My god this board is dead. First new episodes and barely any

>>29880122
>barely any new threads
Oh, there were, alright. Are you blind?
>slow as the hiatus
Be glad it's not /b/ speed.
>What happened?
We moved on with life, either grew out or got fed up with the degradation of the show's quality.
>where's spirit?
It's still here. You just gotta dig deeper.

YES

LET IT ALL BURN

>>29880122
Its gone because the people who made the show special are gone. There are almost no veteran staff working on season 7. This premier was extremely weak, and the only silver lining in this shit cloud is Celestia getting some meaningful screentime, and the opening scene for All Bottled Up. Thats it.

>>29880122
>it's yet another Starshit focused episode
It's a sign that it isn't just trolling, this board hates that bitch for real and genuinely wants her gone. Not giving a fuck, except to dismiss, is a sign of genuine hatred

>>29880153
Seven seasons until celly did something relevant and she just comes off as creepy

Dude, we dont give a shit about the show. We just want the characters to write/read smut about. WHERE DO YOU THINK WE ARE?

>>29880245
This.
The show sucks unwashed cock. MLP is for clop.

There have been plenty of threads for the new episode all day, and above all else, maybe you should have committed yourself to watching it as it aired....ever consider that? HMMMM?

Also, this board sucks now, I feel like a lone warrior fighting a war against fandom fans during hiatus...maybe if bitchers like you joined me the board wouldn't be so shit. Fans of the show = passive shits, haters of the show = full of spirit and energy to bring this board down

You have no one to blame but yourself for the state of this board for not fighting for it, you've let haters take over your domain

I want you to look at the catalog and count how many fetish based fanfic generals there are which are kept alive by a guild of writers and their drama. I am not trying to support this, only stating the obvious.

I'm a writefag you fucking faggot. I contribute to this piece of shit board plenty. Don't act like it's not dying, you fucking know it is. It's much slower than it was 2 seasons ago.

>>29880348
What are we to do? Kill them off and then complain that we can't do anything we want? No matter what we do, someone won't be happy. What we really need is a whole site with different boards for greentext, CYOA's, hooves, no hooves, etc. I think some anon tried to do that a while back, does anyone remember what site it was?

>>29880348
I fail to see your point , if you had one to begin with

Generals are the reason this board is shit, pointing me to generals being active is just proving any point I might make

>>29880357
You're part of the problem. This board is dying because there are too many generals and it's not fun for us fans of the show half the time, we exist, we just don't fucking post here because attention whores like you post up in your little circle jerk threads and nobody ever leaves them

This board needs an enema

>>29880375
>>29880415
When you look at this board and what it is about, you will see it is a very, VERY niche board only to contain, compared to everything else 4chan has to offer. It was inevitable that this board will go to shit when the show goes to shit. Between the long gaps between seasons and how short each season is, this board was destined to fail. There is no stopping the decline. Only thing left to do is buckle up and ride this rape train to its grave.

>>29880357
>this board had no show threads
>this board had lots of show threads
>this board had no show threads
Great thread OP. Check the archive next time

This board is a containment board. No matter how slow it goes, it will be here to prevent ponies from escaping to other boards.

>>29880415
>This board needs an enema

Also moderators that actually do their fucking job.

>>29880415
>>29880423
My main point being that this board is so niche that any lack of content from the source will have to be substituted by us, which in turn made this place into fanfic central. The instant that this season is over, the board will die again and go into its vicious cycle dying a little bit more each time.

Maybe just a little too slow for some of my favourite (niche) threads, but in general, yes. We're not "page 10 in five seconds" like /b/, but we're not "threads from 2011 still not at the bump limit" like the obscure porn boards.

Can someone explain to me what the term neo /mlp/ this fine anon used to me. The only difference between the /mlp/ in the past, pre scruffening is that we had porn.

>>29880682
He is calling everybody that doesn't blindly praise everything they make now because it is currently shit, neo /mlp/

>>29880674
Kill yourself, I'm not even joking.

>>29880682
Neo /mlp/ = post-scruffening.
Nu /mlp/ = post-Starlight.

>>29880682
It means "somebody on the board who does not agree with me". The fact that Anon was replying to actual cancer is irrelevant to this.

>>29880700
I always loved the idea of "old fags" and the different tiers, but I would have never thought I would live to see the day that a board specific "old fag" would be created. I also remember that I was there for thread #1 of AIE general and when the flutterrape general split from that. I have been here far too long.

This. I can't count the times I've come on to this fucking board in the last couple years only to see anti-MLP threads on this board with tons of replies, mods do jack shit here, and it makes me turn around and fuck right off this board and not look back for a few days, when this used to be a place I posted on every day pretty much all day

>>29880477
>>29880494
Nah. This show has way more to talk about than Ed Edd and Eddy, or Arthur, yet those threads have constant discussion on /co/ , the show being on hiatus isn't the issue, it's the pigs being allowed to be pigs and just lazily hang out at their troughs, stagnating the board
OP, if you're pissed about this, the only way you can make a difference is to not be a passive piece of shit, and actually make a difference, complain...bitch...fight...no changes are ever made by just sitting around and even in the end if people like you and me lose the fight at least we tried to make a damn change for the better, don't accept defeat

The most recent strawpoll of when /mlp/ got on the ride went like this:
S2~=S1>S3~=S4>S5>>>>>S6
So I group S5 as being more old than new.

