Who would participate in the RP forum?

I want to see if it's worth salvaging before I put time into doing something that will be deemed worthless and trashed due to inactivity. If you do feel like you can participate actively, perhaps posting once every two days if you can, I will make sure it's one of the best RP forums you can find onthe net. :D

I'm not into RP.

I wouldn't mind trashing it though.

But I don't think Beleth would like it much...

I will if it's good. But only after it gets going. I've never actually done RP before, so I'll probably end up trashing it tho...

Right, well I think that the RP forum is a perfectly valid one, and it has a lot of potential. The thing that is lacking, and the thing that the forum desperatly needs right now, is active participation, and this is something that cannot be provided untill the forum gets more active members who are interested in the RP aspect of the trilogy.
For the time being, I dont think the board should be scrapped altogether.
I believe that there is also the option of hiding the board, so that it cannot be seen in the forum overview. If we do this, then no information is being lost, and when/if we get enough members to activly participate in an RPG, we will not have to create a new forum.
I think this is a good compromise. We are not getting rid of the board entirely, just hiding it so we can bring it back..whenever.

Why don't you just take over from Krim? He could be GM, if he wants. And you can figure out how to attract people.

Well, I've never done it. Someone would have to teach me and persuade to me it's actually fun.

Ah well.

You seem to be more dedicated and determined than him. And you talk a lot more about it.

It's not like he's gonna be out of a job...

Well, if you talk to them, they'll listen. They're pretty flexible.

- coughs. - So, now I'm being told how dedicated I am to a cause by two people who have no firsthand experience of anything concerning the subject? You're telling me Beleth is more qualified than someone who has participated in RPs, written novels, and won awards since he was eight years old? Someone who modded a forum of over 30,000(it's now about 70,000) at the age of twelve? I don't think this is a thread for you to question how qualified I am to do this.

What do you want me to do, go around waving a 'GO RP OR I'LL SLIT YOUR NECK' banner? The point of this thread concerns who would actually participate to see if I should bother salvage the board. Do you mind not going off on a tangent, as is the status quo of every other thread in this forum? I'd greatly appreciate you two --- Luciene and Mwamba --- not flooding my thread with off-topic banter.

Hmm...

I didn't really say that. If I did, quote me.

Luciene, well...

I think she's just basing it on that she sees more of Beleth then you on the entire forum. Plus she was assuming you were going for GM, which you applied for I believe.

She didn't know you and I quote 'participated in RPs, written novels, and won awards since you were eight. etc.'

(And no, I am not defending her, I'm trying to see it from her POV. Which is probably not in my place but oh well.)

This thread is not half as off topic as other places here. Believe me.

But if I made you indignant, I apologise.

I agree with Krim of the fact that,

"You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink"


EDIT:

If it doesn't take off, I'll simply make it invisible, if people enquire about it, it'll come back.
