Before I start quote on quote ranting, I would look to say I have never made a discussion form. I am just going to make this quick so people are not bored with an EXTREMELY long post. I have been noticing that old users (Users who are experienced with roleplaying due to their amount of experience) and high skilled users (Users who can make good, detailed post without dragging it on) have started to disappeared. I am not trying to offend and any new users but recent roleplay's just flat out are bad. I am not gonna sugar coat it.

They are bad, unoriginal, and so lazily made. Some of some even have stupid rules. I am not gonna get into that post. If you would like to argue or agree, please be my guest. But my hope is that these inexperienced or new users, will get better. Why? Because my first roleplay I was in and the first I created, was AWFUL. Completely awful! But now I have greatly improved over the course of a year I have continued to improve. Anyway, that's just my opinion.

Agreed.
While I don't RP anymore (partly because I cannot find a topic that actually interests me), the first few RP posts I made were horrible one-liners without much coherence, and I improved a lot thanks to the help of a few other experienced RPers. When I look at the RP forum these days, the only things I see are either continuations of long, boring RPs or those with uninspired topics.

Agreed A LOT.
Although I can understand people trying and not being able to do descriptive posts even if they are old or not, some don't even try.

@teius My point exactly. I swear that 90% of all roleplay post now a days are just one liners. @~Hatoko~ Same here. Most of the topics are either generic or are just poorly done.

Agreed! All of my RPs get no one except me or Murasaki to join, and the reason must be because they're Semi-Literate. It's not common for any of my RPs to get anyone else to join, thus resulting in the RP never becoming active. I mean, I once made an RP that would help other users improve but no one joined except me.

I'd love to see more Semi-Literate and Literate RPs.
Now that I mention it, one of my best RPs (and my oldest) never even had one-liners. Or, it was uncommon.

@-TheSans- Same here. A lot of roleplays do not get joined even though the idea is different, but because they are quote on quote "too long". The head post of one my most recent roleplays is only 2 paragraphs.

Tbh , I have never tried an RP in which they write a paragraph :3
I mean, I could try writing a big para or two. But I don't think I have the experience yet. :/

@ImmatureGuy I am not saying you NEED to write a paragraph. But try to at least stop making one-liners. An example is this "Bob walked around.", Jim waved goodbye. That kind of stuff.

@Draco
Even though I post like that I hate it , But there are situations where there aren't much options.

Tbh I can't say im a semi/lit roleplayer.
I mainly post stuff like what Draco mentioned but I try to make it in a few sentences.
Oh yeah and people who post things like

"____:walks around"

Bothers me tbh

Now, I'd say that's a task well taken care of! Uh… were you expecting something more?

@Everyone (This might be long)

1.People make Rp that interested them not others (5/100) would probably join. Example: A newbie Rpers they would probably make Warrior clan RpS Like really there are so many of them now.
2. Personally for me I'm one of these (20/100) would this. They are analyist they would Probably make a poll of "which Rp do people wanna Rp in?" Other would analyz people's behavior or rants of RpS.
3.People in generally or lazy and mean. (NO OFFENSE) They would probably join an Rp with their friends, they'll post for a while and then stop without any warning. Please TELL THE RP CREATOR THAT YOU WOULD BE POSTING AND THAT YOU ARE DONE!!! IT'S SORTA ANNOYING, because they'll have to hunt you down and ask you. (Had to get that out there =^•^=)

@The_Great_Gary That's understandable, but in my opinion an rp should rarely be in a situation like if their is conflict amongst the roleplayers. And yes, those are lacking but that's because they are generic in my opinion. They almost always are the same thing, and even they are different they usually end up being like the others.

@-Kei Agreed. I hate it to.

@The_Great_Gary Who are newbies?

@Fennekinandcelebi That's already a feature. It's called roleplaying over a long period of time with experience roleplayers to help increase your skill.