Anyone who doesn't love Twilicorn, crystal castle replacing treebrary, Flurry Heart, Glimmy, and Equestria Girls are the cancer killing this board. These were all positive things that no one has any good reason to be mad about

MLP is as great as ever. The movie is going to be fantastic

>I have no argument so it's just bait

>>29880972
Every one of those things advanced the show and characters in natural and satisfying directions. Take off the tinfoil hat, Hasbro did not conspire to bring the show down. On the contrary, it's grown into something way better than what it was during S1.

>>29881024
The staff are doing a great job, and using "Jim" as an insult is absolutely pathetic. I have yet to see a single reason why the show is "worse" now when it has taken steps in inarguably good direction, with Glimmer in particular

>>29881064
dismissing how there is solid proof that actual executives are writing the episodes and they are obviously stupid, because this is like putting a fucking dairy cow to produce chocolate milk, it simply doesn't fucking work.
Stop damage controlling with your dismissal for the actual reason the show sucks, suits "fixing" and censoring the episodes written by the staff because they are fucking retarded.

It's just not what it was, I miss the old show, when the main characters actually had real problems and a reason to exist. Now they are just second class citizens, background characters in their own show.

I feel so old, everything that we loved is going away and being replaced by sub-par fillers.
It's happening again, it never stops.

The problem is that we're tearing ourselves apart. Nobody enters a discussion ever considering the possibility that their opinions might be changed, and everybody thinks that they're right. And when they encounter someone who is wrong, they turn into condescending little turds. This entire topic is posters going
>"you're stupid."
>"no YOU'RE stupid."
We don't come here to discuss our differences, we come here to loudly shout how right we are and how everyone else is objectively a horrible person.

>>29881064
>with Glimmer in particular

Now I definetly know that you're baiting.

>>29881188
Which sucks cause I've gotten some interesting perspective from asking Anons for reasons why they hate or like certain things in the show. An example being my favorite episode Lesson Zero.
I'm on /mlp/ to get a good variety of opinion, but no one being willing to budge or explain where their opinion is coming from makes getting that difficult.

We were faster than /co/ during the premier.
About 5 threads went over bump limit during that time.

>>29881257
There goes the Hasbro-Conspiratard monitor again

Tell us more about Hasbro is responsible for everything going wrong and how they're literally worse than satan for making good creative directions for the show

Glimmer is an interesting character and it would be better if the show focused more on her. Twilight has pretty much run her course

>>29880122
Are you fucking blind there's a shit load of threads about the new episode on the front page no less.

Fuck you, subhuman piece of shit.

>>29881300

You won't convince me otherwise.

>>29881300
Well maybe we want more Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie and Applejack goddamnit! Maybe an episode where they
A) DON'T get betrayed/brainwashed/kidnapped/memory-wiped
B) spend time with the new character to make her feel more integral with the show or
C) finish their motherfucking story arcs, or give them ones to begin with

There will be a day when you will never see their faces again, this show will end on a whimper as it is cancelled quietly in an executive meeting and the reruns will slowly get shifted off the air until no one even remembers a show called Friendship is Magic.

The last character you see, the last voice you hear will be none of those from all those years ago.

And you will still say it was a good direction to go.

Do you even remember why you came here in the first place?

>>29881259
Just cause I stand by my opinion doesn't mean I can't try and understand opposing ones. I'll love my favorite episodes and ponies no matter what, but I like understanding where opposing opinions are coming from if I don't get it at first.

>>29881317
Except it's not being run into the ground. The show is leagues better than what it used to be. S1 and 2 are nothing compared to how good it is now, they're just boring, distant memories of an awkward start.

>>29881355
Really? because some friend I know says it is just as shitty as it always was.
It is just people here that claim it got better or worse. He is just not a super hardcore faggot like most fagots here.

>>29881346

They're old news and need to be swept away with the old guard. Time for new characters to take the spotlight.

For happiness. Now all I feel is anger for the past, disgust for the present and fear for the future.

>>29881374
Whoa, "some friend," you say?

...You might be on to something, then...

>>29880122
The premiere episodes were kind of boring, there's really nothing new to discuss except:

>Emotion powered magic
>Sunhorse character building
>Starlight "Bug swatter" Glimmer
>Changelings having not really changed and now needing to be taught how friend
>What the dragons are up to now

Some of those were discussed during and immediately after the episode, at this late point in the show, many of the themes present in every episode have been thoroughly explored by fans, so don't expect 2011 tier discussion.

>>29881240
And what do you think all of THIS is? People go to opinion threads, screech how right they are and how wrong everyone else is, and then they go back to their generals and niche threads where they get a pat on the back and a bunch of posters to call the people who disagreed with them 'autists' and '[x]posters'.

>>29881485
Because only faggots accept they are wrong when you discuss subjective bullshit. Don't be fucking retarded. What you want is people to admit the other has superior subjective taste and that's fucking stupid as hell.
If one faggot says that slate blue is the best color then you have all the right to tell him to kill himself because that's subjective.
