Well, I'm creating my RP and modeling it after some RP's I've seen in the past where an entire forum on proboards was dedicated to a single rp. I will admit though that with the exception of maybe two of them, it was mostly just nice to have that feeling of having such a vast world to rp in and there usually weren't enough dedicated members for the site to truly flourish.

That said, even when there were only around 5 people RPing characters in multiple sections of the forum divided between areas in the world, the feeling it created for the setting and expressing the vastness of the world truly gave it a feeling like no other. I don't think a single thread could imitate even with dividing like IC and OOC are here, but I do think this would be the closest I could get nowadays. I don't have enough dedicated RP friends to make a website now, nor the connections here or elsewhere to pull members from other forums to participate.
