Since i've been on a My Little Pony binge for the past few weeks and started seeing fan content more often again, I thought i'd recommend some userstyles for FIMFiction, a pretty popular site for fanfictions of the franchise that i've been using since 2020. Unfortunately, most that i've found haven't been updated in a LONG time so lots of them don't work anymore but there's some that still do:

Ratings Boxifier
Makes the votes bar look more "boxy" like they did before the 4.0 update.

Makes the genre tags use unique colors again.

Restores the old system for character tags, separating them from other tags below the story and with images of the characters instead of names. It's fully functional and images were given to characters who did not exist before the system was changed.

Restores the old green color of the menubar and changes the position of buttons to match how it was pre-4.0 although it's slightly broken, messes up the capitalization of the text.

Restore Old Logo
Uses the old logo the site used before 2013, there's a more recent style with the same idea but when I tried it the logo didn't show up. Positioning is a bit broken so imo it's best paired with the menubar. (Note, after checking the FIMFiction Advanced script, it's specifically the Rainbow Dash logo. I'm guessing that's the one they primarily used)

This is more of a general "quality of life" script but i'm sharing it for one specific reason, it is so far the ONLY working thing I can find that properly reimpliments the sites old banner system into the current UI. It's not 100% accurate to how it was back then but it's functional and looks nice. Also I just found the advanced settings while writing this, and it turns out there's also options to change the sites font to Classic (which changes the fonts to the ones they used up until 2013/2014 I think?), changing the logo which has a TON of variations of the old logo for many of the characters, and changing the background image. (minor update: i found out the banner is broken if you have your local font size set to anything other than default, it was only made with 16 in mind)

to everyone: sorry for the delay! i've been dealing with some personal stuff recently so i haven't had the time or energy to get to your submissions, the issue has been resolved and i should be able to check on this more frequently, sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience!

to MiguelKenjiLOL69: removed, thanks for letting me know!

to HIDEN: updated the link, thanks for sending!

to xX_3mdiv1der78_Xx: replaced the 2006-2007 link with the unofficial update, please let me know when an official update comes out for the original, i won't be checking

to Yadier: this website doesn't work, at least not for me (does it use flash? i have ruffle installed and nothing happened). i won't be adding this, thanks for sending anyways!

to Ginger1234: added and removed everything, thanks for sending! (btw, does the pixel gun world private server have a name? i just put the link in for the website because i don't know what else to call it. i'm not calling it pixel gun world because that's the name of the game)

to Xhepyxl: normally i don't like adding themes that come in a bunch of little pieces OR themes that are fairly old, but

  1. no alternatives exist for the website
  2. you compiled them SO so nicely!!
thank you for sending!! added!!!

to MetalSparda: while i heavily dislike adding things that are only going for a vibe rather then directly trying to emulate (when direct emulation is possible, that is), this looks pretty well made, seems to be closer to the era then TF2 classic and most importantly: no better alternative exist. thanks for sending, added!

Thanks for adding the FIMFiction stuff I sent! It does kinda stink it's split between so many styles/scripts but unfortunately nobody's tried making one for the whole old UI yet. I tried making one of my own a while ago by combining and fixing the code of all the ones I sent over but that turned out to be WAY beyond my current abilities. I think with the ones I sent you can get it pretty close to how the site looked and felt back in 2013/2014. If the person making FIMFiction Advanced ever fixes the scaling bug with font sizes and adds a Classic option to the banner it could even be near-perfect. I should try messaging them about that sometime.

to Ginger1234: i'm not going to label the private server the same as the game, i wouldn't link to a website called "Minecraft" for example, it's just confusing!

to newlinerseries: chatgpt legacy isn't remaking anything (also AI is GROSS), the roblox link is a broken userstyles.org link and nothing related to Meta will be linked here. discord classic appears to be a different version of iOS discord classic, however i'm pretty sure this version is in active development so i'll replace that with this. thanks for sending!

to garlicgremlin: thanks for letting me know, removed!

to kiisoki: this is REALLY cool! i might even consider joining!! added, thanks for sending!

to Ginger1234: yeesh, that's a loooot of links >-<, i'll get to looking through those after i'm done with everyone elses submissions, then i'll edit this post and get back to you! (hopefully i dont hit the limit, though im pretty sure a lot of this is second part material :P)

EDIT:

Rolling through the list I noticed:

  • Defiance went back up officially a couple months ago, so I won't be adding that
  • I couldn't find out much about a handful of these links or what they're meant to do, if I don't mention it and it wasn't added that's why
  • Dawnshard is already on there
  • Was Need for Speed: Most Wanted originally able to play online multiplayer? I added it, but if it couldn't then I shouldn't have
  • DWC is not really necessary and including it could end up splintering the users between Wiimfii and DWC, adding it is a bad idea for both space and the users
  • Destination Home is already on the list, however the link is outdated and it seems to be out of closed beta, so I updated it
  • LegacyFix is already included in Betacraft, however since there are other launchers people use in place of Betacraft I have decided to remove the launcher and replace it with this
this took a WHILE (2 hours ;-;). still, thanks for sending!

to MiguelKenjiLOL69: added the startube themes, the myspace one AND classic reddit: rewrite. the userscript is linked on the rewrite as an alternative though so adding it would be pointless. thanks for sending AND for already having them hyperlinked (makes my life easier), added!!

to MiguelKenjiLOL69: added the second thing, the first link says the second link is more accurate and having 2 things that do the same thing but one is worse doesn't make much sense. thanks for sending!

to newlinerseries: can you send the mobile websites? also, why did you link to an archive of spiritaccount? the regular website is still up and featured on one of the two parts

to niksavc: added, thanks for sending!

to Ginger1234: added the Cars games, which programmer art texture pack is the most accurate? Let me know and I'll replace all the other ones I've linked with that instead. thanks for sending!

i think there should be a separate category for the sites/apps that aren't direct recreations/revivals of any one website but are moreso just inspired by the whole old web stuff. sites like hjonk.me and bojansocial could fit in that category
