Their RP board is really active too... I want to say there's five or six active stories there, with only somehting like 12 people posting regularly at most, so not a lot of different people but lots of RPing.

You only need one person to make good stories.

You need more than 2 to make good RP stories.

From experience, it usually sucks for me under 4 people. That seems to be the magic number.

One person a RP does not make.

Two is pushing it but it can be done.

Grey and Sinfjotle pulled this off...I haven't seen it done otherwise.

Yes, but work on it has gone nowhere.

I just need to sit down and do it.

Self-insertions are shameful.

I have a self-insert character that is pretty much me.

I mean William is who I am. Who knows me more than me?

Sure I can exaggerate things but then again the stories can be absolutely absurd as it is, so keeping yourself 100% accurate is impossible in situations.

WILLIAM YOU WILL SELF-INSERT YOURSELF INTO PANI PONI DASH

NOW YOU WILL SHAMELESSLY CREATE A FIC ON IT GO GO GO

This is an example. Highly tempting too without work involved.

It's really more like two or three stories that are active at a time, with a five or so inactive stories that will occasionally get bumped into activity and knock one of the active stories into inactivity.

As for people... It's like seven of us that are usually active and about seven other people who are only occasionally active.

In any case, I think the main reason we moved to our own board was to avoid all the drama and board resets and things. I mean, that happened around when Acmlm's split into board2 and ||board. The resets and moving around and such was a bigger problem for us roleplayers than for everyone else.

That actually was an addressed problem almost immediately after the board split...I knew a great amount of activity (and, durr, people) stemmed from both RP forums and I knew that both of them were taking a dive because of all the lulzdrama that was going on. It got so bad that we ended up shitcanning it at one point.

Got me as to how that got put back in.

Every time I suggest throwing it into the abyss NO WAIT I HAVE AN IDEA okay fine.

At this point it's basically a zamboni zombie.
