Club Pony Pals News

Dear Pony Pals

Our members' number one request is "how can I become pals with other members?" As of today, it's easier than ever. On every member's personal page, there are two new buttons. Just below "What I want other Pony Pals to know" is ""I Want Pals." Its normal setting is "Yes." That setting means every time a member signs in, their username displays on our new " Pony Pals Please page" for 24 hours. When a member logs in, their user name automatically appear on this new page. Members can also choose to not be listed by clicking on the "yes" button until it says "no, thanks."

I want pals

 

Want to see which other Pony Pals might be online when you are ? Our code writers are helping you to find out with our new and improved Pony Pals Please page. Click on the "see who wants pals" button to visit our new Pals, please page.

see who wants pals

Each time you log on your username goes to the top of that list.

pals please

If you want to hear from other pals who also want to make new pals, this new page is the place to start right away. When you are logged in, you can click on any member's name. You will go to their personal page. If their profile looks interesting, click on "send them a gift" to send them a an item from our gift catalog. Any gift automatically sends a request to be Pals, too!

Make sure and check your My Pals list to see if you have any Pal requests.

Remember, all messages between members get a 100% review by adult humans and must obey our site policy: nothing mean, creepy or personally identifying allowed.

Pony Pal Thoughts for the Day

Happiness is when what you think,
what you say,
and what you do are in harmony.

_____

I object to violence because when it appears to do good,
the good is only tempoarary; the evil it does is permanent.

_____

When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won.
There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall.
Think of it -- always.

______

“I claim to be no more than an average man with less than average abilities.
I have not the shadow of a doubt that any man or woman
can achieve what I have,if he or she would make the same effort
and cultivate the same hope and faith.”

Mahatma Gandhi - October 2, 1869 - 1948
