I for one have practically lost all interest in anything related to the fandom, I can't see anything ever rekindling it either. I'd have changed my signautre and avatar by now if GameSpot wasn't being as glitchy as Big Rigs! I was just curious as to where the interest lies for you lot though.

I recently bought 2 pony related shirts, have ponies on the desktop, still occasionally watch episodes and other related videos. Not to mention we've got some pretty cool fan-made games still being made. And fan fics... lots and lots of reading there. So yeah.....bring on the ponies :P

And honestly....it's still growing on me. So long as the fandom can continue to put out all this different material, I can see myself still being into it well into next year.

Last December. So around 9 months now. And while that's not as long as some others, it's certainly been long enough to see all the ins and outs of the fandom. And I'm typically very single-minded with my interests, so it's always about me just wanting to enjoy it for what it is, and leaves little time for me want to get into anything else.

I'd estimate I started in June, so I guess I had longer to get bored and go off it. :P

Not regularily no. Pop in every few months or so, maybe, like I have been. That's more so because it's practically deserted here now than the lack of interest though.

Well, I'll see how things are in another 6 months :P

Probably the same as now. Can't see why it wouldn't be otherwise. :?

I was away for 6 months. I thought many here considered that abondining as I popped in and everyone was like "You... You betrayed us! Go back to the shadows you outcast! We want nothing to do with your kind no more!" :lol:

I was referencing the amount of time you've been exposed to the show and also losing interest in it, which would be another 6 months for me. But I have no doubt I'll be as keen on it as I am now.

For me, a "long time" is long when it's like 1 week or maybe even a month. so yes. being away for 6 moths is a very very long for me!

I'll never get back the initial "OMG THIS SHOW IS SO AWESOME" almost obsessive feeling I had back when I first started watching. My feelings towards the show have definitely changed, but I don't know if 'lessened' is the right word. It's more that my interest has gone in a different direction. And I've gotten too into reading/writing fanfiction to fully lose interest any time soon.

Maybe, it's possible season 3 will blow me away and get me excited about ponies again. I'm happy with just the fandom for now though.

The fanbase ruins alot of the show for me, especially now when it seems like it's "cool" to be a brony. The show is good, but I can't stand when bronies don't accept the fact that people don't like it. No matter what you say, men liking My Little Pony is different and somewhat strange. If you're a sensible person, you would ignore the haters; not shove your love for the show down their throats with your toys and t-shirts. I guarantee you that bronies will be virtually gone in about a year and a half, maybe less.

I'm pretty sure that most are fine with others not watching the show. As with everything, the vocal minority are usually the ones that people pay most attention to. And even when it inevitably lessens in popularity, the fanbase has become far too large to disappear all that quickly.

If the fandom does sooner or later obtain relative obscurity, it'll be a much more gradual thing over several years.

Wishful thinking, perhaps. But I'm sure a lot of people just want to focus on the good points and enjoy it for what it is while it lasts... however long that will be.

I'm trying to keep pretty realistic as far as season 3 goes. I mean, obviously I want it to be good. But I don't want to trick myself into thinking it will be the greatest thing since... well, ponies, I guess... Because even if it only turns out to be just "good" for a lot of people, I'm also pretty content with just enjoying the fandom.

The internet seems to be pretty well over the show now. I rarely see arguments between fans and non fans anymore. And I really doubt it'll be gone in less than two years. It's pretty huge, it'll take a while for it to disappear completely.

I'm not getting especially hyped about it, at least not yet. I know it'll be great, at least as good as Season 2.

Well, from deviantART and stuff I see a lot less pictures and interest in it. Even some of the more popular artists have stopped drawing it altogether or have slowed down production to about 25% of what they were previously at.

No argument there man. I can relate that with the stuff going on with the other forums I visit.in a Halo thread They said they wouldn't go "OMG! HALO4 can't wait, HALO4 is best game!" like that hyped. the same goes for Season 3 I guess.

I think a lot of that has to with the length of this break. We're coming on 5 months of no ponies, hard to keep making fan content with nothing new canon to base it on. We'll see what happens Season 3 finally rolls around, then we can decide whether or not the fandom is really degrading.

Seeing YouTube videos of Anti-My Little Pony with so many dislikes and negative comments; whatever happened to the whole 'Love and Tolerate' moral that bronies reckoned to abide by? It's a TV show, yet people act like it's a whole new religion.

meconate

Yeah, most new bronies see that way. I just see that as words of inspiration, if you ask me. 

The new Bronies are weird and so unlike us old bronies.

I think it's been the opposite, I don't see ponies being spammed around on the internet nearly as much as I used to. Seems like most of the more pretentious people have calmed down.

Traitor !!! :P

No I guess I'm not as excited about the show as I used to be but that's because there haven't been any new episodes in awhile.

I haven't lost interest at all just not as excited but I still love the show !!!

Once season 3 rolls around I know I will be as excited as ever !!
