What makes topics die?

I guess it happens to some and not just me.  Nice to know.

And there are some new topics started by people, which unfortunately, not a single person posts on it at all. Yes, people do view the thread as far as I’m concerned, but either they’re not interested enough, care enough, or they just don’t know what to say. As a result, a discussion within the topic is never sparked in the first place. So basically, threads like those were dead from the start.

I seem to like reviving threads though, so that’s good.

I think one factor in why a thread doesn’t stay alive is simply the topic had been discussed before for a long time, and someone who posts a thread about said topic, say one on Rhett, doesn’t know members have talked about Rhett and his lies tell there is nothing left to talk about.

I am crying while seeing how all last roleplays die very quickly. Especially I am still mourning about roleplay in style of original movie (because it's only play I joined). Unfortunatelly, it makes me not even consider to join any new roleplays.

The RP section used to be a lot more lively, but people moved on and now there are only like four people who post in it, and none of them have time for more than like a post a month. It's nobody's fault, just a thing that happens, and I'm just glad I got to experience it back while the RP section was still a real thing

I miss last year’s Role Plays, alas trying to revive some of them is a major undertaking.
