So hear me out here, but if you think of it, the PSF community has been through a ton!  So far we've always come out good though.

So think of this, PSF's community started in other communities as small groups.  There was a group from MLPChan/PonyChan, and there were some at SneezeFurs and DeviantArt.  It was the group at Sneezefurs, led by Smiles2us, that got PSF 1.0 going.  The group at the chans were known for being kind, caring, and civil, and people just left them alone.  They thrived off the pony sneeze art that came from artists like MasterXtreme from DeviantArt.

Due to the the wishes of the SneezeFurs admin, their dislike for MLP:FiM, they forced MLP off their site.  That turned into a blessing and they did try to help support the new forum and give it equal time to move.  So PSF 1.0 was created with Proboards and somehow, all the people from DeviantArt and the chans moved over.  In no time everyone enjoyed a wondrous time at PSF.  There were some rough patches in dealing with a member or two, but overall it was peaceful and happy for about a year.

Then right at Christmas time, 2015, Proboards pulled a unwarranted move and shut down PSF.  Right at the peak of their Christmas celebrations.  The site had a community of 140 people are some 30,000 posts.  The site was shut down.  Darrin and Smiles2us worked to try and get the site back to no avail.

Meanwhile what was left of a shattered community moved to another Proboards site (ha ha, kinda dumb move if we look back on it) and created PSF 2 which was to be temporary.  Darrin and Smiles2us found Yasl, or something like that, and they went to work on a new site, and $400 dollars later, they go us an SMF site.  We somehow all moved to that after a turbulent month long wait which seemed like forever.

Now here we are.  Let us pray to God that this is the end of our struggles and hardship.  Everything works nicely and looks great, and many hours/money have been put into this community which continues to grow.  I just wanted to share a brief PSF history to people old and new.  If you know more I didn't share, please share what you know.

Here's to many, many years of success!

Haha, yeah, pretty sure that should be 140.

I'm just a long-time lurker.

The community for our fetish IS pretty damned big despite us being not very well known about.

Such a touching and grueling history, heh heh.
But yeah, the PSF community has gone through a lot. But we've shown the strong ties our community has by sticking together.

He meant 140 members.  This is a pretty accurate, and Yasl found us.

Wouldn't trade it for the world.  All it did was make us stronger.

Just hope it's done for now. ;)

We went through a lot.  I feel we are a tighter knit group because of that.

True, I like Kelly Clarkson's songs. They usually have a nice message, along with being catchy as hell.
