Default What happened to RP

When I first started on this site it had a thriving RPing community, it was full of new good ideas, constant posting, and long expanding stories. However as time went on it seemed less and less people made new RPs, and the ones who did gave up on the idea after just starting it. Or people who would join dropped out. What happened to it. I've tried other sites for it but I was hoping this one would always revive and be what it used to be, and I still am, but why did it get the way it was in the first place?

Having moderated this very same RP forum for over 7 years, I can tell you it cycles. Typically in the summer it gets active again, but as the school year rolls on people get more and more busy with that.

Once school gets out it should be better.

Anyway. I was wanting start a regular tabletop style RP, actually using the rules. It was going to be an attempt at giving the people who want to learn D&D or similar games the chance to do so together.
Xeno suggested we try this in the RP section, so I guess it would be good for rules-lite games with no battle grids (Mouse Guard, Dragon Age, World of Darkness).
It kinda got pushed down as there seemed to be no takers. Doesn't mean I've given up on the idea, right now I'm reading up for an in-person group.

The RP forum isn't inactive, we have a very active and thriving community, we are dedicated to what we love doing. At the moment we are just preparing for summer break, and most of the activity at the moment comes from the RP Groups, which me and a few Roleplaying friends frequently visit to keep each other updated when we can and cannot post.

But yeah, like Xeno said, during the summer, RP'ing will thrive alot, just like the first summer when I joined in 2008 to start RP'ing for the first time.

There are a few RP's in the works at the moment as well, which will bring forth more RP'ing from everybody who is dedicated to the RP forums .

So keep yours eyes peeled and be patient for more quality RP'ing soon!

RP'ing isn't for nerds . Its a cool hobby for people who like to expand their imaginations in areas other than reading, watching movies and other stuff. It is, just like any other fun activity, a hobby .

Everyone in the RP forum either died or is preparing for summer break.

As for the ones that died...they died living out their RP.

It's hard to RP when people are looking over your shoulder.

AND PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS LOOKING OVER MY SHOULDER!

It's a shame if it is dying. I have never participated in a RP but I do enjoy reading them.

I think, as previous posters and Xeno said, it will get more active in the summer. If I have a lot of free time (read: if I feel like it) I'll return to the RP forums again and have some fun with you guys. Not like anyone wants to see my face of course.
