The community is extremmly limited and ever since it became limited its been absolute shit. I noticed this trend beginning in about April-May and since then our community has lost all of its touch. There's this mainstream flow you have to be with or else no one else cares. Music is probably the best example your either wooden toaster, livingtombstone or some other mainstream fucktard using looped beats and extremly edited voice in small portions. Or you make remixes. That's the only way your every going to catch the community's attention and probably how it will remain. Now to call are selves a community is an over statement. When I joined the community,on most forums I lurked there's was sense that everyone knew eachother well.then as times went on some forums became more popular ( this one) and others died. There's a few that went under that actually directed there users to come to this forum. The numbers of users got so staggering and there was always new users coming in you couldn't find that sense of community anymore, and it seemed that it was just a bunch of people you didn't know fighting over stuff you couldn't give less of a fuck about. Now the community is completely doom gloom and mainstream flow. No, there's actually a few micro community's that still remain. There hard to find but if you do find one the user community tends to be small and it becomes easy to get know eachother, also tumbler bronies seem to have stuck together well and still have a community feel, even if the generally travel in smaller groups. Also, NSFW has an amazing sense of community, probably the most connected pony community around. If you can draw 'da pornz' then you quickly become known and often times get at a point where you talk and share with the top artists, something that is nearly impossible to find in the other art community's. There. That's my rant.

Nothing lasts forever guys, even if the fandom dies out long after we die, it will still die eventually. To be honest in my opinion sooner then later. The collectors that have been here since G1 will probably stay, but the brainwashed mainstream group so called "bronys" will probably die out soon. I give them 5 years.

Honestly this fandom will always be seen as 'creepy' by regular Internet users. So far the larger the fandom has become the larger the anti fandom grows. Eventually I think the whole fandom is going to implode on itself or atleast split into hundreds of microfandoms, probably sooner then later. And yes I'm talking about the R34 war. It toke me 4 months to except R34 and before I excepted I wanted it dead and in no way to be connected to our fandom. With a huge increase in members joining the damson, most with the same veiws as my earlier ones, it's only a matter of time before some thing happens.

The minute you visit /mlp/ then it's unhealthy. That stuff isn't just hazardous to your health, but your sanity to.

Somewhere between 500,000 and 1,000,000. It's hard to say considering not everyone watches the episodes on YouTube, and not everyone watches the same version or upload of the episodes on YouTube. It also dosent account for those who watched it twice. I know I've watched most episodes2 times.
