This is a sketch of how the RP forum could be organized and that way, easier to use.

General RP discussion
no threads yet as far as I can see

Maybe if the "Shadow Lands Oriental" start out, it could have a thread too..

WOuld it be good to do is this way, could it be done a better way, or should it just be left untouched.

Well, if someone starting an RP wants a subforum, they may ask for one in this thread. But only those who started the RP.

As I have mentioned before, and will do again...
There is two different kind of subforums;
1: For an individual subject or brigade
2: For a sub-topic or just to keep things organized

There is only one subforum that is in the 1st category, the Lost Eden, one.. However this thread was made to her people's oppinions, and if like the idea of organizing the forum, I am going to ask for the changes to be made.
Just like the "Game creation and modification" subforum in the Gaming section, is not just for one "game" but for the topic of it's own name.

I think the forum should be organized in.


storybased rp's - lost eden the oriental thing maybe the animeb LH episode

general rp's - chalenges no rule rps

discusions - lost eden ooc and animeb LH episode discusion

general - for people how want to start new rp's and requests for subs

discusions - lost eden ooc and animeb LH episode discusion

It would be stupid to have the OOC threads the same place with discussions. Discussions would be about RP as general.

general rp's - chalenges no rule rps

I don't think the name "general" should be used, why is a challenge a general RP?


However I agree with you on the general one, but that is already the root forum.

challenges would be considered general because it's one of the most commenly played rp's here together with the no rule rps.

and about the discusion sub how many discusions abour rping in general are there there is nothing active right now and there only have been 1 or 2 in the past.(checked archieve)

and about the discusion sub how many discusions abour rping in general are there there is nothing active right now and there only have been 1 or 2 in the past.(checked archieve)

If you look at the SFF, then you will see that a lot of threads came AFTER it was made, and they didn't exist before.

that's true.
still a diferent sub for the story based rp's and one for the ooc threads about them would seem apropiate from my point of vieuw

You dont think it would be better to have the big RPs with an OOC thread in their own subforum?

I don't think single threaded rp's need a own subforum.
cause why have a sub with 2 threads?

I agree with that and then you have the smaller ones in their own general sub forum. But that leaves the problem of what defines a small RPG and what defines one as requiring a sub forum as one may argue that the party thread requires a sub forum due to its size

Just like the brigades, it would be up to the mods to decide

I think only multi thread rp's should have an own sub

Well, to get a subforum, there's also some other issues that need to be resolved.

1) If an RP dies, should we keep the subforum? I say "no"
2) If an RP has discussions, yeah, good idea to make a seperate thread for discussions (ooc) instead of putting them in the RP thread.
3) If we move all the RP's into their own subforums, what's the purpose of the root forum? It would become a ghost town.

in another forum the 'root' forum is only used to get to the subs nothing more.

Ah, but this is not "another forum" - this is animeB

The root forum could be used for RP's that have died out, and were de-forumed....how's that for an idea?

that sounds good how bout you silasJ?

Sorry to jump in randomly... =P

I think the root subforum should be kept for general RP information, and random spars, like the ones I have going on. That would be best.
That way more organized RPs can have their own subforums, and all will be good. ^_^

Also, do we have an active mod here? I was trying to steal that position a while back... but Mastergamer came back for a bit... <_<
</greed>

Well, if you get lazy and leave again, then what are we gonna do?
