I honestly don’t think this will do anything. If people wanted to seriously roleplay they would. They just don’t

Having a ‘private’ or ‘unique’ forum won’t change the fact that no one has any good ideas or the time to do it. It also won’t change that the people who took it seriously left a very long time ago.

Go ahead and make it but I don’t see it working. The user base has changed. Accept it, move on. People from 4Chan and ED do not want to pretend to be a emo kid.

This is very true. Log in to see images!

I personally wouldn’t be eager to participate in such a forum either. Why? Because there would be even less activity than on the normal forums and because it would be rather exhausting to deal with all the guys who are “trying too hard”. LHO is actually right about saying that too much RP can be annoying, especially if someone tries to force you into it. The most entertaining RP characters here never had that much trouble with “RP hate” anyway.

And the highest enjoyment I got from Flamebate wasn’t caused by the most cleverly thought out character. The posters I enjoyed the most (and I’m pretty sure, others did, too) usually didn’t take themselves too seriously. And often, it weren’t even particular people, but rather group dynamics that made Flamebate fun. And this is what’s missing: There’s absolutely nothing going on here anymore. No people worth making fun of, no super-drama regarding certain bans or admin actions or anything, no klan warfare, no rule bending, nothing. Even when h0g left, not much really happened in the RP section. Log in to see images!

If I started a thread one year ago, 75% of the posts in there would have been pretty lame already, but I would have definitely found something to continue the thread. If I start a thread today, I don’t even have to bother looking into it again.

I wish people would focus their energy on doing some role-playing instead of elaborately describing how something new that hasn’t been implemented yet will fail.

You should do it because right now the normal roleplaying forums aren’t roleplaying, there just without as many rules. Test it out, it has no downsides.

I can think of a downside.

“****TY RPERS RUINING THE SECTION. WE THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN HERE FOR YEARS THUS ARE BETTER THINK SOME THING IS ****TY IN THE NEW SECTION THUS WE PROTEST IT BECAUSE IT’S ****TY”

I mean, do we really want the inevitable QQ threads?

SRSLY is currently zombified. I’m still around, just lurching around and mumbling “braaaaaaaains” a lot.

or typing like the kyoubai squid.

Just a little, have sexual intercourse.

Squid RP of my defect is not limited at all. I’m using all resources, that is possible

(( what I really meant to say is that squid RP is extremely limited, and overused. Can’t do much better than that Log in to see images!

So then don’t use it.

That was my point.

Hence why I rarely post on that character.

I did try building some sort of RP on it, but it’s a half bumed meme within a meme. Everyone has squid-related jokes before. There’s no way I can be original with that.

Oh ****, alt reveal – brb reporting myself.

This post is in reply to the conversation happening in the “food” thread that has nothing to do with food.

As far as I can tell, gimmicks post only very, very occasionally, otherwise the gimmick goes stale. They’re RP, but not sustainable RP like this suggested forum is looking for.

We’ve seen some good RP here in the past, but it’s always been relatively short-lived as the character’s story ran out.

If we’re forced to choose one character and play it consistently in a “Civil RP” forum then I don’t imagine the forum activity will last long. This isn’t an RP site it’s a parody site.

Having said that: What could it hurt? Just do it imo

I really don’t see how it could hurt anything. If it becomes the unfunny circlejerk some fear it will, you can just avoid reading it, right? Even if it ends up being mostly gimmick posts, I don’t see how that’s worse than Anonymous. I’d just try it and see what happens and if it’s truly terrible, well, it’s just a forum. It can be deleted or reworked again.
