Careful with this one: frenchy-ponies.fr is not dead. A crawler reached it on 17 August 2026 and saved a page. Our server did not, which is what a site that blocks data centre addresses looks like from the outside.
What sat at this address
The Internet Archive's first working copy of frenchy-ponies.fr is from September 2012 and it holds 127 days of captures in total.
The page called itself "Frenchy-ponies: La communauté brony francophone de MLP:FiM ! - Page d’accueil". The directory recorded it as a Glype install, which is what nearly all of these sites were.
2016, 13:49 FanFictions Postez-ici vos fictions inspirées de My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.
That is the site's own description, from the capture of 2 November 2025.
The listing that carried it, on the free proxy directory workingproxysites.com, is 13 years old, and 1,675 people clicked through from there. The directory recorded it as France.
When it went quiet
The last capture that shows the proxy itself is from 2 November 2025 and the archive kept visiting until 17 August 2026.
What the name does today
We checked frenchy-ponies.fr on 10 September 2026 from our own server in Germany. It answers, and the page is titled "Frenchy-ponies: La communauté brony francophone de MLP:FiM ! - Information".
Where to go from here
A list with a visible last-checked time beats a remembered domain. Ours re-verifies every few minutes; the checker tests a single address if you would rather bring your own.
Expect what free has always meant: shared addresses that targets recognise, and no session persistence, which breaks anything behind a login.
Where the record runs out
There is no account of who ran it or why they stopped. Small sites like this one leave dates behind, not explanations, and we would rather say so than fill the gap.
Treat the check as one sample: taken on one day, from one network. Anything refusing data centre traffic looks identical to something switched off. Due for a recheck by 1 January 2027.
