Good morning my fellow RPers!
So, I'm still kinda new to the guild, but I've been really enjoying my time so far and I've found plenty of interesting RPs to join. However, some of those RPs feel like they are slowly dying off...so my question is, how do you guys, who have more experience, handle the inactivity? Do you try to get the people motivated? Do you start a discussionas as to why people stopped posting? How long do you wait until you decide to drop out? I'd just really hate to see those RP die, but i don't know what I can do to stop it. Btw, im just a regular player, not a Gm or anything.

Thanks to anyone who leaves some input :)

'Ello, Zorogami! Glad you're enjoying your time on The Guild. 

In my experience, the rps I have ran myself that went through intervals of inactivity and periods of slowness have always benefitted from a combination of two things. First, posting a recruitment thread in interest check sub-section of the section it's in. It also helps to post it in the General Interest Check section as well. You never know who will happen upon either the one in the General Interest Check section or the interest check sub-section. As for the section thing, well, that revolves around the overall dedication that the gm has. If they truly want it to survive, then they will do all that they can to make it live on. Of course, if they aren't wanting to make it work, then obviously they will let it die out without anymore effort on their part.

The thing about RPs slowing down in activity is always a problem. You never know which rp will survive for more than the cursed 4 month mark and which ones will go on to have 1+ year runs. I know of a few on the guild currently that have been up ever since the guild came back from the GuildFall of late-2011. And I know of some RPs - some that I was apart of mind you - that didn't last more than 2-4 months. 

So, I guess it really just depends on the two things I said. Oh, and the players themselves. There is no future for any rp with players who don't post. That's just a given.
