That depends... will my favourite character be in her 30m tall mecha unit? A piece of artillery war machinery that is capable of levelling a town in a single shot (Not to mention the additional aerial drone tracking units, the gattling guns, and MIRVs)? Or will she be on the edge of a cliff face with a sniper rifle and a bucket load of ammo? Cause either way she is a former military commander who's past happens to been blacked out by her former employer, that is one of 6 continental class corporations in a post nuclear wasteland.
I believe what has to be noted is that there is really two (maybe three) types of ERPs.
Firstly you will have the erotica, or literotica cause that's a cool word, where a story will be a mixture of a romance, love, and intercourse. The balance between those aspects may vary with some leaning more to one than the other, but these will be the roleplays that read much like a story with actual characters, depth, and a built up understanding as to who they may be.
Next you will come across what is just simply porn writing. This will be the roleplays that will play out with little to no plot, and can be pretty much summed up in a single comic strip. It's not wrong, there's nothing against this type of writing, but for many writers this may be where they draw the lines on what they feel comfortable with. To compare it to food the first example would be like a three course meal ending on dessert while this one is a pizza and Sara Lee icecream cake that you order from Dominos.
The last one shouldn't be counted but I've seen too many of them, and some people have taken it so far as to earn themselves a ban... but it's "that weird shit". Being a mod... seeing some of the things that get reported... I think the worse thing I have seen, and thank christ it was not on this forum, was a smut between a human and a Ridley Scott xenomorph Alien. I would love to see that stuff off the forum but PMs are private so it becomes difficult to monitor.

Removed, and the post after too.@Raddum
@Halvtand Done.
And no, members have never been able to delete their own posts. There was a trial for GMs deleting the posts in their RPs, but it had issues so it never got implemented.

Lots of good points but ask yourself firstly if it was the players or the GMs that were the main factors in the RP's death. Knowing where the trouble lies is knowing where you can address the concerns and if you need to apply remedies such as additional GMs, secondary characters, a discussion on plot, recruitment, or even the last resort case of a reboot/sequel.
One RP that I've been a part of is an RP that's gone over 2 years and several variations. We've added and removed players, rebooted into a failed attempt, and even had the original GM leave us, but the story has kept on going because the 5 of us have turned our characters into personalities through dedication (even at one stage I left the RP and returned with a fresh character to rejoin with). This is a rare case, but it has worked because as players we made an effort to help each other out and build the world as much as we could.
You need to listen to your GM, but your GM needs to listen to you as well. Too often I see RPs die because of a lack of communication and it can be because of silly reasons too.
