The interface is very different from how it is now, which looking back in really nostalgic.
Wait a minute...what is THAT...
WHAT YUE?!

- Who are the Old Mods?
There were quite a few old moderators when the board originally opened up- many of them did not post more than once or twice. They were friends of the original Administrators, Tam and Ashi, who co-ran the board together. The names of the old moderators even I have forgotten.
The first active Moderators which quickly replaced the inactive original hires were myself, Meow, and Willowisp. Down the road a ways Skye and MyLittlePonyTales were added to that mix, as well as Dio and Dessa. All four of them are long time members from when the board originated.
- Why was Canterlot.com not G rated for a while and who made the change?
When Artax and myself realized our site was attracting not only bronies and veteran MLP lovers from previous generations, but children and youth interested in the show, we decided to make Canterlot a safe place for all ages. Since our site is about a show for little girls, we think this is the safest course of action for those visiting, our users, and us as Admins.
- Is the anypony higher than Artax?
Artax and I are co-admins, we share equal amounts of responsibility over the forum. There is no authority on the board higher than Artax or Myself. In a lot of ways, the board is our adopted foal to raise together.
- Why can I not grasp the true power of a moderator?
You need all nine pieces of the tri-force first. Only when you have wisdom and courage together, will you be able to wield power responsibly. Keep searching, and you will someday find your goal within grasp!
- Where do all the Help Staff, Mods, Admins, etc. fit into the Canterlot.com story?
That is a very long story- most of them have been hired on after I took over the board- but the names I mentioned above have a history here before the move. I would ask each one of them individually
- If Manestream is "Celestia's Adviser" then who is "Celestia?"
Why, Celestia herself of course! When Artax agreed to join me and become my co-admin, he gave me this title. It makes me sound all wise and stuff, but i'm actually pretty derpy in reality :3
- Whats with the weird Princess Celestia Admin Bot?
We like to have an automated Princess Celestia to wander around Canterlot. Makes the place feel a little bit more homey. She makes killer waffles, too. You should try some sometime.
- What's the story with some of the banned users, like Angie Cakes?
I prefer to respect the privacy of others when it comes to issues like these; the best way to find out would be to ask the person themselves.
- Canterlot. Y U SO ADDICTIVE?
I'm very glad to hear you are enjoying the community
- Who the heck is Tam?!
Tam is one of the founding Administrators of the board. When Ashi and he decided to move on to different projects in their life, they agreed to entrust the board into my hands. Tam made that happen, and played a very large role in saving the board. He and I still talk to this day.
- What was Old Canterlot like?
The old Canterlot was an electronook site with a basic forum skin and colour set- it was charming when I stumbled across it, and the community was small but passionate. Ashi and Tam set many roots down for the board that eventually evolved into Mane RP, our application process, and some of our other forums on the board. The board had its own set of problems back then, but it saw its way through them and has grown from 80 users, to thousands. I remember my first post on the board was an application for Applejack- things were very different back then.
- Who as the first member of Canterlot? Who was the first RP Helper, etc?
Aside from Ashi, Tam, and the handful of moderators that made accounts (but didnt stick around), i'm not positive. When the board first launched, EqD mentioned it in one of their posts, and a landslide of members signed up the day after its creation- some of those members including Tales, Quicklime, and myself.
- When did Canterlot begin?
Technically, March 8th 2011 is when the board first was created, known as Equestria- it was after I inherited the board a couple months later (sometimes around May 24th) and brought the previous staff and Artax onboard that it became "Canterlot".
Hope that helps
I didn't actually expect to get an answer to these questions, first off thanks so much!
I had always assumed that You and Artax ran the site from the very beginning its actually quite interesting to hear that there were other Admins besides you guys. To bad they didn't stick around, it would be cool to meet them!
From the looks of it it seems like the RP section was tons more lax back in the day than it is now.
Thank you so much for answering my questions! This is so awesome that I know all this stuff now. It might seem a bit like useless information to know, but I feel even closer to Canterlot now than every before. I guess thats sort of weird, huh...
P.S. I'd kill or a Celestia Waffle...
- Who are the Old Mods?
-
Haha, I love hearing about your adventures as a mod.
It seems like a lot of new members don't read rules (that one guy with the story...) Although I'm sure it is a breath of fresh air to get new members who do the right thing. The 18+ thing seems kind of obvious, if it has anything remotely 18+ it probably belongs in 18+ section. (Although I've heard hat Canterlot wasn't always G...not sure from who, but thats what I've heard.
As for OrangePropellerFox...
I've got him beat... People can't even PRONOUNCE my name correctly.

Don't rush it, LM! I can wait for my art...just work out your stuff first! We all have lives!
xD
To tell the truth, I've put more hours into Canterlot than real life...
I didn't know where to place this comment, therefore:
Of all the best ava- *Shoves Rarity references away remembering who's he addressing*
Seriously, LM, that current avi of yours takes unquestionable lead in the D'aaaawh rankings, effectively giving me a heart attack.
Well what can I say. Its just, just, cute things. They're so cute, and...cute. I have to draw them, but I hesitate to do so because they ruin my friendships, family, life. A friend of mines died today at 06:56 PM because of cuteness. Still morning his loss....of life...to cuteness...

I suggest editing your "c-word" comment and taking out the word, dunno what will happen if the powers above see it.
Just a precaution. Heck, if it gets starred I wouldn't take any shortcuts to make it show up. It gets censored for a reason...
Anyway, love the list, can't wait for more!

Commentary always makes things more fun, hehehe.
The thing is, I curse...alot, (you should hear me play FPS' online >.>) So all you'd hear is BEEPS, sounding like Morse code.
*Stands up* Commen-tary! Commen-tary! COMMEN-TARY! COMMEN-TARY!
And I sound boring (Except when spazzing)

You've been at Canterlot how long and you've JUST decided to make a blog! You owe us ALL very entertaining blog entries missy!
-
He sacrificed his life so that others wouldn't have to suffer his same fate.
I doubt he'd make tutorial videos. He's was probably laughing at the fact that people would ed up like him -3-)
-
You should, like, totally get on my Minecraft server. I'd love to see you there.
Sounds like fun! Except...ehrm...(is noob) How do I do that?
-
This right here, is AWESOME!
Thanks! Next time I'm taking on the Nether! Joy!
-
This is what happens when people don't watch Minecraft tutorial videos before playing...... XD
-w-) What about the first person that ever played. He didn't have any "tutorial" videos.
-
Only way its gonna get out there is if some super popular pony game gets released. I can see it now. Its like counter-strike, but with changelings, ponies, and water balloons.
Sounds legit

Wow, I never thought I'd hear the words.It was fun while it lasted, hopefully somepony will be able to pick back up where you guys left off and give us the same awesome podcast that we looked forward to every week. It will be tough to fill you guys' horseshoes, but I'm confident someone will come along to do the job.
Good luck with your lives!
