Ziemniax 
So, with G4 wrapping up soon, i decided to make the list of artists and animators that used to be in the fandom in these past 9 years and i happened to stumble upon/like their work. For some reasons they either decided to quit doing pony art, quit doing art in general, quit being associated with pony fandom in any ways, they didn't upload for a longer period of time or they just simply vanished.
If you remember at least half of the names here, i tip my hat for you :P
If there are names that shall be here but aren't - they are still active around the fandom in some way or simply i don't remember them for one reason or another.
