[quote=@Raddum] Honestly can't blame people for leaving, considering the shit that goes down here on a constant basis. RPGuild has only gotten worse over the last 3 years, from what 'quality' we had before the guild went down. It's just been a slow, but certain descent that is more depressing than anything else. Casual is slowly becoming the new Free, 1x1's are becoming more and more smut focused. Like, what is this, Bluemoon? It's not as bad on the fetish shit, but it's still pretty saddening. I just want to write a story, but if there's no smut within two pages, you're gonna drop? Honestly, most of what I have to say more belongs in the bitch thread, so I'll probably just go rant over there. But if people do start joining, I can only hope we don't continue the trends that have been infecting my favorite one-on-one roleplaying subforum. [/quote] This is also another possible factor that I forgot to mention - there's a serious decline in Roleplay quality. No sections truly offer variety anymore and 1x1 has basically become a place that Roleplayers uninterested in smut/romance Roleplays tend to avoid. I still believe that the Guild desperately needs a system to separate smut-based Roleplays from ones that lack sexual content similar to Iwaku's system.
