    I'm not so sure but a couple or half of our elderly community has left the forums. The only ones surviving are the very few of the elder and the newcomers. I'm worried about this forum.

    The forum is NOT dead. It maybe less active. People have been pulled away due to personal problems. If they return is up to them. We can't control life. Sometimes things happen that make us change something in are life.

    I understand what your saing though. I feel like maybe 2-3 months ago something change in thid forum. Like something just left.

    But this forum shall remain strong. I never plan on leaving.

    Hoildays may be causing the forum to seem dead.

    Haha wow.
    This is stupid.

    The forum isn't 'dying' at all. It's holidays, some people don't have access to computers.
    Also things such as 'real life' are probably getting in the way of some ponies posting too.

    I won't be leaving any time soon...

    And I don't think it's dieing, it's the holidays, ponies are seeing
    family, New Years JUST ended, it's only been 5-6 days since
    Christmas Day, give it time.

    And just like Butterfly & Pixel said, there is such thing as real life
    priorities, that comes first, things like school work, family, social life
    away from ponies comes first.

    The forums are NOT dieing any time soon.

    Are you trolling or something? These forums have a huge amount of regular users, old and new, and are continuously growing. They are very much thriving, dude.

    I've been here since June, and nearly all of the regulars from that time are still just that: regulars. Your concerns seem to be based upon completely fabricated foundations.

    I'm not even voting on this; I just hope it gets locked as soon as possible, because as Glitter Butterfly said:

    I hope this is just a wind up, but should you be serious, I only advise you think before you speak, else you end up looking a bit daft, i.e. like now.

    Live and learn though, I suppose.

    I don't know what kind of food pyramid kids these days are learning about, but when I was in school, the grains part of it didn't include six daily servings of melodramatic nonsense.

    Not that many have left actually. Yes we have a few, but I think more joins than there is people leaving. Despite, we are a way larger community than most other fanbases I am part of.

    No, it's not dying.

    I have no doubts that it will die in many, many years, though.

    Of course it'll eventually die, all things lose steam and die down. However, this will not happen for many, many years, certainly not until after the show is off the air. And even when the forum does get shut down and the bronies move on, the friendships formed and the messages taught will live on. You can't keep a good fanbase down, and who knows, maybe when I'm older and have kids of my own I'll start lobbying for the shows comeback :)

    Guys, guys, guys...
    (and the ~5 girls that come here, you know who you are)
    Your looking in general discussion at all these "Goodbye" threads, and have you yet checked out the "Introductions" area?
    Its like that text game we played, you know.

    Number of People : 50
    And each post you can +1/-1.

    We're not losing members any faster than we are gaining them, if you are really worried about it perhaps you can put a link to everypony some place else hmm?

    Really? Now this is no way to celebrate the new year. If you have your worries, there are better ways to express them. Since I see no beneficial reason for keeping it, I'm closing this thread and poll.

    ~Closed~
