How long do you plan on staying active here?

[Venomous 18,813]

Every now and again, a user that has been a regular user here for a long time departs from this site permanently. Each user has their own reasons for leaving and I can understand that. Even though this website has changed over the years, I don’t plan on leaving anytime soon. This website is like another home to me. No matter how drastically it alters, I won’t go.

Of course, one day, I will. I don’t see myself as an 85 year old woman visiting this site 

Do you plan on staying for the long haul like me, not sure, or are you leaving soon?

[Lord Valtasar 12,685]

the fandom was always about the people for me, the ponies are just something we have in comon to talk about, so as long as there are people i'll be here

[Pentium100 2,056]

I have no plan, I guess some time in the future I'll get bored and only visit this site occasionally. 

[CheeryFox 23,811]

Yeah...guess so...been here long enough to reach old member status.

[Jesse Terrence 2,963]

Who knows. Been on the fandom ride for almost a decade. But then again, I stopped visiting derpy chat and dropped ponysquare too, though in the first case was the chat becoming deserted by my friends and on the second example it had to do with my ex being her usual "playful" self, which was turned into me being the ass for calling her out of her hooking up with several users. Man, I feel like a total dumbass about letting things like those pass by.

Annyway, back on topic. I highly doubt so (leaving, that's what I mean). This place is ok and I've made some friends I wouldn't dare leave. I think I'll remain until all my friends are gone.

I honestly have no idea. Not going to be leaving too soon, probably. Thought I would move on from here at some point, but not sure.

 

There's some people on this forum that are annoying, divisive, and overall horrible but not letting that stop me.

Well I will be checking in for the Animal Crossing comments

[ShadOBabe 18,984]

I duck out for breaks now and again, but as long as there’s fun people to chat with, I’ll always come back. 

[Frostgage 7,972]

The honest answer is: I don't know. It feels weird being one of the longest-tenured members still here, because it doesn't feel that long ago when I was still relatively new. Of course, while I still log in every day, my actual posting activity has declined by over 95% from what it once was, partially due to the fact that the number of active users here has declined sharply from when the show was at peak popularity. I think I would be most curious to see if the website makes a resurgence if a full G5 is produced.

I'll probably stay until ALL of my friends leave or posting here becomes something I do out of habit rather than out of enjoyment.

In this example, sometimes I'm Spike, sometimes I'm Twilight, but generally for this the forums, I go about them like Starlight does in Season 6 Episode 8, "A Hearths Warming Tail". I don't use the the site to actually socialize that much. I enjoy the company and recognizing regulars. I enjoy being a part of the community with limited engagement. Mlp forums for me is the workplace watercooler, rather than the after work pub I meet all of my buddies at like it is for some.

What I really get provided here is an input of ideas, and a means to output my own. This exchange has given me focus on things I tie into my other interests and results in painfully slow projects that I've worked on mentally for years and am too far in to stop.

We may not have the growth we used to, and we're not brought up in mass media all that often these days, but it's not because we're in decline. It's because we're a strong Fandom that has established itself into everyday life. We are here to stay, and I along with it.

[Ganondorf8 11,118]

So long as I am needed here, I shall remain.

[Midnight Danny 9,023]

I don't really know, but l will not gonna leave this forum soon. It's like my second home here and l don't wanna lose my best friends. They are so special to me. 

[cuteycindyhoney 13,283]

I'm leaving in four years, five months, one week, two days, and sixteen hours. Give or take six years.

[dead account 2,703]

I'm not really a forums person, because I don't enjoy talking much, it gets repetitive too quick. Reading similar or the same stuff over and over is tiresome... This or all of my acquaintances leaving at some point was my reason to quit as well in the past. But I regret doing this and I'm not gonna do this anymore. Even though I'm not a huge talker most of the time...I'm always here if someone needs help. I love to help if I can. I'm here for the very few friends I have. And I will always love MLP, it's my biggest joy in life, no matter what will happen in the future.

[Tom Gallagher 33,521]

As long as I love MLP:FIM, I will be here forever. I don't want to leave anytime soon, certainly not from a place where I've made so many amazing friends! It's only just begun for me... 

[Ocean Aura 17,659]

For me I've been on this site since May 19th 2015 and I'll stay here on the site and I might take a break here and there and I still like MLP FIM.

[Pandora 38,004]

As long as I can  

cant tell when I’m not interested in mlp anymore 

[Splashee 28,537]

I think it is fandom related. If there is something new exciting that is far superior to MLP, but also has the community and friendship, I would rather go there than stay.

I have seen people moving from MLP to FNAF to Undertale to whatever is nowadays (Fortnite? Really I don't know what to be excited for today), but it has been she short term fans that don't seem to concentrate on friendship, or knowing what they are or want to be.

 

But when it comes to me, I joined this forum with a goal, to be Splashee, the best I can be. It has been a crazy ride, but it ain't over yet!

[AppleButt 8,669]

I’ll be here for the long haul.  I mean there might be a year where I’m not active at all but I’ll always be back

[DixonTheAdversary 1,631]

Either until the site shuts down or when I decide that I no longer enjoy coming on this site. But for right now, there is no end in sight.

[Jedishy 3,542]

I'll be a party pony here when I'm 95

[Rainbow Cloud 16,290]

Think I'll be here a while longer, I usually stick around on forums for a long time.

[ExplosionMare 18,007]

I don’t know. I don’t plan on leaving anytime soon but if my life in the future gets busier and busier then I might have to leave. That’s a long ways off, though.

[Awkward Segway 301]

I come and go as I please. I don't know if I'll ever leave permanently.
