Time flies when you're having fun. And boy, I sure have had a blast over these nearly seven years. And things may have slowed down a little, but there are still memories to be made and good times to be had. You just have to know where to look.

Would have been more if the show had never happened?

>>30422721
I dunno man, feels like such a short amount of time. I don't know where I'd be if it weren't for pony. Probably an hero desu

As time fades away, and as we get old, our memories will last, framed in gold

We've got almost a third of the posts that /co/ has, despite being around for about half as long and dedicated to one show.
/co/: April 6, 2006
/mlp/: February 17, 2012

When pic related, the thread for the first episode of FiM, was made on /co/, the board had less posts than we currently have—it was Post No. 20460984 and occurred on October 10, 2010. It took /co/ 4 years, 6 months, and 4 days to reach that first pony thread. We reached our 20460984th post on November 2, 2014—that's 2 years, 8 months, and 16 days since our inception.

To be fair, /co/ was somewhere in the 33000000-34000000 range when /mlp/ was created, and today it sits in the 90000000s while /mlp/ is slowing down.
