On the development of RPG: 'Abandoned'?

[Ether]

First, I'd like to say that I meant no offense to Mahz, who worked real hard to resurrect RPG a few months back. That's awesome and so is this site. I like new new layout of the site, but there are a lot of features that's left to be desired for a proper forum (a visual editor and a layout with a bit more life to it), and I can't help but wonder where had Mahz, the sole developer of the site, gone to since June.

I'm aware of his traveling around Mexico. Perhaps he did not have the time to spare for RPG or is somehow unable to work on it. but in such cases it would be ideal if he could appoint a person of trust to handle the improvements made to the website. Knowing RPG's community and size, I believe that some loyal users of RPG has sufficient web development skills to make this a reality. (I believe the current RPG uses Bootstrap as its front-end; I might be wrong on this).

The purpose of this thread is to bring awareness that RPG has 'stopped improving' (but certainly not declining). Our community is large and active, and it would be wonderful if we can expand and enhance our roleplaying experience by enriching RPG's features.

Well, Mahz might be back in Oct, Nov, or Dec. You just got to wait from him to come back from his job down in Mexico. Plus, the summer is almost over in Mexico, so he could be coming back soon.

Well, if that's the case I have little to worry. Still, the lack of development does stifle me away for quite a while from the site.

Mahz has historically never entrusted the website's development to anyone else and I think he is unlikely to start doing so any time soon. I'm still surprised he appointed Contra Fates as admin a few years ago; the site ran without a co-admin for years. I agree with you that there are several features that RPG needs sooner rather than later, like a decent search function, a friends list and a proper report system, but that won't happen until Mahz has time to spare.
