To be honest, I am not sure why I am even making this thread, it is not like it is important. Anyway, this is the absolute last time I am ever going to EP or EPR. I will be on Skype if anyone needs anything. Good bye, everypony. I do have some rhetorical questions, though: In years past, what will become of you and this place? Will you still go here? Will you still be apart of The Brony Fandom? Will you have done anything with yourself? Will you have accomplished anything? (Not to be answered, hence the word, "rhetorical." If answered, then I have no answer to that.) Think about that--and try to become a better you. Try to become a better community as a whole. You all have potential--do not waist it like you have been. Good luck in life to all of you.
Something that bothers me is that you ask your question as if you think that some of us don't have any lives outside of bronydom. I don't know if this is a misinterpretation, but if it's not I'm slightly offended that you would suggest that some of us our "wasting it" when we aren't. Some of us go to college, and are working on getting their degrees. Some of us are wonderful artists, writers, and musicians. Some of us have families and friends that we enjoy being with. I have an entire life outside of this forum, even if this is a big part of my life. And even with this as a big part of my life, nothing has changed except that I've become less depressed. Now forgive me for ranting if there is something that I had missed that has happened with you on this site in recent times, and forgive me for ranting if I'm just misunderstanding you.
Well I hate to see any member go. Sorry I never really got a chance to know you. Good luck, I wish you the best in life. -- Sent from my Palm Pre using Forums
I don't know you and I'm not going to pretend I do. With only 16 posts in 5 months it doesn't seem like you really participated in the forum much and the few posts I found it seemed like you were just trying to stir the pot. I'm sad to see a fan of MLP leave this site, but still this thread seems like you are looking for a pity party and to stir up a last bit of trouble. That whole rhetorical thing is dumb. A lot of ponies will leave when the show goes off the air. I am part of the Dollars gang which is a gang from the anime Durarara!!! and even though it is gone there are still hundreds of members on there as well. So I am a little worried but the show holds its own and I feel like many of us are making great friendships here, so even though the show is gone the friendships will last and isn't it the whole idea of MLP:FiM? I'm sad to see you go, but maybe you should give it another shot and find a few ponies to hang out with and your outlook my change a bit.
Awww, I hate it when members have to part from the forums. It's your choice, afterall, so there isn't anything stopping you, I guess. Good luck out there, Twilight Spark. I wish you have a wonderful life when you depart from here. You will always be remembered as a part of our hearts, stay safe until we all meet you again.
you have really proven my point. I was holding down my space bar and when I got to the bottom where the member list is I saw your name so I decided to see what you were up to. I kinda knew already I think you are just refreshing to see if anyone begs you to stay. and I read your about me part of your profile. This place isn't dead. New ponies join everyday and many of us have fun and hang out here. You are just having an off day and want somepony to make you feel wanted/needed. Sadly I just want you to grow-up, loosen up and have some fun. worrying about who is going to miss you when you are gone is going to put you in an early grave.
I've posted this quote once, but it seems to fit once more. "Don't frown because it's over, smile because it happened" -Dr. Seuss It sounds like you're trying to do more with your life and this is all holding you back. Whatever works for you, hope you find happiness down the road. However some of us are propelled forward by this community. Why am I replying to this thread? You just said you're never coming back.
It's been a pleasure, Spark. But I do hope you realize that many of us, as has been stated already, hold real lives. But no matter what, I hope you the best in all you do Spark <3 Thanks so much for the time you've spent with us, it's been a blast!
"Don't be so stiff! Let's have some fun." -Morrigan Look, TS. Just get up and enjoy life instead of bein' down in the dumps all the time. It's a downer to everyone else too. Also, pity-party thread is best thread. ...Also, I don't think I've been wasting my time with the community, thank you very much. I've done basically all I can to support everyone here, and not once have I demanded anything in return. Don't take your sorrows out on everyone else. Find your own way to live instead of dragging everyone down like you do. I hate to be direct, but it has to be said.
if you start one, pinkie will come and then it will just be a party thread, and then vinyl will come and it will be a techno party, and then the princesses will show up and it will be a royal party!! MOM!!! Harley ninja'd me!
In years past, what will become of you and this place? I'll be alive, this site will hopefully be alive too. Will you still go here? Hell yes. Will you still be apart of The Brony Fandom? Once a brony, always a brony. Will you have done anything with yourself? Saying hi to my folks in Orlando and getting a Psychology degree. Will you have accomplished anything? I've already accomplished all that I should; be a kind, loving person, no matter the individual. I don't care if it's rhetorical. Those are all questions that can be answered.
Uhm. Okay then. As for your questions? Eh, I dunno. It's kind of a lark, really-I'm here more or less because of a crazy idea, and I've stayed because I've made some decisions, there things I wanna do, and I think that there's fun to be had still. I admit, I think the entire MLP thing does have a vibe of short life-I hope it doesn't, but it has that feel, but I will always be a fan, and will therefore probably always pop my head in this place or another, even if it's not with frequency-hell, I'm primarily a lurker in places I'm active, I watch more than I participate, so. As for what will I accomplish? Hopefully many things. My problem is that I chase too many rabbits. But this site-and others- don't eat up so much of my time that I'm neglecting anything important. I'm on my way to breaking out of the cozy coffin of my current life, one way or another, and I'm half way to getting a working degree. So, if yer implying that this site or being a Brony fan will halt my life, It's possible. Not really probable. Not knowing you, it does seem like you're stirring a little bit of mud, singing what Sondheim would call "Another National Anthem". But I really don't know. So, wherver you go in life, may you always find the courage and the grace to make a splash and the fortitude to stick around to make it last.
that is odd.... oh!! i think he was one of the Role playing Ponies here! just when the RP part of EP was shut down, he thought that EP was going down too. i know about 3 others who left EP for the same reason, because they though EP was falling because of the RP server going down.
Whatever you feel is best for your life, Spark, you do it. Me? I'm happy here. This place gives me other stuff to do.
I separate my online and real life personas. EPR isn't a life, but it's something to do with free time. FoxyTail already summed up how the fandom inspires and what it cannot do for you. I was under the impression that just about everyone here had greater responsibilities beyond the fandom. I'm probably one of the minority who has virtually no real life obligations like school or a job. Even then, I am not devoid of responsibilities.
Er yeah. I'm music producer & DJ which takes up 80% of my time. As mentioned most of use have live outside of a fandom, I mean football fans have lives outside of that why not the same for this fandom? Were not like some WOW players who spend 20hrs a day on the game lol we have lives outside of this. But yeah have fun in whatever you do
If there was ever a thread that should be frozen... Nothing good can come of this thread. Absolutely nothing.
