What we need is people without commitment issues. Don't fucking post if you are going to drop without a word. If you are going to post stick with it.

This.

We've got the same number of active players as everyone else. At this moment Aniroleplay has about 300 members online, for example. And we're significantly larger than others like rPol. You just feel like the site is smaller than it is because:[list][*]No one posts often enough.[*]When they do post, it's in a larger range of short-lived roleplays, instead of fewer threads which last longer.[/list]I do think that we need to start culturally shaming the abandonment of RPs, if not punishing these players officially in some way. As it stands they face no consequences for their actions and that's why nothing ever changes.

I do agree with this sentiment, but I also would like to point out that the issue of non-dedication is hardly an RPGuild thing, heck, RPGuild is probably only average in how problematic it is. This sort of thing happens in any place you can RP down to sites not even designed for it, and even with way larger communities(RPnation comes to mind) I also see a larger amount of uninspired and dead roleplays. It's not like our community has a higher percentile of droppers, they're just more prominent because the people complaining about it on this specific site also tend to primarily use RPGuild.

To get back to the main topic at hand, I, for one, don't think we NEED more users. I would prefer to have more dedicated players join the site, but in general, with more people joining the above problem will still exist and remain.
