| Stop putting Bios, OOC threads, interest checks, and group related stuff here. Nobody likes it, it blocks everything else. These things are ok, but I feel there is too much. |

Interest checks are just RPs in the womb
Sure they aren't ACTUAL RPs to join, but they are potential new ones |

Also ironic because this thread is more useless than anything you've listed
Not to be mean, I'm just saying |

Pickachu,
For every thread I make 20 other ones that are useless are made. Also, I said they were ok, just make the freaking RP instead of being lazy and seeing who would like it. |

| Birm, a year ago we didn't have interest checks and it was fine because more people were compelled to participate in an RP that's already there. |

| Incase you haven't noticed, this isn't a year ago. We have interest checks now to ensure that you don't end up making a roleplay and getting no joiners at all. |

| I disagree, I think people are spending too much time trying to find out if people want to do it rather than working on it. People will join it more if its all right there. |

| And if no one joins? Someone spent time out of their life making a roleplay that no ones interested in. And I don't see how a roleplay without an interest check gets anymore joiners than one with an interest check. And it literally takes no more than 5 minutes to make an interest check, and could take several days, maybe even a few weeks, to make a roleplay, depending on the size of the roleplay, the genre, and the amount of people working on it. |

| Birm, nobody would join the RP if nobody joined the interest check. Also, a good RP will attract people, if well made. |

| I do an interest check when an idea has some uncertainty behind it. The amount of time saved by doing a general interest check before spending more than several hours on producing the actual content is probably the best quality of interest checks. It's the same as a company checking to see if there's actually a market for a product before deciding to begin production or distribution in that area. |

| ..That's why you post interest checks. If no one says they like the idea on the interest check, then you're not going to make a roleplay. I'm having a bit of difficulty understanding your logic here. |

It doesn't take that long to make an RP. And if it is that long, that it's not worth making it because it will often die soon.
Also, these are OK things, I'm just saying there are way to much. The ratio of ooc threads and interest checks to actual RPs is like 10 - 5. |

| So long we have RPs I see no reason why we should care if there are interest checks/OOCS. |

"It doesn't take that long to make an RP. And if it is that long, that it's not worth making it because it will often die soon."
That's an oversimplification of how RP production works. |

| "Chasing the Rabbit" consisted of around 3,400 words and took a few hours, on-and-off to produce, there are no plans for the actual course of the RP but just setting an appropriate framework for a more lifelike world is time-consuming. |

| Alpha, that is long, but I'm talking about if it's too long to be enjoyable. |

Bios and group related stuff are completely unnecessary but unfortunately we can do nothing to stop people posting them. There will always be someone ignorant or someone who just doesn't know the rules that will post them and really we can't stop that.
OOC threads and interest checks on the other hand are useful for many purposes and believe or not some people actually enjoy OOC threads and in a way they have become fundamental for community interaction. Everyone else seems to have explained the usefulness of interest checks. |
