That was an 1st April Fools prank.

It was an April fools day prank by the mods.

The mods manually changed thread titles to have pony themes for April Fool's.

Unfortunately for them, that meant they also had to manually change them back. So a few have slipped through the cracks.

All the names of the threads just changed their names today for me, so it freaked me out.

We started changing names in the evening of the 31st EDT (since it was already April Fools for many forum-goers) and we stopped in the evening of the 1st EDT. No Pony names have been added since, although it's possible some threads have been bumped up.

There's a thread for discussing the event http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1363028-my-little-pony-april-foals-day/ so I'll go ahead and lock this thread.

Some names we changed back ourselves, but we've mostly left it up to OPs if they want their titles changed back.
