I think perhaps you misunderstood the original poster's question there. He was asking whether nor not Imaginary Friends can die, or if they live forever, basically, and if something happens to them other than dying, what? It's been established, though, that they CAN die, so I would assume that like us, they live out their lives and then die. pitbulllady |

Huh, I kind of have a theory of what happens to IFs when they're "forgotten". They are, after all, ideas, thought up by their creator. Ideas can fade, especially once the person who came up with it is no longer around to remind others of it. So after the creator departs from this world, the IF can start to "fade", and maybe get sickly and age or something. When they are in fact forgotten by everyone, then they depart from this world as well. In the case of Uncle Pockets, he was obviously a hit when his creator was young, and even after his creator is gone, he's still remembered and known by many, so he's still going strong. In the case of the scribbles, they are still remembered in the very back of the subconsciences of the babies that thought them up. And as for being taken before their time, it's the manipulation of the creators (or the human thinking of them at the moment) imagination that does them in.
But then this doesn't exactly fit into the Foster's universe where IFs do indeed become "real", but eh, it's the best I can come up with.

That was ORIGINALLY, more or less, what Craig and Co. had in mind, but realized that it wouldn't work with the whole premise of the Imaginary Friends becoming living, biological beings once created, since we all know that living things DO eventually die, so they scrapped that idea. They'd originally just figured that when a creator died, or even stopped thinking about an Imaginary Friend, that IF would just sorta fade away, becoming harder and harder to see, and less tangible, but if that were the case, MOST Imaginary Friends would have faded long ago, and indeed, we'd see that happen quite often on the show. Most kids DO forget, and I mean completely forget, their Imaginary Friends, perhaps intentionally, and unless reminded of them, wont' think of them again. They just do not seem to care;case-in-point: Mac's mom. If that is how Imaginary Friends cease to exist, for lack of a better term, then probably the only ones that would still exist would be those like Wilt, whose creator never stopped thinking of him, never stopped worrying about him or loving him, in spite of them being separated(and not because he WANTED to be separated, either), even after Jordan became an adult. While the show's writers decided not to tackle the issue of ANY major character actually dying, whether human or Imaginary, they've implied that IF's are still very much mortal beings. Foster's would hardly be needed if so few "survived" their creators forgetting them, and hundreds of such places would be needed if every Imaginary Friend that was ever created lived forever, barring accidental or intentional trauma, so the mortality rate of Imaginary Friends has to roughly balance out with the numbers being created. pitbulllady |

My theory was always that since the imaginary friends are real living beings in the show that it went something like this.
When no one remembers them, not they're creator, not any other humans, they die. It is being completely forgotten that kills imaginary friends, That is why Foster's is so important, since it's moto is "Where good ideas are never forgotten." They literally save the lives of those imaginary friends, because as soon as they are not remember by anybody, completely forgotten, they die. Anyway doubt its right, but this is what I believed on the issue. Erik Berg |

What would an afterlife for IFs be?

In my mind, Imaginary Friends will never be forgotten.
