The My Little Pony Trading Post is the longest-running online discussion forum for MLP collectors worldwide, created in 1996. Originally located at mlptp.com, the forum permanently moved to mlptp.net in 2005. It has undergone many changes throughout the years, both in design and leadership. In 2022, the forum adopted its pink and aqua theme with its own mascot, designed by MLPTP administrator MustBeJewel and brought to life by renowned MLP artist Marco Albiero. A naming contest was held, and Posty was the winning name.

[[Posty]] was brought to life in toy form in 2023 with the help of [[HQG1C]] and limited to 300 pieces. Supporters were able to choose their own Posty number and received a package of TP goodies with their pony.

Since then, more merchandise items were released, and a Baby Posty was released in 2025. See main [[Posty]] page.

==My Little Pony Arena==

[[File:Arena.gif|thumb|MLP Arena Logo]]
The My Little Pony Arena was created in 2003 as an alternative to the MLPTP, whose site admin had disappeared, leaving the forum to become infested with spam.  The MLP Arena offers a faster-paced forum environment than the MLPTP. It too connects collectors worldwide through discussion, buying/selling/trading, and swaps. Most community members maintain memberships on both forums, and both forums have run harmoniously since the MLPTP moved to its .net home in 2005, as mentioned above.

The MLP Arena has its own mascot, as well, unofficially called "Lady Arena." She was designed by sirithfin, and many pony customizers and artists have created their own versions of her over the years. She can be seen on the left side of the Arena logo.
