Well, it's not that people didn't appreciate the work we did, exactly...

^ Yes, this. We had a handful of dedicated members that would come online at least a few times a week, and you can even see now that tons of new members are constantly registering and such, even though we've closed the site(lol). But pretty much all of the new members that register create a character, some even start an RP topic or two, but soon go inactive within a few days. I thoroughly read through every character application before approving, and after spending all this time on all these applications, just to see the members go inactive soon after... well no thanks. I'm done doing that.

And even then, members come back and want to start a new character for me to approve, or we want to start a specific mission and it takes weeks for enough people to sign up for it, then some of the members that signed up go inactive, so we have to work around that or wait for more people, etc. Bottom line is that we had a lot of goals that would have worked better for a large member base, but too many people go inactive. I guess that's just how forum RPing goes. Even on larger sites, there's likely a group of members that are active and have been for years, and then the rest of the site, maybe 90% of the members or so, come and go. Oh well. I stopped RPing on forums when this site went inactive.

^So that's why. Huh..
I've attempted to RP on other forums but then I went into a 1 year hiatus tried again and eventually just stopped. Since then I've just been on Youtube watching or posting videos on my new channel, Byond and I was on a Asian drama site but for months videos haven't been working for me. OH! And playing Xbox360~ I finally got Deadpool, Injustice and Saints Row the Third.

Then there's my Theatre Arts major and having to go to college everyday for church. (Non-denominational.) Both were sucking up time, now it's just church. Not even auditioning for anything now. D:

Had another nostalgia trip today. XD I even went to GaiaOnline earlier, I hated that place when I left. Interesting for me to see that my website was [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] (DON'T CLICK!) Like..I don't remember typing that in, ever.

xD yeah, that's basically why. It sounds mostly like me complaining in that post, but the biggest problem with any RP forum is that there usually aren't enough members =/ We had a lot of big plans and things that would work really well if a lot of people logged in every day. I've really just come to the conclusion that it's just the way of things for forum RPing. Small forums are created and die out really fast; the forum RPing community is too small, or spread out. Maybe if it was like a big collective thing. Oh well. It's really a shame for all the dedicated members we had though, that stuck with us for so long =[

It's nice to hear you're doing well, Yuki =] Good to hear from ya lol

It's nice to hear everyones doing well.

It's nice to see peoples posting in this topic. ^^ Let's do it again on the forum's B-day! That's like on May 26 I think...or sometime around there.

I think it's obvious that I'm going to post on or near that day every year. I know that may sound silly in someway.

Forgive me, but for old time's sake, this thread is gonna crash.

It'll take a million of those
The forum DOES have a character limit in the posts.....
You know you broke it once you hit it. And how do you know once you hit it? Try typing something at the end then post it if you can not post anything afterwards then you hit the character limit. (The forum will actually say something like too many characters) Which by the way...I'd like to point out...you didn't.
