Ah, I remember Gateway days...

I don't know about you, but I found with most of the roleplays I participated there tended not to last and the players were always unreliable; unless perhaps I had just surrounded myself with the wrong crowd. Here I find more serious writers who are actually motivated to keep and continue a story. 
I definitely enjoy that about this website, although I haven't been active since the guild was deleted and rebuilt (or whatever it was that had occurred).
