After reading what people have said about this, I think moving role playing in a place out of the forum is a decision all for the best overall. I never liked the fact that RPing counted for post count, seeing as some members might think that the number of posts determines your rank in society or something:confused:. But much more importantly, it is necessary for the sake of cleaning up the forum by clearing out space. We're doing this for Mufasa here, for the same reason he's clearing out threads more than a month old. He's paying to keep this place open, and he's offering an alternative. The least you can do is take his offer instead of resisting change.
You know what...there are site builders made for rp and rp only...I have made a bunch of rp forums using free forums...I can make one for all the different rps on this site if everyone would like? It'd work better cause it is a forum builder made for rp
Or I can make another rp group site using invisionfree, like Ulaya and my site Aftermath...you can put whatever on there and also no bandwidth or payments to keep it running
well he said if we got support then something would happen and we got the support.Quote:

I'm still up for this forum to stay open. I have joined and posted in both Dan's and STL's forum and I have posted a thread for my RP on STL's forum just in case the RP forum does happen to close down.
You're changing his wording LKS, he said if enough interest was put into it.
You let him decide that? ;)
i didn't change a word Uka at all
Yeah well in the end yeah its down to him....
Well we should decide soon...and if you all decide to make a new forum/site for the rp you should decide on only one cause too many different sites will confuse and probably annoy the members of the rp..and like I said I can make a site based soully on rping and stuff and I can do it, customize everything and put as many different forums and options and finish it within a day, that is if that's what we decide to do or allow me to do, if so let me know and I'll start immediately and give the link when i'm finished and make the leaders of each indiviadual rp here their own section/forum on the board and make them admins and mods. Just tryin to help out where I can.
i'm not too fussed. by the looks of things, a lot of people are more familiar with StL's forum, so I say stick with that one :D
Yes you did, you said if it got enough support and you said that you had it. How do you know how much support he was talking about? ;) :p
Anyways I'm not too worried cause their are plenty of options...everyone just has to take a minute to calm down and breath..if the rp section closes down it won't be the end of the world considering there are many different FREE board/forum/site builders out there and as far as I'm concerned I've made tons of boards and sites and making another one won't be that big a deal for me...It's somewhat fun sometimes..when you have nothing else to do or really want it done so you can start posting and stuffwhatever is decided the world will still be intact it isn't gonna end completely anytime soon...for most of us anyways
Well we don't need litterly hundreds Uka for it to be classed as enough.
Even if its a small number like we got; that is considered enough.
It is a shame that all this had to happen though...
There ar emore people for getting rid of it then there are for it LKS I guarantee it.
well like to see how this place does with just random threds I really do :lol: should be quite fun to watch.
And considering some of these people don't RP and couldn't give 2 ***** about this section.
Aye but its true there is a few but also theres those who don't want to see it go so its sorta 50-50.
I think it should stay.
Although I suck at RPing, I do like to RP other things. I wouldn't want to see my faves closed too. So I'm supporting LKS with this topic. :D
Anyways I'm still up for me making a board or site for the rp to continue at as well as other things...If it comes down to that then either PM me or e-mail me at xewan_archerx@yahoo.com or my yahoo id is xewan_archerx...my AIM is dSmileEmptySoulb...and my MSN is Cody_Azrayell@hotmail.com...i'm on all 3 right now, i'm invis all the time since i have Trillian so just IM me I'll respond if I'm there
Well after reading this thread and talking with Ravoc on MSN here is another suggestion.
How about if to decrease the database size the posts older than one month be deleted and archived into a file (word, text, whatever works) then the Rp's can stay and Lea would be free of space and it would improve for all of us. besides I don't think that anyone looks at 1000 + posts to join an Rp. either way that is my idea. what do you people think.
I think best that we both leave this thread LKS << As we both stand firmly on opposite sides.
And neither of us is getting anything accomplished with bickering back and forth on what should be done.
I like that idea too
Good suggestion although I think it's best we wait and see what Muffy says about all of this. We all have different opinions about the subject which should be brought to attention by Mufasa since he's the admin and since he's the one who will be making the final decision about whether the RP forum should be deleted or not.Quote:

Not about you and LKS Ravoc, the thing Ngatuny was talking about
Wow, this seems pretty out of the blue o.o
I don't do much RPing around here, but theres a few things I'd like to comment on...
1) Yahoo groups sucks for RP. Everything is backwards and counterintuitive, thread structure is virtually nonexistent, and its just awkward in general.
2) It sucks when a major RP site goes down. Trust me, I've been through it twice. Everyone kinda scatters, going off to all different places and whatnot.
I probably had something else to say, but I don't remember. Enjoy the disjointed thoughts.
I decided I'll make an rp site myself...no use in waiting for the rp forums to be deleted before taking action I'll post the link when it's finished and if anyone wants to join to rp and chat and stuff, be my guest otherwise the rest of you can stay here and continue arguing and opposing eachother but that isn't helping or doing anything for the rp
Thnx Suki :hugs: thats another one at least.
Uncle N's idea sounds good I'll give him that...but its gonna be awkward for people who have been away finding those posts and being able to reply back; unlike now where you can hunt them down pretty quickly.
Well gotta see wat the big guy says I guess...
I still think we should have a petition...
The rp board i'm making is currently under developement..should be up and running by tomorrow night or tuesday morning for those of you that want to join and continue rping (just giving everyone the heads up)
look we are getting things sorted out just keep it on hold I suggest I feel like we are actually getting somwhere here.
Sure thing I'll keep it under developement and if it's needed then i'll turn the board on when it's done so that everyone can register and stuff and then get to rping right away...only if we decide to use it that is
*cricket**cricket*
Kago u got told once...and I will say it again please stop with the spamming it sorta gets old and annoying....
Kago, you've made your point alright? We know where you stand on this. I returned to this thread only to give you a warning.
SPAM = BAD
This has been a warning
See this?:

No.

:p
Ok, I'll shut up now. Really. Truely.
Some people only go on the RP's anyway.
If you close down the RP threads, then we're gonna loose a lot of nice members.
I think the RP forums should stay open. Ngatuny's idea sounds like the most reasonable to me so far.
Resisting change?!?!Quote:

Most of the people here are suggesting change!!!!!
Alright, well I definitely won't close down the RP forums since many members here use them and use them often. They really don't take up much bandwidth at all, so that isn't a problem. If someone does take the initiative to create something offsite and members choose to embrace it, I will still support it of course.
On another note, many have suggested not counting posts made in the RP forums towards overall post counts. People have cited the shear volume of posts some members have as being intimidating to new members. Where does everyone stand on this?
I personaly think that it has a significant effect on the way one might percive a member, but that's just me.Quote:

I really don't care about my post count. Its nice to celebrate and all, but thats because those posts mean you've talked to a lot of people. Not unless your a spammer.
I think the RP section being a no-postcount zone would be good.
I think Upendi should be the same, but thats just me.
