Wait, what? I go inactive for a few days and suddenly there is talk of the fandom falling apart? Good lord, I had no idea leaving the oven on would cause this... O_o No, but seriously. Is this really a thing? I don't see it happening honestly. It will take a lot more than Twilight sprouting wings to destroy the fandom... hell I don't think much of anything could destroy this fandom entirely.

  & Oh god yeah that episode was amazing. There has been several times I've gotten close to shedding a tear during this show. This is the first time that I actually did. One tear, but still lol.

Fillies and Gentlecolts, welcome to Pony Drought 2013. Now begins the wait for Season 4, which was confirmed as far as I know. The fan base will sustain itself through its creative awesomeness like always.

Cooler said it best, and likely speaks for quite a few of the people that supported the theory that Twilight would go Alicorn: But seriously though, I don't mind at all. In fact, I think Twilight looks awesome and rather adorable as an Alicorn. Although I might be a bit biased since well, you know, I am an avid believer that Twilight Sparkle is best pony. I am looking forward to seeing how this occurs in the final episode. I doubt the writers will disappoint, those guys are amazing at what they do.

I look back fondly on the day I finally jumped down the metaphorical rabbit hole and became a brony. I wouldn't say I miss those times, because there was a great deal of fear in that first month. I was terrified of what my friends and family would think of me. Fortunately those fears were not needed in the end as my family and all of my real friends were perfectly fine with me being a brony.

Oh believe me, you are far from the only Twilight Sparkle fan in existence. I've said it once, I've said it twice, I've said it hundreds and hundreds of times since the day I first stood proudly beside the Brony banner one year ago, and will probably say it many more times: "Twilight Sparkle is best pony." Also, welcome to the forums.

The Brony Phenomenon? A fad? Yeah I'm gonna go out on a limb and say... no. I believe that Bronies are here to stay. Name one fad that got conventions, brought people together, inspired so much charity, created entire communities on forums and in online games, created countless volumes of music, art, and videos. Name one fad that led some people to happier lives and, in some cases, sparked their desire to write, sing, draw, etc. Honestly I'd say it's far too soon to predict anything about the future. To my knowledge, nothing like the Brony Phenomenon has ever happened before. So who knows where things will go?

I watched the documentary last night. Holy crap it was amazing. I really enjoyed watching it, and will probably watch it again and again and again. I felt it really captured the essecne of what Bronies are about. The animated sequences with a certain someone singing nearly made my head explode from the awesomeness... along with laughing hysterically. I cannot wait to get the blu ray discs next month, totally worth every last penny I gave to that kickstarter.

Yeah I'm not out to "convert", I'd say it's more awakening others to the possiblity that you can like a show that is intended for a target audience that you are not part of and not feel ashamed of it. But like many things I have been a fan of, I just show support for it. I wear the t-shirts, wear the Brony Bracelet on my right arm, make references to the show, post pictures/video/songs on my Facebook, etc. I will occasionally talk about it as well. That's all I need to do. I've gotten quite a few people I know to try out the show just by doing that. Even my parents finally gave the show a try when they saw how into it I was.

Never. Not in a million years. Absolutely not. Don't count on it. Negative. No way jose. Nein. Uh-uh. Nah. And of course: NO. I think I've throughly stated my views on this subject, but just in case it wasn't obvious: /thread
