That's exactly what I have been brought to think for the past few days after Povenmire live-tweeted the last Dance Party performance (yeah, that brought me to this nostalgia ride.)

I think the fact that Disney is really restricting fanon works as well as freedom of movement of its staff (aside from directors) is probably the largest contributor towards the declining inactivity of the fandom. Compared it to the horse fandom, even the show staff is quite bro to the fans and they're not really that constricted by Hasbro to enjoy fanon works. Lastly, the fact that they are really trying to pull to much strings after jumping shark after shark (once literally, I guess), it's making it a little stale so to speak.
