There were too few people active for it to be worth keeping. Really, it's no big deal. We can keep doing what we were doing, and now we have a crowd of sorts too. Our disappointment was only fueled by nostalgia, really. True, although maybe they should just go ahead and merge everything into one forum for activity's sake. :P @Fatalysm, we've got to defend the graphics area! The Graphic's Area has too much merit as a forum for that. There are truly great things in there. :) I'm really counting on people digging up old RPs I may have skimmed over.

It's nice to see you! I've only started browsing the forums again myself.

To reiterate, in case the ridiculous comparaison to mafia comes up: role-playing is, for most of us, a big writing experiment. We're not playing a game, we're writing. Likewise, mafia is a very interesting social experiment. I'm not trying to detract from it; it's just not what we do. When I'm RPing, I'm writing. I'm not pretending to be someone else, I'm just writing another character. I'm working with another writer to advance the plot, and help each-other with our writing and creativity. If A Song of Ice and Fire had been written by multiple authors, each assuming exclusive control over one character, would it have any less merit as literature?
-
Sure, but what about people that are not roleplaying in such theoretical aforementioned roleplay? Ummm what? I don't understand the question. What aforementioned roleplay? He's saying that our stories will be lost to people who would simply like to read them. At the core, most of us role-play out of love of writing. It's a giant writing exercise for me, not a game. We're writing a story where, generally, one writer writes from the point of view of one character. If A Song of Ice and Fire had been written by multiple authors, each assuming exclusive control over one character, would it have any less merit as literature?
-
Thank you for that!
-
The problem with that is that eventually our stories become lost in a sea of spam. I enjoyed having a separate forum for role-playing; all of our stories were archived. I regret not saving any of it, most of my first writing was there.
-
Here's your account you made almost exactly a year ago. And hadn't checked back since, apparently. Thanks! Can anyone clue me in on what's going on with the role-playing situation here?
-
I came back to RP, and realized my worst fear happened when I saw-- well, didn't see, The Role-Player's Room. However small the role-player community may be, to cater them with simply keeping a subforum that's already there (ie, doing nothing) isn't that big of a deal. The perceived low activity or the 'validity' of the posts there affect no-one but the RPers, don't they? Click This, what was the name of that website you joined? I just noticed your signature.
-
I'd be interested in making a good fantasy RP here.

What is this place?! Where am I?!

I agree, however I can't help but feel sympathetic towards a woman who now has to deal with the pictures, which will undoubtedly go viral. It's her own fault, I know, but I think the student deserves some form of punishment. Losing your job and never being able to teach again? Sure. But this goes much further. Agreed. She brought this upon herself by having sex with a minor but I do feel bad for her. It's not so much the consensual sex with a minor that bothers me, but the fact that she was the boy's teacher. It's a very serious breach of ethics, comparable to a psychologist having sex with a patient (comparable, mind you, but arguably a less severe offense.)
