[quote]It is a comparison between how people are using Expanded Horizons and how it was intended to be used. The fact is that there is only one actual RP going on. Subsequently, RPs are not crossing over or interacting, which was the whole point of EH in the first place. The sole active RP is doing well on its own, which begs the question, why bother having it in Expanded Horizons? It appears to be self-contained, and even if it wasn't, it wouldn't matter. User-created worlds are of no value if the GMs in charge of them are not maintaining them. The GM of the active RP would be better off redesigning that world on their own. It is a gigantic project, posted above all the other RPs, with a huge scale and fantastic plans, and it is very dead, to the point that members here consider it an eyesore. RPGuild is promoting a deserted section above all the other RPs, and it's a darn shame.[/quote]

I want to do those things as soon as there is enough activity for it though. Even if there is only one thread at a time, I would plan on maintaining a continuity between those threads. I think it is good for there to be somewhere where people who are interested in a persistent setting have an outlet to try it, even if it is only a minority of total users. If there was somewhere else that I could go which was more active than EH that would be one thing, but there isn't. I encourage people who are bothered by its inactivity to join it so that it can be active enough to live up to its potential, not try to get it deleted.

[quote]As for gain and losses, the site is improved by having RPs correctly organized again. It helps activity and streamlines the main page, and it ultimately removes what is ultimately a failed endeavor from the main page, where it is proudly displayed for a vast majority of players to disregard. If you would examine the rest of this thread, you'll notice that leaving it as it is already upsets quite a few people, who would rather have it removed or scrapped rather than changed.[/quote]

Other people being triggered that something merely exists doesn't matter. If you have an RP that you are enjoying, and aren't breaking any rules, it doesn't matter how many non-involved people I can round up who think it's a garbage RP and should be deleted. It would be wrong for it to be deleted just because a crowd of otherwise unrelated onlookers say they personally don't like it.

[quote]Another acceptable outcome, already accepted by everyone else, would be for [b]Expanded Horizons to be moved below the Roleplay section[/b] so that it doesn't detract from the other 99% of RPs that are actually progressing.

I don't really see how its position in the ordering detracts from anything, since it's apparently not drawing many if any people away from the other sections, but sure I guess. The ordering isn't a big deal imo.

I do agree with CoyoteLovely that I would prefer less rules and the most open-world/free setting possible. However the profile approval and "rules" are very sparse and not a major issue. I had no issue making a quick profile that got accepted and there hasn't been any case of arbitrary rules interfering with anyone's writing that I have seen.
