I have been on Ponyisland on and off for years. Each time I come back Is better than the last. Personally I love the growth aspect that PI has taken as well as the different amount of items during the events. It makes it more enjoyable. DVS are even able to be obtained if you enter the raffles or win them during events, or even buy one from another user. As for those who say the rules are too strict, yes I do agree to a point. However, Ponyisland is a Pg-13 site and when reading the rules when you first signed up you could see that

Also, if your family enjoys playing the game you do have to pay for full acess to the site. Or if you want to try the trial account (which is called trial for a reason). But you can have multiple people on one IP address play. There is a forum where you just state that you share the same IP but are not the same person. You can also state this in your user presenation as well to avoid any issues.

Lastly to adress the issue with the mods. I have never had a personal issue where any of them were rude to me. I believe a lot of the complaints are people not getting their way, or not knowing how to take how people speak (or type in this case). A few mods are blunt, but that is just how they are. Simple and to the point.
All in all if you want a site to enjoy for many years to come I 100% recommend Ponyisland. You wont regret it!
