Well, I had this in mind for a long time... and here's what I came up with.
HTF fandom is under big trouble of collapsing or dying. It's usually due to some HTF fans having great misunderstanding about HTF. I know some of the issues, but some remains hidden and needs to be unlocked and solved in order to balance the HTF fandom, rather than just give up and leave it.
So, for this thread, feel free to express your thoughts about the issues happening in this fandom, or simply ask me if you found some issues are quite perplexing to you. (but i can't fully guarantee to answer, it depends on my "fandom" knowledge). Issues can come from the fans, art, fanfics, or anything else. So feel free to talk about it or ask me if you feel like it.

I think the biggest problem is HTF social. Being an official forum it shouldn't being like this. This mean the fandom is out of control now. Every ridiculous things just came out from there. Polluted HTF. Misleading HTF fans. Sometimes I just can't believe what I see on the site. These admins are failed! "If a leader sets a bad example, it will be followed by his subordinates. "

Ah, Officer. I've seen it all. HTF Social is a "misfire failure". I see that the groups you crossed contained nonsense and offensive stuff. "Happy" Tree "Friends" social network should only consist of groups that is made for fun and friendly purpose, like a basic fan club. But... I also noticed some groups inspired from other movies are also crossed. Others like other cartoons like Regular Show group isn't crossed. I'm confused about them. Why did you crossed the movie-related groups while other cartoon-related groups aren't crossed, I wonder? Aha, a thread about MLP inside the Field Trip folder! I've been investigating that thread for long, and out of the blue, it updated so quickly, far from HTF-related stuff in general. Wouldn't it cause some HTF fans to quickly switch fandoms without second thoughts? I've been concerned over this one. I mean, this is one of many factors that many HTF fans quit or lost interest, because they think that MLP is better than HTF. MLP:FiM is a new show, so it's okay to like it, but not ended up leaving another fandom without finding a way to fix it. What's worse, the admins even active a lot in that thread more than HTF-related threads. So you're right about the failed admins, yeah. Oh, come on. Where's the "official" thing we're looking for anyway?

Happy tree friends Social sucks, they talk about all this world shit exept HTF. I think the people just join that social page just for the fucking chat. 75% of the active members are Flippy fan girls. Other ppl join it and they never come back. they make clubs for EVERYTHING, man that page is not facebook. I dont know if that "Kenn Navarro" guy is the true guy or just a guy that claim to be him.
I made lots of friends on that place like Stripes, but some of my friends from that page left it or they never came back.

Dogman, you're speaking the truth. HTF Social is a huge FAIL. It's not Facebook. If it's official, it should have discussed a lot more in HTF, rather than other things. I even rarely drop in. I just drop in for some forums that took my interest, accepting friend requests, or posting my fanfic. I don't know much what happened to Kenn and the other HTF crew. But I can only rely on Warren Graff, which unfortunately, didn't seem to show up at this moment. (he's the one that often answer in Q&A forum section) I guess HTF Social will be another version of Facebook... or maybe, it already is another version of FB.

HTF Social is out-of-topic. >.< (thank dogman for some screenshots of what happened to HTF Social) Especially for MLP:FiM thread, even if it's part of field trip folder, it looks more of an official thread but shown in the wrong site. The mods don't even care about it. I know that the issue is that HTF is on hiatus, but come on. Well, once again Dogman, thanks for the recent HTF Social screencap.

Hmm... just wondering, any other issues related to HTF fandom to discuss about? We can't just discuss a lot about HTF Social. Come on, I want to know any other issues, even well-hidden fandom issues need to be exposed.

There is alot but I think most of them are not important. But I would make a list below, All in my subjective opinion: *Fandom is dying by no more episodes release. *Sexy stuff *Humanized (I think every shows are having this issue? XD) *War related HTF *Flippy is overrated. *Flaky is overrated by FxF. *Flaky has to be girl because of FxF. *Trying to get some characters, such as Lumpy, away off the show. *Some OCs' gears are too complex. *Yaoi and Yuri stuff *Furry stuff *Made a fan character without bios. *etc... Most of them involved Freedom of speech. I don't really want to tell these. But TBH, I dislike these stuffs.

*Fandom is dying by no more episodes release. *Sexy stuff *Humanized (I think every shows are having this issue? XD) *War related HTF *Flippy is overrated. *Flaky is overrated by FxF. *Flaky has to be girl because of FxF. *Trying to get some characters, such as Lumpy, away off the show. *Some OCs' gears are too complex. *Yaoi and Yuri stuff *Furry stuff *Made a fan character without bios. *etc... 1. Yes, I think this is the main cause of most people abandoning HTF. No new episode has been released since "See You Later Elevator". But, what is the big deal? There's a lot of series who aren't continued and so fourth (Like The Lion King), and yet, their popularity is just as strong as ever. Why can't HTF be the same? 2. I never understood this one. WHY have anything "sexy" in HTF? Or any series for that matter? Not unless the series itself DOES contain it, then okay, whatever. But why expose it in HTF? So those Flippy fangirls can FURTHER make it easier to ruin HTF. 3. I actually got no problem with this. Its just the part of giving the females big breasts that bother me. But otherwise, I like to see how creative people get by giving HTFs human forms. 4. No comment, really... HTF isn't about war. Its about adorable animals dying in harsh and some times, funny ways. 5. Yes, Flippy is, without a doubt, the most overrated character in the series. Just because he "flips out" and seems unstoppable. If the characters were actually given the chance, they probably COULD defend themselves and probably even kill him before he does it to them. 6. I don't understand how the whole FxF thing even started. Flaky never showed she was interested in Flippy. Sure, she threw him a party. So? Anyone else would throw a friend a party. Just because it was Flaky, people instantly got the idea she loves him? I bet if Cuddles had been behind it, people would of made him and Flippy a "gay" couple like they did with Flippy and Splendid. The two never even met yet! 7. I had always thought Flaky was a girl for other reasons. The way her voice sounds. It sounds very gentle and soft, like a girl. The way she shyly moves her legs at times. Another girl trait. Most shy girls do that. Her "quills" look like very long red hair. She may lack the eyelashes because she could also be a tomboy. She's been seen playing sports, like soccer. 8. I personally find it funny whenever Lumpy is around. He can be so stupid, its unreal. xD But there are times where I DO wish that he wouldn't kill everyone, and someone besides Cub get to kill him. And yet, he's not overrated like Flippy? 9. There are some people who just don't take the time to fully develop their OCs. It takes a lot of hard work. I even haven't fully fleshed out most of mine, but I've been developing them more and more as I roleplay with them. 10. I seriously got no comment.... Some people just have twisted minds... 11. When has Furrys never NOT been an issue? Since the time people began to make anthros, people seem to sudden like the sight of furry breasts. I don't know about you, but that is just sick in my opinion. Mainly because I'm a girl myself. And I find it rather insulting. I mean, I like anthros myself, but I don't go THAT extreme. 12. Same as number 9. Some people just don't take the time to be creative and at least give a small bio about their OCs... And those are all my opinions about that list HankOfficer put up.
