Ages, most likely. It shouldn’t take a year or two for Aris to become a desolate ruin. I was undecided for a time, but I think I want to put my bits on the “Silverstream was born a seapony and only became a hippogriff after The Movie” theory. :3

“ShimSham my GlimGlams”
Novo forbid [the hippogriffs] from telling Equestria. That’s in the movie. She didn’t want any pony help either. None of this is on the ponies.

She repeatedly ordered Skystar not to tell Twilight’s coterie why they were hiding. In fact, ponies are forbidden from coming to Seaquestria:
Queen Novo: Because I am telling you if it is another shell, I am— [gasps loudly] Princess Skystar, whatta you done?! You know surface dwellers are forbidden here! Guards!  
[guards grunting]  
Mane Six: [gasp]  
Princess Skystar: No no n-no! M-M-Mom, please! It is so not like that! The Storm King is trying to destroy their home, too!  
Twilight Sparkle: We need to find the Hippogriffs. Do you know what happened to them?  
Queen Novo: Well, of course I know. I'm the queen. I know everything.  
Princess Skystar: Oh, oh, it's such a good story!  
Queen Novo: Don't you dare tell them!  
Princess Skystar: Once upon a time, like, a while ago, the Hippogriffs did live on Mount Aris.  
Mane Six: Oooh!  
Queen Novo: Did I not say don't tell them? But hey, I'm just the queen. Don't mind me.  
Since I think quite a few could get swayed by Swift Foot’s rhetoric.
 
I’m not sure how they missed it. A whole kingdom—a whole race—just vanishing like that.
When was the last time any pony frequented Mount Aris?

there’s also the question of why princess luna didn’t know about the hippogriffs. did their downfall happen before luna’s return? then how would the main 6 have lifted a hoof? in fact, didn’t they lift a hoof the moment they learned about the hippogriffs?
 
also consider that silverstream is a total neurotic ditz who would get worried if you told her “how do you know the main 6 aren’t bombing orphanages?” without any thought to the veracity of that statement. plus we’re all arguing about how she couldn’t possibly get disgruntled by swift foot’s words, so swift foot is provoking us commenters into getting salty af. how could we blame silverstream for falling for it, if we’re falling for it?

The End wasn't The End - Found a new home after the great exodus of 2012

By the way, another aspect that should be considered: Perhaps Celestia did know the hippogriffs had turned themselves into seaponies and were hiding. Why would Celestia tell anypony that, though? The point was for them to hide. They didn’t want anypony to know for fear of the Storm King learning of their plan. When he attacked Canterlot, Celestia had no chance to explain anything to anypony anymore, but again, this is what Novo wanted, to have their hiding covered up and nopony coming there to look for them.

Okay but then given how well they usually do they can afford to ‘waste’ their power on parties. Storm King side how many villains in the show have ever enjoyed more than temporary success against the ponies?

I got the impression that practically the whole populace was in Canterlot for the festival. And if anyone else where saw the ships they assumed them to be non-violent visitors.

@Starswirl  
Obviously the ponies should have ignored that and gone shoving in where they were specifically Not Wanted. Even though they didn’t know their help was even needed.
 
I may be thinking about this too much.

Okay what? How is this allowed? Are you telling me that that one narrow panel missing at the bottom is enough to let it skate by the “no full pages except official previews” rule?
