When I first joined into the RP forum I remember it being filled with life and fun things to do. I remember stories, contests, interesting roleplays that filled the front page. I remember trolls that were fun and not just raunchy and inappropriate.

But here's a little secret, it is nostalgia. RP had dozens and dozen of problems when I first joined. I just ignored them because I was looking at the bright side. That's the REAL problem with the new RP forum.

Everyone here is either crotchety old-timer who has been here for 6+ months and refuses to post anything because everything is either "Unoriginal" or "overdone" in the community's eyes.

Or just new-comers who try to post something they like but it is unoriginal and get stomped out of existence.

This "new-comers being bad" thing has always been around but back then we had enough people to make up for it. However, people keep leaving making it MORE AND MORE devastating to shoo off people who are trying to join our community.

You can ignore the warning and continue complaining about the lack of community or content but just know; things will not be getting better if we don't cut the new guys some slack.

Honestly, I don't mind Skyping with you guys. But a 1:30 in the morning when I'm trying to text and the stupid Skype call keeps blocking what I am doing. It drives me into insanity.

I havent been here long, well. I usually come for a bit then go and come back but I agree. We've got a lot of respected people, that are great but we cant have the same community unless we try to create it ourselves.

You cant stand forever, waiting for the wind to blow you there. You have to walk yourself there.

Sadly I fit creative's description.
I don't create many role plays anymore because they all die. I do the interest checks and collabs and shiznit, but they all just flow down the drain.

Exactly, all we have to do is encourage newcomers to continue our little thing going on here and actually speak our minds.

We should try to keep things original but if you wanna do a roleplay based on something done already, just do it.

The "actually speak our minds" part? Yeah, we already do that. Bluntly so.

Not only that, we should mentor the newcomers, and not as harshly as we sometimes do. Creative makes a great point, and we should listen to him.

Yeah good luck mentoring 10 year olds to use better grammar @dragongirl

And no, I don't think I'm exaggerating the average new-comer age



My opinion is simple: We're just growing up. We want more detailed stuff because we know what detailed is. Newcomers are often young and just want to pretend their little hearts out with their pokemon and sonic fantasies.



TL;DR: Newcomers are Spongebob & Patrick in the cardboard box.

If they're willing to try and improve, then it wouldn't be that hard for them to grow better at writing.

@Dragon; That's the problem. 99% of them aren't willing to improve. They just want to RP the way they already do and pretend in their little fantasy worlds

99% is very inaccurate but I see you point. Still, I think we should let them RP the way they want to in their own RPs. We should only really tell them how to RP when they join one of ours. That gives them incentive to change rather than just being ordered to.

Yes I agree with this.

I never said we should order them to improve. And I still agree with Creative 100%. Still, it isn't the end of the world if I'm trying to be optimistic.

You are definetely right. The community is getting progressively worse every month.

I used to be a dumb newcomer, but now I'm working to lose that title.

it's so weird too because everyone always says throughout RP history that RP is dying

Even during the "golden days" people were worried about RP dying and it's just so surreal

What is even going on I can't recognize

I forgot who else joined with me, we joined around the same time and some guy, Lazer or someone bashed us relentlessly to find out if we were alts, and then he said something that made the other leave.

So Purely, I've made 2 RPs recently: one that is a satire RP and the other that is a sitcom RP. Links:

http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=152249654

Oh yeah, if you don't know what a sitcom RP is, then it's a new RP concept that I'm currently working to make it become the norm just like every RP thing.
