1 it is in terms of what parts might be inside, but it's usually the tail washer, even if the tail still seems firmly in place. Then again, I've found many a strange thing inside a pony over time..... You never really know!
How about a page of warnings- like “do not use oxyclean on SS or glitter”…. Warnings people may not think about that may destroy their ponies?
Warnings are put in bold red in every tutorial where they apply-- do you think would it be more beneficial to have a single thread of "DO NOT's" ?
Also a list of ponies that should not be sunfaded since I can never figure out if it’s safe to sunfade or not. I almost destroyed my mimic this way
We can definitely work on researching this--feel free to PM me what you know about it, and I can start from there.
And speaking of oxyclean- warn people to put oxyclean after boiling water and not before otherwise it will overflow. I made that mistake!
The instructions for OxyClean already state "do not heat or boil" on the packaging, which is the consumer's responsibility:
Instructions
I will skim through the tutorials and add this as it applies, as I did not realize it was not recommended by the manufacturer. Good catch!
I would like to take a moment to
thank @MustBeJewel for the almost
two years+ of extremely dedicated and hard work and research of well informed and trusted information that it took to compile the FAQ sections.
This FAQ section has been in the works for an extremely long time and we are still working very hard to work on it and add more information.
This is why
@MustBeJewel has reached out for ideas. While leaving responses please remember to be kind and thoughtful.
The MLPTP Team do all the work here behind the scenes for free and in our “spare” time. Thus making some things take a bit longer than others. We’ve always had a
FAQ Suggestion Box that doesn’t get utilized. Because of this Jewel made a post here to unveil the hard work put into the FAQ (which just 6 months ago had no content) together.
Thank you for mentioning this and for your kind words,
@Skybreeze.
Even though I've been the owner since 2019, I've been working on here for decades now. The MLPTP is a very ingrained part of me, and a community that I strive to provide for and protect. I find it hard to put into words just how much goes on that members never see on a day to day basis.
Some of that will be very visible, very soon, however!
As though any of you truly have ‘spare’ time! Thank you
@MustBeJewel for all you have given to make this forum a very wonderful and welcoming place. Thank you as well to all the mods working their ‘MOD magic’, organizing events, taking care of troubles and just generally awesomeness.
@Gingerbread @CJ Thimble Bright @Natsu chan @Sassarazzmadazzles and especially,
@Skybreeze , who has been available on here so frequently.
That's very kind of you Tak, thank you.
We do not hear those kinds of things very often, and it is always taken to heart.
Chill out, Sky. Nobody's saying they don't appreciate it.
I understand that you are trying to contribute constructively and for the betterment of our resources I do appreciate that, but I am going to have to ask that you not disrespect
@Skybreeze or any of the moderators by saying things like this. This community is here because people like
@Skybreeze heavily volunteer their time and effort behind the scenes, and I will not condone anyone talking to her or any other community contributors, members, or regulators in this way. Thank you for understanding.
And you are correct, no one in this thread has stated that they do not appreciate the MLPTP and the work that goes into it. But by and large and over the course of time, the work we do, for free, for all of our members, very often does go without any thanks or appreciation--and I say that as someone who has worked on the TP since 2005. We (myself and the mods) openly accept that fact as the caretakers of this community, and we certainly don't require any accolades, but by the same token, she is not wrong.
Have you seen the MLPTP's Pony Tutorials & FAQ?
