Hey,

It's been years since I last checked in here. I've been browsing the forums lately and have seen many inactive or dead RPs. I wonder if this site is as active as it used to be years ago, or if people have been navigating to Discord. I heard that Discord-based RPing has become more popular these days.

^^ this.

The site has seen a slow in activity but it isn't dead dead. People have moved on to other platforms/retired from RP or disappeared entirely, but RPG still has a sizeable population to be considered active.

The activity will be more easily found in the 1x1 section and through PM's. (Where I've happily RP'd for the past few years on this site.)

@Aiyanna, I am still running an RP, although it hasn't had an IC post for 3 days now.

Yeah, I'm RPing as much now as I did when I joined. Just depends on what you want, really.

It is still pretty active, yeah, from what I have seen. It is as the other have said. Yes there are discord rps going on, but the site still has a pretty good share. A lot of activity is found in pms though, including the 1x1 section. I know I have a preference for mainly pm 1x1 rps myself.

So 1x1 is now most popular here? It's a shame, I really loved RPing with a few people.

@Aiyanna I wouldn’t say that at all. There are plenty of active games in group and quality ones get posted all the time. Keep an eye out. I’m in some amazing groups right now, there’s really no shortage of them. If you wanted to make or join an RP, there would absolutely be people there to play.

@Aiyanna
(Assuming you don't have your own established in-group that tends to be in every single RP together.) I'd certainly say it's the one section that will waste the least amount of your time.

The 1X1's will start faster and last longer on average. (Regardless of their complexity.) The OOC (out-of-character) communication is easier for obvious reasons. And its conclusion will usually be more obvious and transparent too.

Plus, the 1x1’s usually let you know the desired quality and quantity ahead of time. (And the best ones provide writing examples on top of it.) So you don't have to worry about the fake authority of GM's and Co-Gm's. (That will often only use their titles to dismiss outsiders from their preferred group.)

But I've also seen people create small group RP’s. (For three or four players.) So I’m sure you’d be able to find something that works out. (Point being, don’t let me stop you from trying. But I’d certainly suggest starting your own and being proactive, if you’re looking to start a group and not have it take over a week just to get started.)

1x1 = You don't have to worry about the unreliability of group RPs flaming out and you can coordinate your time more sparingly.
