Ever feel like you've been here too long?

[ZiggWheelsManning 10,322]

No indication of an overstood welcome.  It's not close to 10 years.  

[Winter Storm 242]

Here? Nah. In fact I wish I had discovered this place sooner, though I still have a very hard time trying to kind of socialize with others here.

Sometimes I feel like "I've been here too long" when looking at the bigger picture of life in its entirely but one can't let those thoughts consume you.

I just got here teehee 

[Sunset Rose 254]

Sometimes it feels more appropriate step away from something lovely before the memory of it has a chance to get ruined. 'Cause when people are involved, it's only a question of when, not if.

[SharpWit 2,655]

As long as there's content to enjoy, I'll keep coming back for more.

I never finished the series, haven't really watched an episode in 5 years? am at the point where I'm starting to forget things and hardly participate in pony discussions, but I still haven't left the community, and have no plans to. I'm not even that engaged, just a brooding guy in the corner collecting dust for a decade, but here I am. 

[Fluttershutter 2,457]

NOPE

and characters and stuff

[StarHeart333 1,764]

Still alive and breathing so I guess not.

Now see when they start the fundraiser for the professional ninja assassins to come after you THAT'S when you've stayed too long.

I believe I am currently at "He's annoying but 'just' tolerable enough to be left alive" status.

I hope to eventually move up to the level of " annoying but boyishly funny." status.

 

 

[Savy 5,077]

Nah not really, only been here since like 2018.

[Retro*Derpy 3,185]

Still here over 10 years. Sad to see some good memebers go but time never stops 🕑

[EpicEnergy 23,218]

Not the fandom or MLP, but definitely life. Yep, I've been alive too long.

[ZiggWheelsManning 10,322]

10 years still not set in stone, let the happiness continue with quality food in the fridge  

[DubWolf 17,263]

No not really.

Too many people not here long enough.

[Fluttershutter 2,457]

Nope. I like it here. I'm too old to stop liking things because I'm too old.

[Ganondorf8 11,312]

If anything, I'm not on these forums more often especially given my staff position.

Equestria Daily on the other hand... I've been there for over a decade. Even now, I wonder where all the years went.

[Snow 7,036]

Not too long, never that for either  though I do feel like I've been a part of the forums for a while  I don't feel any pressure to stay or leave, as for the fandom, I feel like I can grow old gracefully enjoying ponies, I still have a ways to go when it comes to making fanart, cant let some silly excuse like "too old" to get in the way 

[Longhaul 6,868]

I'm kind of torn on the subject.  part of me is okay with being in the forum and fandom as long as I have, and another part of me feels I may have worn out my welcome.  Not that I plan on going anywhere, at least not in the near future, it's just how I'm feeling at the moment.

Naw. My skin may be turning into bark and I may be growing roots into the floor, but as long as somepony keeps me watered and pruned I'll stick around.

Me too...especially if I start to sprout apples! 

[Sparklefan1234 170,817]

I honestly feel like MLP Forums is my “forum home”. 😊

I feel the same way, Spark. 

[GodlyWolf Gusty 2,147]

I enjoy it and it is kind of my home away from home. You guys are like family and i really don't see myself ever getting tired of of talking to you guys whenever you want to talk.

[PeppermintNSwirl 16]

It feels like my home too. But sometimes, yes. It feels very melancholic getting older and still doing the same things you love while other people have moved on and the space you interact with seems to get smaller and smaller... I guess it makes you get more creative as well. A lot of times, I feel like I've been here too long, but there's almost nowhere else to go, at least for me. I like this fandom, always have and probably always will, maybe we'll see the fandom expand again one day! But until then we still get lots of lovely new content now and then.
