I've noticed that the RP section has been getting slower and slower in the past two weeks. It has me a bit concerned.
Perhaps we all have busy lives that are slowing us down, or perhaps I was a bit harsh as a mod, setting the posting limit rule (a rule that even I broke at one point)
Or maybe there's a certain absentee that I don't know about.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
Maybe we should start inviting friends outside these forums to liven the RP's a bit.

I personally think that it is just a phase.. It will pick up again sooner or later.
-
I'm not too concerned. I particpated in several RPs in the past. Slowdowns just seem normal to me. RPs tend to slow down sometime, then pick up speed later on.

Hello.
I agree with DH, you know I haven't roleplayed, but that doesn't mean I don't know of roleplays and players. Activity is always up and down, because it always depends on many factor, including real-life issues. But, as DH said, activity will raise again ;) , don't worry Aves, everything will return to normal, or even to get better.

The RP sub-forum is like the stock market; rates go up and down on a cycle that is very complex.

They seem slow now, but things may pick up later. Folks may be busy doing other things, college exams, ect. I've been here less then a year so it may be natural for the rp threads here to slow down from time to time.
-
it depends on how much free time we have available. for examplem, i had to scorekeep for a basketball tornament this week, so my time was limited.

I've had a big boring research paper on W.E.B Du Bois (never even heard of him :x ). I FINALLY got finished with it and turned it in today so I'll be free for a bit.
-
Good luck on your research paper.
-
Hey sometimes these things happen...I say we just wait and see what happens...
-
Who knows, it may well pick up again soon.

I think the initalrush of posting was unsustainable,there was bound to be a dropoff at some point..
-
it may be that. It may also be part of the ebb and flow. I've noticed, for example, even during the same time, I may come here 6 hours later and sometimes my last post is on page 2, and sometimes only 2-3 have posted since I was last on 6 hours ago, even during the same hours. So the posting to the rp threads may be the same. Folks busy in rl, not sure what to post, ect.

Agreed. Life's been...keeping me busy recently.
