Is this advanced autism?

this board's expiration date is long past due, it'd be beneficial for everyone if we were reabsorbed back into /co/

>>30820714
I'm pretty sure most of us would be fine with going back to /co/ or even being sent to /trash/. But it will never happen because certain mega sperg burglars like Barneyfag would turn the entire site into a molten crater if it ever happened because they still act like /b/ is spamming pone 24/7.

Just relish in the memories, be content with the little gems there are, or go full autistic and set your mind to remain in 2014 like nothings changed. I joined this ride in fucking 2016 and all i can do is rummage through the content of times past, atleast you have good memories, i have to make my own.

baning greentext bait threads was a mistake

I'm still fucking mad, because there was a thread with the premise of Dash asking anon to help her write a short story with the story being about characters that curiously resemble anon and dash falling in love with each other, but anon is being completely stupid and oblivious to this no matter how obvious Dash's advances, so she tries to get more and more extreme as the story goes on but anon just doesn't get it
then the scruffening happened and I never found out what came of it, fuck my existence

I've noticed as well. I really didn't think we could get any worse beyond being little slower but the board has become as caustic as it is predictable. We're just /v/ with ponies now.

>>30820714
I don't want to be forced to interact with the people outside general threads, they're fucking cancer.

*pretends to scratch chin but then dabs*

This is probably a Dazzlefag that is super butthurt.

>>30820798
It's been slower than this.
The end of 2016 was particularly brutal.
The slowest month for /mlp/ on record was November 2016, which had a mere 192324 posts.
Disregarding the week of /mlpol/, the slowest week for /mlp/ on record is the week of December 18, 2016, which had a mere 41121 posts.

Fortunately, after these, I haven't seen anything lower since then, so I believe the board population has finally stabilized and we're just left with the people who are in it for the long haul.

>>30821086
Is it really that bad? I have a very limited frame of reference here, but when I migrated over from /pol/ it was like a breath of fresh air in comparison. Really outlines the true state of this site.

It's kinda funny to read all you faggots say the exact same shit, but why?
What's the reason? What do we have to gain, or them?
It will only trigger people and we'll lose privileges, so fuck off

I mean, I'm quite certain that you're just shitposting, and you don't care about my response, but I'll still write that shit whenever you faggots spam your bullshit so the new blood don't fall for your retarded memes

>>30820755
>i doubt /co/ will take back in pony.
There are stealth threads/posts there all the time. Literally the only one responding to them negatively is Barneyfag with his obvious MO.

>>30821122
They do get deleted eventually, though. Even if Lee doesn't show up. GR15 is here to stay, and unfortunately it's critical to this site's integrity.

>>30820714
Hmm yeah. Discussion of the show itself should return to /co/ and /trash/ should be given extra pages to cope with the assorted generals. Unless hype builds up with the movie or season finale or something.

New blood should always be vetted with caution. Too many time with too many boards have we watched where a rapid influx of site newfags, not board newfags mind you who are more easily assimilated, utterly decimated the board by sheer force of overwhelming numbers.

So I say expect new blood, but be cautious to who you are welcoming in.

We never had any, and if we did i'm sure the reddit invasion from the election killed it.

Newfags would be find usually if they weren't redditors or youtubers fishing for memes. It'll never be the same again, lurking before posting is dead.

>>30821215
Well, fortunately /mlp/ hasn't been hit nearly as hard as /pol/ /v/, and /tv/.

As a board outsider, I can say with certain perspective that /mlp/ is unironically one of the last bastions of older style 4chan culture. /mlp/ still has a chance to repel the normie invasion and redditor scum, it just has to be dealt with with tact.

And there's also the fact that normies vehemently hate poners anyways, so that's a solid line of defense as well.

>>30821270
>/mlp/ is unironically one of the last bastions of older style 4chan culture.
You are unironically retarded.

>>30821289
wouldn't the last bastion be /trash/?

>>30821114
There's always at least one good thread worth browsing/replying to I like to think but every thread from show discussion to write prompts to funpost threads has its usual suspects of detractors.

>>30821289
Just the general feeling of this board is a striking contrast to the other major boards. There most certainly is a difference. Sure, it's still probably shit in the eyes of many including you, but there's no doubt that it's different. Like I said, coming here felt like a fresh breath of air and reminisced me of when I first found 4chan.

>>30821299
>diaperfur, hunger games and shit no other board wants
yeah, that's close to what old 4chan was.

Ponies aside, what do you think this board has going for it compared to other boards?

May be a blessing and a curse, but the way moderation works with it being so lax about what can be here is nice sometimes. 4cc for example.

>>30821971

Greens stopped being good perhaps one week after they started, before they devolved into the same flavor of cheap romcoms or 'feelsy' penny dreadfuls, regurgitated over and over and over by and for all the anons bunkered in their private, practically hermetic generals, and which swelled and spread like a cluster of malignant tumors until they finally overtook the whole board.

>If you think all of them were Anon fucking waifus then you're probably new
Right, because if it was about Anon getting to fuck the pony, these pitiable excuse for smutfics wouldn't have lasted as long as they did. Instead, they are these drawn-out, repetitive clichéd romantic dribble full of HILARIOUS hijinks as the ponies' characterizations devolves and is reduced to lusting after Anon's cock. More poppycock that makes harem anime look like timeless classics of literature.

And yet, despite their superficial and horrid tastes, /mlp/ has the gall to call the show bad.

>>30822174
You sound like Kaiba rn

>>30822174
This.

>>30820693
the board isn't shit though

>>30822174
I think one of the real problems is that even when writefags try to do something else, anons can't keep themselves under control over muh dik, and start trying to force it to be more horse smut as per the norm. Along-side the major problem that is that one content maker can only do so much, yet 95% of anons just want to be spoonfed content and not contriboot at all unless it's for a meme pic or reaction. Leading to any new or original shit dying off when OP eventually either is ded, fucks off for the next shiny rock or the thread dies or gets sage'd by shitposters or rulefags.

This whole obsession with starting the next big meme is the end result of meme culture. Meme culture killed this board, this site, and genuinely funny memes in general. It's no longer about genuine spontaneous content, it's a contest to see who can be the most outrageous poster and the bragging rights that come with it.

Flee from this place, OP, there's nothing left here but disappointment and sorrow.

Have you read anything from sea urchin, beans, faggot13, peteQ, woodlore or thingfag?
Thinking all green is smut just shows tha you either:
A) Don't have any idea of what are you talking about
B) You visit the same generals over and over then think that is the only greentext in the board
C) All of the above

And even then smut can be written in a good way, to the point that the drama, comedy or other elements form the main focus of the story, for example half of jeffmango greentexts.

If anything I will take all those greentext bait threads over the "great show discussion" we have now, especialy because it almost always boils down to a pissing match between autists about how earth ponies are the inferior race or who of the humane7 is the biggest slut.
