Less MLP threads would be an amazing start. Or maybe one big forum dedicated just to Poni so that the people who watch the show but don't talk about it 24/7 and the people who don't like the show don't have to put up with pony threads 24/7 on every single damn forum of the intrawebs.
Even in Extra Credits threads after 1 picture of a pony was shown for 2 seconds in the show it's like "HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT PONIEEEEES! PONY THREAD? PONY THREAD! OLOLOL".
There are 25 threads on the first page of this forum, there are 5 sticky threads, I rarely see more then 1 pony thread at a time, tonights a rare occasion where there are two. so lets just say 1.5/20. We We take up 7.5 percent of thread space. I have yet to see ponies talked about on other threads that don't call for it, and you can't complain if we talk about MLP in Favorite TV shows, Meme based threads, and of course pony threads. So that just leaves the Avatars.
Right now you are actively raging at something that takes up 7.5 percent of the threads on the off topic escapist forum, and a 1x1 square inch that are used as avatars on occasion.
But there comes a point where this needless spamming of the same thread over and over again becomes obsolete as every single aspect about a show that has less than 10 hours of playtime should have been discussed by now, as pony threads have been around the internet since 2010. I like House M.D., do you see me making constant threads about it? I like the Pirates of the Caribbean, do you see me making constant threads about it? I like MLP, do you see me constantly talking about it on every single occasion possible?
It's always the same damn thing, something happens on 4chan and it gets whored to death on there, then the rest of the internet picks it up and spams it into oblivion until everyone that doesn't participate in the spam, hates it with a fury unlike the fires of hell. It's just a damn shame that it has to happen to MLP too, as a lot of people seem to think of it as some kind of a annoying meme.
And it's not just the Escapist, it's all of the internet. When a subject gets this popular and takes up a large portion of the total amount of threads, it's time to make a separate forum and discuss it on there.
EDIT: In fact, it doesn't even have to be that extreme. I'd be swell if the Escapist could make a separate board to discuss TV shows and banish MLP to said board.
