Hello World, I'm a Blog!
Hiya!

So blogging about stuff is a new thing I'm going to start trying out. Found a basic website free to use, spruced it up a little on the backend with some duck tape and glued some googly eyes on and viola! Better than new!

I've got a bit of a backlog of stuff to write about, so expect to see some new stuff soon! I really got strapped onto a rocket-powered rollercoaster when I offered to start hosting a Minecraft server for y'all, and this past year has been a doozy!

Hope to see ya soon!

Story Time!

BronyTales History
On April 14th 2019, BronyTales opened to the public as a “crash pad” for players being displaced from another MLP Minecraft server that had announced it would be shutting down. Over time, it has grown from a hastily-released half-finished development server to a full fledged community, to which I am forever grateful for everyone involved - players, staff, donors, even the trolls. Without you all, we would not be where we are today.

More about the history of BronyTales after the break!
