/int/ just seems to get slower and slower for every passing day. As I've had a long history with /int/, I remember back when the German threads could fill up a thread in three days; now they've used almost one and a half month. And it doesn't appear to go well with most other threads either. I figured that I should ask the p/int/s about what they think about the situation before doing something hasty on /meta/, so here I am.

To everypony here: What do you think of /int/'s current situation, is it dead or not, are there ways to resurrect it, is it on its way to all-out collapse, or is everything perfectly well? You don't need to answer every question, just those you'd like to.

Yes, /int/ is dead. The Dutch thread died a long time ago when they opened a forum that replaced it. As for the other threads, I'd say that the declining show quality made a lot of people lose interest in pony, and thus they had no more reason to go to Ponychan in general.

Apart from that, everything loses its charm over time. All things considered, /int/ had a very long active life. I doubt there's anything you can do to save it now.

It is my big hope that someday another show will reach the popularity and awesomeness that MLP FiM used to have (preferably without the company in charge screwing everything up).

I wouldn't blame everything on the show's quality problems, but there are indeed far fewer newcomers just peeking in on Ponychan than it used to. I used to be on the Scandinavian threads, which I kept alive for almost a year pretty much by myself, plus a resurrection in March, but now it seems dead and buried.

>All things considered, /int/ had a very long active life. I doubt there's anything you can do to save it now.
I know. I've tried a few things earlier this year in an attempt to save this place, including a "Fun on /int/" random thread (Started well and quickly diminished), and a sticky directory (Had a very tiny effect, but not non-existent). And I'm contemplating either giving up the directory, or sticking to it until the board meets its grave.

I remember thinking during the spring of 2012 that Black Dynamite would be bound to become the new FiM. It ultimately didn't, in part due to Adult Swim being very restrictive on fan videos of it.

Though, I consider FiM Series 3 to be a step up from Series 2, which I consider the worst season by far.

I think it's well enough, no need for hundreds of posts a day. It's convenient. If you need a thread on your language, it's here.

Not to bash, but I think you might be the minority at that. Besides, hadn't you said you skipped several episodes or something?

I'd go with declining fandom quality, too. Also short season and LONGEST. HIATUS. EVER.

It's simple and peaceful, but perhaps a bit too peaceful even for me. Having threads for many countries and languages does have its limitations when most of them are used by very few or none.

And I acknowledge that I'm in a small majority there. I had some bad experiences with Series 2 during its initial run, but I gave it a more real shot when most of it ran in Norway recently. But by then, I had gotten so used to Series 1 (and a few Series 3 episodes), that Series 2 felt like a completely different show to me.
