"With Persistent RPs, Mahz has stated that he has a reason for keeping them higher up and that is due to visibility. Moving it down bellow means that less people are likely to see it and thus you will have less activity."

In fairness, what does Persistent World offer than warrants it being given (the most) premium real estate? Merely being on the front page is an incredible boost to visibility, and beyond that, I would hope that something intended to be of unique or greater quality/experience than other RPs would stand on its own merits.


Re: Tags
It seems that the conversation has again reached the "not everyone will have the tags they want" point of discussion. Personally, a set of categorical tags and then a custom "create your own" appears to be sufficient.

@Lord Wraith

I think everyone would at least need to be able to check a "show hidden posts" box per thread, in that case. Otherwise you could end up with an abusive thread creator hiding posts as he desires.

I remember at one point it's because it broke page redirection. If you had 19 posts on a page and one was deleted, you would post again and it would redirect you to the next page, even though there was technically another slot remaining, and this persisted every page thereafter because the internal counter was off.

If it's not too much to ask, I would love to see the option to delete posts. Not that I have anything to hide, but I noticed that it's a feature we don't already have. It's a little odd since most Roleplaying forums already have it and I would love to see it implemented here.

@Drekalba

If this is implemented, I recommend a timeout feature, so someone can't just go and nuke their post history. I imagine someone shouldn't have to delete a post after two hours.

@Mahz

Precisely. I believe that a little added detail in an image goes a long way and (IMO) would make things look cleaner, since some images come out looking blurry. Doubling dimensions should be more than enough.

Assumption shattered.
While we're on the subject of images, would it be reasonable to increase the resolution of profile pictures (though not increase their size; that value is fine)?

Image Dump Horizontal

Got a source on some cool bg images I can try out?

@Mahz

I'm assuming vertical work better than horizontal. Let me know if you have anything in mind; I can always edit other images and make their dimensions work on RPG, and it would be easy to upres any of them with Waifu2x.

Good to see you again, Mahz! Though not so much in the realm of feature requests, there's the bug we've discussed on Skype.

More in the realm of feature requests, an easy account-switcher would prove to be an incredibly useful tool.
I also ran across these concepts from this thread by accident a few days ago. It might be an interesting thing to revisit, be it per-account or per-RP.

How can we know for sure the coding of RPG is as organised as we expect? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@Grim

We don't. However, I would be hesitant to call it "more likely" to be unorganized.
