I'd say this is what most fandoms experience. We had our high point with the revival of MLP thanks to Lauren Faust and the pinnacle with Tirek. Then as time passed some people grew outta MLP:FiM like a fad, others were disappointed and left. Fandoms are hard to sustain. Look at the Star Wars series. Its incredible that they lasted for over 8 movies and still grow as they do now.

Personally I still think the fandom is vibrant and strong as ever for FiM, but the hiatus and the loss of older members and diminished hype appeal somewhat detracts from that. Its a natural cycle that hopefully the community will adapt to and grow from.

Also as always its good to hear from you again. I always enjoy seeing old members return.

A ghost town? Obviously you’ve never visited EQDF.
