Regarding the image itself:
- This is not an airport, there is no need to announce your departure
- The longer the #goodbye7ever message, the sooner the inevitable return. Those who will never come back are the ones who quietly drifted away years ago. Angry goodbye messages mean the author still cares.

Just because there are other shows that are better than FiM does not mean that the fandoms attached to those shows are remotely worthwhile. The Wire and Bojack Horseman [in case the protagonist being a horse is a hard requirement] are both miles above FiM in terms of writing quality, yet neither has a dedicated fandom. There are plenty of fans, but no fandoms.

FiM seems to have found a fandom sweet spot in size: it’s a step down from Pokémon and Star Wars, which are both so large as to be amalgamations of separate fandoms, yet still large enough to have MLP-only conventions and not be yet another show in the rotating Fandom®™ roster.
