The show may be over some day, but that doesn't mean that the community will vanish. Just enjoy your ponys, don't think about this sugarcube.

Most of my favorite shows will never see more episodes, and eventually, even the best things have to come to an end (except Doctor Who, that can go on forever). I wouldn't worry. As long as there are pony fans with passion, the series will live on in the form of fanart, fanfiction and others. In fact, the fandom may, as evidenced by some fandoms in the wake of the cancellation of their favorite shows, grow stronger in its creativity. Take a look at the fans of the Sonic the Hedgehog "SATAM" cartoon. The Archie Sonic comic is now staffed mostly by old school Sonic fans and has become the spiritual successor to a cartoon that'll be 20 years old in a few years. A few of us may move on, but others will stay for as long as they're comfortable. They may, then, pass the baton onto new fans who are just discovering the show for the first time. Great works have lasting fandoms, and if you're worried about what will happen to it, get involved. Cheesy speech done.

But remember to cheris the good times /b/ronie, for in the time we are still here let's make it helluva awesome and unforgettable.

And honestly, It needs to end because most of us men can't be loving ponies forever. Take it as it comes, and be thankful when it's done.

Ponies will end (though I don't think that'll happen soon. I feel fairly certain there will be at least a second season), ponychan will end, you will die, everypony you know will die, the humanity will end itself, Equestria's magnetic field will dissipate, Sol will go supernova, our galaxy, and then the universe, will reach entropy... Just keep chuggin' anyway, I say.

Even if it does come to an end, cross your hooves they'll make a full length picture out of it. Besides, I'm sure some ponies recall the old cartoons of the 80's, they had much more than 2 seasons. Hopefully the signed Lauren for a few years.

But this universe will be different. The laws of nature slightly bent so that things work best with a gentle nudge, rather than on their own. Equestria itself may pop back into existence one day, but don't look for Mankind to be the dominant species anymore...

>> | Future!FlierHFjIs 11/02/27(Sun)19:21 No. 17104 >>17044 it only ends when we let it.

>> | relias !vN95D68baY 11/02/27(Sun)19:48 No. 17165 first of all, this is nothing to worry about for at the very, very least a year and a few months from now, as there's a second full season already ordered secondly, for how passionate the community based around this show is, i don't think it's ever going to be "forgotten". there'll be people willing to talk about ponies, enough so that multiple communities will be justified, for a very, very long time.

>> | Future!FlierHFjIs 11/02/27(Sun)19:56 No. 17184 File 12988653672.jpg - (311.77KB , 900x500 , 1298505467206.jpg ) >>17165 >as there's a second full season already ordered I CAME also, bronyism is a revolutionary internet society. Never seen anything like it myself, it could very well go down in the history books (when they start writing history books about internet culture, which i am sure they will some day).

>> | Kixu 11/02/27(Sun)20:20 No. 17227 >>17118 To keep anypony from taking this shit too seriously. =3

>> | RainBoom96!xeBygvPyQM 11/02/27(Sun)20:25 No. 17245 >>17205 Agreed. I am sure there are boards out there for all kind of stuff that used to be and ended and they never forget about it. This will just be on of those events where in the end. The spirit of friendship lives on.

>> | Thorn!6trJvEMBDA 11/02/28(Mon)00:26 No. 17539 I'd also like to put this out there: the show is done in flash animation, and there are already people making ponies in vector images. Get some voice actors, and people could do their own episodes and put them up.

>> | The Great and Powerful!tRixieb9pk 11/02/28(Mon)00:31 No. 17542 File 129888188395.jpg - (22.05KB , 394x349 , face25.jpg ) I've thought about this a few times, OP. The best thing I can say is this isn't something you will have to worry about for quite a long time. The first season may be nearing its end, but there will be more seasons guaranteed. Even when it's over, there will still be a fanbase. There may be some who leave because the "fad" is over, but many of us will be sticking around.

>> | Anonymous 11/02/28(Mon)03:45 No. 17619 File 129889350199.png - (155.46KB , 700x700 , 129779191398.png ) what's important is what their adventures taught us. we must understand the true meaning of friendship and use it in our lives (which a lot of us are doing right now). by the time the ponies are gone, im sure we will all have much better lives and better friends. we just have to be ready to say goodbye when it all ends. and... we can always pester lauren faust for more ponies.

>> | Sprinkles!Goldz8yV1E 11/02/28(Mon)04:16 No. 17629 I don't know about everypony else, but I'm not leaving. Ponychan may die, but I'll roam from site to site, looking for MLP lovers.

>> | Anonymous 11/02/28(Mon)04:29 No. 17634 i think its way too early to consider such things. first season isnt over yet and ther will be at least a season two. so just dont think about that and enjoy your time with your friends as long as you can.

>> | RegenboogDash 11/02/28(Mon)04:40 No. 17635 You're worrying too much. I know shows like Sonic SatAM that still have a dedicated fanbase after fifteen years of being cancelled. Sure, the episodes will stop one day, but we'll always be able to enjoy the show.

>> | Guyandsam 11/02/28(Mon)05:49 No. 17641 I thought of the same thing man and felt the same way to. Just don’t think of it and have a kick flank time why you can with every one.

>> | Clarity!EGL9GiOd9k 11/02/28(Mon)09:52 No. 17770 File 129891553368.jpg - (9.24KB , 171x232 , 1297506837986.jpg ) Don't worry about something like that, it spoils the fun and good times you can have with the show and your fellow bronies now. Think less of the future and embrace what you have now. *hugs*

>> | Anonymous 11/02/28(Mon)10:00 No. 17774 I've seen a few fanbases still going strong years after whatever they enjoyed is gone for good, I'm sure a good chunk of us will still be here years after FiM is over.

>> | Anonymous 11/02/28(Mon)10:06 No. 17778 File 129891638429.jpg - (20.08KB , 449x339 , 12987776852.jpg ) >>17044 look at it this way, we have 17 out of 26 episodes, leaving 9 left which means we have 9 weeks guaranteed, followed by the fact this show is like one of the most popular shows (on the internet at least) that the chances of a second season are almost guaranteed.

>> | Anonymous 11/02/28(Mon)10:17 No. 17785 File 129891703286.jpg - (126.50KB , 800x594 , f_4504_l9.jpg ) >>17774 Exactly. I mean, if a successful band splits up, does that mean that suddenly all their fan communities disappear and no-one talks about them anymore? Of course not. If a fan completely abandons what they enjoy the very moment it's over, then were they really a fan in the first place? Plus, fanbases create multitudes of content themselves, whether it be fanfiction, art, etc etc...things like that always keep such communities alive.
