Not only that, but there were members like Balto, kitsy, BG and Lancer, many of who have not been seen online since 2009 or 2010.

You're probably right, I guess I can't really blame them for that either.
At least four members have posted here in the last 24 hours, which is the most the forum's had in quite some time. I think this second revival might be slowly working.

G3 does definitely have some shining qualities on both the toy and cartoon sides, admittedly (although honestly all MLP generations have their various pros and cons).

I've definitely seen those fanfics, but have yet to fully read all of them.

I don't think that spikes in activity happen too quickly - most of the activity round here has been my posting as a result of realizing that I needed to revive this fandom once again - just like how Notes did last year.

However, I do think that we have yet to see some users return, although Bobdude was apparently last online 17 September, which is pretty recently.

Actually, I had already re-registered before you made your post, but I decided that since I was a returning user under a different account rather than a new user, I decided to make my returning post on your thread, and that kinda set me off from there (you may notice the posts I have made around here recently). Although I think that Starswirl was already lurking around here prior to this thread's creation, you do make a valid point, considering that Sweetheart has come back as well.

By the way, Starswirl, how active was this forum in its original heyday from 2008-2011? Having initially joined up in 2013, back during the days before Notes when the fandom was essentially gone, i never experienced those times.

It's a real shame that the Tales Mania forum is now even more deserted than this forum is (last post was made in May!). I hope that both the forums can be revived soon enough.

Welcome back, Sweetheart! You may have heard of me in the past as acehoneycomb, I am just using a different account at the moment. Hopefully, you can help to revive this once-again-dying fandom!

Six months on, I was in the process of writing a second part (it was going to be five parts in length) but then I got wrapped up in some other things before I was able to complete it.

You mean those Pudgyville ones discussed last year? Or have you created some new ones since then?

Apparently, he was last online 1 March 2015. Note also how Bobdude, Kat, Teddy, Lancewing and NotRamjet disappeared soon afterwards. I wonder if Brightglow is still lurking around here somewhere.

Ironic indeed. Does anyone know where Notes actually went? He seemed to be the lifeblood of the forum before disappearing earlier this year.

Well, here is some Lancer information from the comics:
209: Has a crush on Bright Eyes, but it too shy to ask her out. Bright Eyes is somewhat coy towards him (although she also has a crush on him). 210: Breakdances with Ace at a hospital concert. 218: Can't help but laugh (along with Ace) when Bright Eyes falls off a pedalo. 220: Finally gets to take Bright Eyes out on a date to see Dazzle's show Prance Time (it doesn't go quite as expected, though). Is fond of nature programs, and uses his knowledge of nature to save Dazzle's show Prance Time (when there is a blackout, he uses the glow worms from the nature program to light up the set). 41: Dresses up as a buccaneer (?) for a costume party. Goes camping with the girls and Teddy. Shares Bright Eyes' concern for the wellbeing of the environment. 44: Has a nanny. It is implied that he lives in a mansion. Is fond of birdwatching. (He takes Bright Eyes on a birdwatching trip, but they see a kingfisher and he becomes distracted. After Bright Eyes leaves to report the kingfisher to the newspaper, Lancer realizes that he forgot to confess his feelings to her). 45: Has an expensive new camera (another implication of his status) and uses the recordings he made on the camera to find Patch's lost bangle.
