One of the first forums I roleplayed on had a mentor system.I was 13 or 14 and I remember getting a lot of help from my mentor. They became a good friend for the rest of my stay on that forum. It motivated me to mentor others.It was a positive experience and something I'd love to recreate, but i'm not sure how.

My old forum also had a mentor system though it failed almost immediately upon launch due to lack of participation and interest. 

I do think that it is an excellent idea to have something like that to teach internet etiquette and roleplaying basics however. I just think it would require a different approach, you would need a sticky thread in the introduction section and actual interest by members to support and keep such a system running. 

While I don't really approve of how quickly this thread turned to petty insults towards gothpuppy for bringing up a simple idea, I do agree that this is a rather faulty idea. I think if it was on a larger scale and taken from a different angle however, it would perhaps work. 

Thanks~
