I mean, come on. When the sparsely made new, original, great roleplay comes along, it's usually left out to die, but when some zombie or "mystic" RP comes along, it gets hundreds of pages!

The world never ceases to amaze me.

Oh yeah, I was just looking at that. I was thinking of joining, but I'd probably waste all my bullets on the mushroom voddie in the first two minutes.

Are you talking about GOOD threads not getting members, or just YOUR threads not getting members?

@both
I've never made a thread-I just post. But I've seen many great ideas come, get a few posts, then simply cease to exist. Meanwhile, you've got "Wizard Chronicles" and "Flight Canceled" becoming the most popular things out there.

@hasaras

it's because the word 'good' has many different subdivisions and can be tacked on to many different things according to opinion. there's ways to support your opinion and rationalize it but ultimately it will never become fact.

what you think is good is probably just not other people's cup of tea, either or that or maybe it wasn't written as well as you think and was confusing to other people who looked at. perhaps it was too long and people felt it seemed more like a novel than an rp.

if rps fail, it isn't because other people are consuming idiots it might just be because sometimes they don't want to take roleplaying seriously and just relax and have a bit of dumb fun.

@Mr

Well, if people's cup of tea is crappy, overused ideas, then it is. Not much I can do about it. It's just the fact that, excluding one or two, no thread I ever thought was good ever survived. EVER. So either I have an extremely off sense of what people think is good, or the aforementioned problem is true.

NO, NO, NO.
That one is good.
Of course, it's been up for one or two(?) days now and hasn't progressed past the first page. Not saying it's bad at all, but it's not the most active thing ever, unlike (here's my point) "ZOMBIE COUNTRY" or one of those stupid Naruto RPs.

@hasaras

wow you really have no sense of fun do you

look man is it so hard to believe that when people like something they'll make a thread about it so they can enjoy it more??? and because it's popular sometimes the threads will already be well in their way to rping so they feel the need to make another??? or they think they can make a better one??

your opinion doesn't have to be catered to by every rper, it's not like everybody else doesn't have threads they liked die

also this is a gosh darn kids website don't you think mini hunger games fans or people who like dragons or something will wander in here an try to have fun and make friends

I'm not sure, but weren't you in the Mutants? If you were, do you remember how that died out, even though it was a great RP?
