Responsible for the bulk of the recovery and restoration of the original site's assets and holder of the current domain. Lex Rudera: Editor-in-chief, administrator and one half of the recovery and revival team.RedEnchilada: third site runner and last owner/active user of the original Equestria Gaming.Arctic Lux: rookie blogger, was the most active reviewer at some point.Responsible for Click the Twilight Sparkle, which he gave a 10/10 in a fake review on April Fools Day. Enigma Sage: administrator and blogger.Was responsible for most site theme modifications, optimizations, and other backend changes. XTUX345: second head of the website and creator of the Arcade.Departed in January 2012, save for one post on August 22nd of that year covering the final Luna Game. Strawberry Spice: founder and site runner of the original Equestria Gaming.Much like its first hiatus, however, this too wouldn't last long, as a new team would soon resurrect the site with an ever-so-slightly different domain in September of that same year. In April 2016, after a long period of inactivity stretching from the previous year, the original site went defunct as the domain name expired. In terms of specific events, not much occurred between this point and the next major one, save for the eventual transition of power between Xtux and then-site-runner RedEnchilada and the gradually increasing lack of activity. Control of the site at this point was given to Xtux, who had previously updated the site's logo and replaced the theme with a newer, more modern one. Together, they were successful in helping bring the site back up to speed and paving the way for an easy transition when Strawberry Spice stepped down as site runner in January 2012. This hiatus did not last long however, as soon enough two new authors, XTUX345 and Enigma Sage, were hired. Shortly after, on December 18th, 2011, Strawberry Spice announced that the site would be going on hiatus, stating there was simply "just no time for it anymore".
After this, Equestria Gaming experienced a surge in popularity lasting for a few months, until activity began slowing back down later on in the year. The site was relatively unknown until the now-infamous Luna Games were banned from Equestria Daily, and people began to try visiting other websites in their individual quests to find this elusive creepypasta.
Sometime in early 2011, a Brony named Strawberry Spice realized that the fandom lacked a central website dedicated to My Little Pony Friendship is Magic fan games, so he decided to create one himself.
