Cloud-Kicker 103 April 12, 2012 Share April 12, 2012 My good friend Derpyshy is being stupid. He says he's going to quietly leave MlpForums and become a closet brony. I personally believe that would be nothing but counterproductive and well... stupid! Anypony who agrees with me, why don't you drop him a message telling him to quit whining and stick with the herd. Or simply say something like "Don't leave" if you'd rather not be harsh. But, harshness isn't always so bad. Also, If you want to throw him a friend request and try chatting with him, that could help too. He says he's having a hard time "connecting with the community", but who can blame him? There is a TON of people joining all the time, and trying to be friends with all of them isn't exactly easy... or possible. I know it's his choice if he wants to leave and I respect that, but there's nothing wrong with trying to sway his decision a little. Do you not agree? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Why-Gnome-Ear-Fifty 400 April 12, 2012 Share April 12, 2012 So much for quietly leaving...... We're all bronies here. EVERYONE connects with the community, whether they like it or not! XD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomokoKuroki 1,707 April 12, 2012 Share April 12, 2012 We can try to make him feel better with the community, but we shouldn't force the decision to stay on him. It is ultimately up to him weather he stays or not, and he should chose what he feels is better for him. And even if he does go into a "hiatus" I'll call it, he could always return. But I'll try to help him out too . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fizz. 1,078 April 12, 2012 Share April 12, 2012 So obviously he just wants to watch the show and do nothing more, that's his option and he can stick with it. 2 http://alt="img-3411728-1-kQpW0ME.png"> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Flitter 103 April 12, 2012 Share April 12, 2012 When he showed me this, I almost pissed myself laughing. Cloud Kicker strikes for teh lulz again. As much as I'd love to keep him a public brony (so I'm not totally alone when we leave /inb4guilt-trip), 'tis his choice and I shall value that. x3 < 3 1 I waited all my life for this moment & I'm not going to let it slip by!

Cloud-Kicker 103 April 12, 2012 Author Share April 12, 2012 Why can't we just let him make his own decisions We can, but there's nothing wrong with trying to convince him to stay, is there? Nopony left behind!Besides, this isn't as much of a "make him stay" kind of thing but rather a be friendly and help create a more tightly knit community. I just thought this was the kind of situation that called for it. The reason I did this was to kind of single him out and help him engage in the community a bit more. If he still leaves, that's his choice and his alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as long as you respect their choice of path then that might come across better for if they decide to return. But I do hope that weather he stays or leaves he finds happiness with the path he picks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox 5,330 April 12, 2012 Share April 12, 2012 Like I said in another thread not so long ago...... Why leave a forum with ponies? He'll be missed, but he'll be missing out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

be my waifu 2,842 April 12, 2012 Share April 12, 2012 You should gag him, tie him down in a chair, and then threaten to spill the beans about his innocent little pony interest to everyone he knows and loves if he decides to leave That should do the trick 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice Storm 1,020 April 12, 2012 Share April 12, 2012 hmm, or the more guile and subterfuge way always works. Just pat him on the back with a sign that says "I like My Little Pony" then everyone knows about it, and he's none the wiser until they bring it up to them.

I used to be a stranger 7,993 April 12, 2012 Share April 12, 2012 There is probably a far more logical line of conversation this thread has yet to branch down: My good friend Derpyshy is being stupid.

Daring Do 195 April 12, 2012 Share April 12, 2012 Well, leaving the forums and becoming a closet brony could achieve an effect he or she is trying to cause. Everything has its reasons, but you'll never know unless you are in his or her shoes... Instead of declaring that his or her decision is stupid, you should try to reason out why he or she would want to do such a thing. Even if the reason seems stupid, you have no right to call it that under Love and Tolerance! Be a pal and console him or her! Great adventuring for great treasures!....Except when I'm hurt...

Cloud-Kicker 103 April 12, 2012 Author Share April 12, 2012 This, or it'll make him feel loved enough to stay. No. He said he wants to leave because with the amount of people joining, he feels "invisible". The flood of sudden recognition and attention is a but more than he wanted, but it seems to have done the trick. Well, leaving the forums and becoming a closet brony could achieve an effect he or she is trying to cause. Everything has its reasons, but you'll never know unless you are in his or her shoes... Instead of declaring that his or her decision is stupid, you should try to reason out why he or she would want to do such a thing. Even if the reason seems stupid, you have no right to call it that under Love and Tolerance! Be a pal and console him or her! I am. But you can only do so much when they're simply being whiny. I'm not trying to force him to stay, but I'm trying to keep him from becoming a closet brony more than anything. Obviously there is a time and place to be enthusiastic about ponies, but hiding your love for them altogether just seems wrong. Embrace who you are is all I'm saying... and don't ditch the forums. I'm saying that also. It's not as much of a personal problem than simply being lazy and not wanting to explain himself when he goes out of town.
