I only really became a part of the community last year and it feels like joining a party right as everyone is going home.I view MLP G4 as this creative playground for countless works and stories to be made.I myself want to partake in these creative works that the fandom makes but can it truly be timeless or will it fizzle out in the next 5 to 10 years thus making it not worth getting into.I'm constantly dreading this fandom just going silent one day.Is it dying?
>not worth getting intoare you only doing it for whatever internet fame you would get out of appealing to a dwindling fanbase?>fandom going silent one dayit won't as long as there are autists screeching at each otherOP is a fag, as usual
Been here since 2012(pre-scruffening) ur looking at it the wrong way...just enjoy p0ni if u enjoy p0ni
>>41029857This reads like a twitter post the fandom is not going anywhere stop panicking over nothing fag
>>41029857The fandom sucks dick whether it is alive or dead but I still want to come inside Rainbow Dash regardless.
I'm gonna delete the fandom in about five years, actually. I just gotta finish gooning firstso, yeah, don't bother op
>>41029857The board feels like it's picked up speed.
>>41029857The board feels like it's slowed down.
The board feels like it's stable.
The board feels.
>>41029886Picked up sneed
This board was never good
>>41029857It'll last forever. And I'm not being optimistic, that's just a realistic fact. When you combine the autism of fandom (especially the MLP fandom) with the universal obsession of nostalgia (especially early 2010s internet nostalgia), you've got a perfect recipe for a fandom that will last forever. Modern MLP fan content is almost a cynical novelty. "Whoa, Greg is still making RDP. Whoa, Scootertrix and Makaryo are still making pony content. It's just like 2013!" We focus on the quaintness that it exists in the first place, rather than the actual value of the work itself like we did in 2011. But it's better than nothing. Invader Zim fans had to wait 13 years. Clone High fans held out hope for 20 years. And we're way more autistic than them, so don't worry.
>>41029857If it's dying in 5-10 years, which doesn't seen likely, that's still a fuck ton of time to have fun. And let me tell you, it's as fun as ever if you know where to look. /mlp/ is a gold mine if you know how to enjoy it. You sound like you want to make stuff and we still have a huge inflow of beginner artists and creators improving by the day, you won't be alone as a latecomer
>>41029885>Finish gooningAnon, we both know that's never going to happen.
>>41029857look man I can't be bothered to reply properly but people were whinging about the fandumb dying back in like 2016 so w/e
>>41029934>creators improving every daylol, lmao even
>>41029893You think so?
>>41029857Ill be here till I die, and stay in contact with my pony friends even if ponies disappear. Some of them have left the fandom and we still keep in touch.
>>41029980I hope so
>>41029984I guess we'll be fine.
>Caring about the "community"This never goes well. Enjoy poni independently of company or lack thereof.
>>41029982Based Cheerichad. Pony is forever, fandom or no fandom.
>>41029857I will die with this herd.
>>41029857This decade we will blow up again with new merch, ai episodes and being able to buy the ip if the fandom makes a serious effort. Hasbro is burning down for real this time. It won't survive this decade, lol.
>>41029969Yes? Have you taken a look at the quality of work produced over time?
>>41029926This anon is black
>>41030224No I'm half white.
>>41029934>mfw I read that as latecoomer
I want to latecome inside /mlp/
>>41030233So, a zigger then?
>>41030175two more weeks
>>41029857ride never ends, welcome
I've been thinking about it too. Saw pone back in 2022, when the show was over. I didn't know about it in 2010 and it started without me, it peaked in about 2012-ish and I wasn't there and the show was over before I arrived. It sucks seeing all the awesome shit people made back in 2012 so late to the party. But, as anons said, the ride never ends.Take this, I think you'll enjoy it: https://youtu.be/qzMkMy9AkY4?si=Ac1ZDuKr_icgxU9b
>>41029857it's been dead and propped up by cringy coomers for years now, just enjoy the old content
