Anyone have any archives or backups of the friendshipismagic.org forums? I saw a Facebook post where an admin brought it back in 2023 after it died in 2017 or whatever, but it didn't seem like anyone backed it up. I was one of the first ten or so users, became a mod there, and eventually got to be an admin  at FiM.org for a time since I was longtime online friends with Leighton Ward, the creator/owner of FiM. We came up with FiM.org while we were all shitposting on the RSBuddy and Powerbot runescape botting forums back in 2010-2011. We were all spamming 4shit with ponies after the first episodes of FiM were released, and we were also simultaneously posting ponies on the RSBuddy forums, until the admins started threatening to ban us. So Leighton Ward asked if we'd be down to have our own website to shitpost on. I forgot most of the other original members except DDrgn, Ian, and AnonKun or something like that. Leighton checked and said "holy shit friendshipismagic.org is available" and we all chipped in and he bought the domain ASAP. I think I resigned after leighton became way less active in like 2013-2014 and managing all that shit was ass. The forums notoriously had constant downtime because leighton was the only one with the access and payment info for the domain and forum software subscription. Also, there were founding  users like 7x from rsbuddy, with the same username on FiM.org, who randomly ragequit the fandom and started spamming all the boards with porn and gore nonstop with his faggot online friends. Now that I look back,  he likely was one of the earliest members of the utubeTrollPolice underage trolling group that is now notorious for spamming CSAM and  gore, with some members abusing children irl. There was also some other cringe drama with early members who weren't part of our rsbuddy shitposting Skype clique like this one guy named Jason/Jace, who split off after 6-12 months and started either everypony or some other MLP FiM forum I can't remember the name of. He took the Brony Fandom way too seriously and took a big chunk of FiM users with him, causing a big dent in ad revenue that was all going to paying for the forum's expenses and the dedicated Google play store app we were developing. Anyway, I'd be glad to recover any sort of info, forum posts, user profile pages, etc. My old laptop took a hammer to it and I lost all screenshots and history  from FiM.org
