How long have you been in the fandom?

[Frith is Magick 1,471]

I first watched the show and began calling myself a brony in July 2013, though I was not really a member of the fandom until I joined this site (10/07/13). My brony friend introduced me to the show (and Cupcakes HD) a year or so before that. I was chill with bronies (despite finding the idea of bronyism odd), and enjoyed some fan-made media long before I ever watched the show.

I don't know, since I never watched the shows air on TV xD I watched them on Netflix. I think it was during the second or third season? Maybe? I started watching it I think a year ago, or two? I'm so bad with time, peoples.

I joined the fandom half season 3 transmited in the US, which is was at first week of December 2012. I felt a guilty pleasure watching it at first, but later, I feel so grateful for putting ponies in my way

In 6 days I'll have been a brony for 2 years. That went rather quickly.

[NotInUse 64]

2 or 3 months (I joined somewhere between the 1st to the 10th of January)

I've been in it since November/ December 2010...I'm an OG brony. 

 

Fluttershy has been my waifu for all of those 3 years and counting, I love her so much.  

 

My first piece of merch was a Fluttershy button for my hat and a Fluttershy brushable.

Early to mid 2011.

I'm not 100% on the exact date, either April or May.

[Jorguil 54]

From the beginning of season 2 and going.

[Saphipony 22]

I started liking MLP around April 2012.

[Jackleberry 1,921]

Since June 3rd of 2013. So almost a year now.

[Fluttershy27 54]

2-3 years. hehe.  I didn't get into it until after season two had already started.

[Rainboom Dash 1,056]

I've been a brony since about October 2012. Before then I'd seen a lot of pony stuff on the net but didn't give it much thought.

[Discordian 6,015]

Since the summer before season 2 started. I came to MLPForums the day it was created which was right around when season 2's first episodes aired.

 

Good times...good times. Glad I snatched up the name Discordian as fast as I did. Too bad I couldn't find a picture of him with an accordion at the time but I've become accustomed to my current avatar.

 

Although apparently the word "discordian" is an actual word meaning something else. LOL

Since return of harmony ^^ if i ever go to a brony convention and meet john i've got a BIG "thank you" in store for him

[Colorful Respawn 399]

Late 2013 I started watching the show towards the end of season 3. I did get to see 3 finale and wait for season 4. Now I'm gonna wait for season 5 can't wait! Especially for Rainbow Rocks to come out in theaters

[BayoUni2847 528]

I've been a brony for three years. I remember waiting anxiously for Season two, it felt like an eternity had passed I was so excited for it.

 

We're already getting towards the end of Season four and will be waiting for season five and Rainbow Rocks. Time sure flies!

[ztrash 62]

Kinda late, but january 2013. I got hooked on to the show very easily.

[BastementSparkle 20,326]

While I only joined this forum recently, I've been a fan since half-way through season 1. I lurked on this forum for a year or two before joining.

[~Silver Essence~ 2,625]

September 2011

 

Yeah, that old.

 

But I still enjoy the ponies, show, and sometimes fandom to this day. 

[Tigerpop198 696]

Well for me, it was around mid 2012, sometime around April, or May.

[RainbowPastel 185]

I officially joined Feb 18, 2012

[Paleopony 701]

I've been a fan for three and a half years.

[eventyraren 180]

I started watching half way through season 6.

[JMTV99 1,352]

I watched the show in 2013 and I stopped it in 2016, so I'll say it's four years.

[Equus 91]

Early morning hours of May 26th 2011, a couple weeks after S1 ended. That was the brief era when the episodes could be found on YouTube. Skeptically watched the first episode as per multiple friends begging me to, and didn't like it, but loved the second half of the pilot two parter and watched up to episode four that night. Finished marathoning it that weekend watching the rest of the first season then. Was pretty much hooked after the first four episodes and started contributing and fandom-participating later that same day.

Soooo... nearly ten and a half years now. Wow.
