Last year I scratched an itch and created an entire RPG - designed the premise, wrote the rules, built out a forum, scrungled over code and customizations, and ... didn't open it. 😄 I showed it to a couple friends, but the point was, it was just fun to make something. The actual RPG I run now, I made with a team of people after the site we were writers on went down. We wanted to keep writing with each other.

I roleplay on my work laptop because I am a terrible employee, so too many gifs = extremely suspicious. For this reason I will avoid sites with an abundance of gifs (or images, period).

Find and add a couple more players. We've got six and it's a little thin. I don't think I could deal with more than 10, but a few more would be good. Get everyone involved in the main plot so they feel that they're an important part of it. We started an invasion of Earth storyline and hadn't really had a plot that spanned the whole game before. I think that'll help. Do more chatting with other people in the community. I've already started on sites like this and on reddit and it's going well. Mostly everyone is very friendly. Maybe start a social media account for the game, like X (Twitter) where I can post a "post of the week" or something.

I hope you find them! ❤️

Heya, just shouting into the ether here on the off chance that I manage to find an old RP partner of mine again. Miscanthus and I met on Oasis in 2019, my username was Wilderness and we were both in the nature faction on the forum. Very into nature, plants, gardening, grain meats, fantasy and worldbuilding. Just dearly, dearly, dearly hoping to find him again.

That the site will die with me. I have had a fairly long tenure on MRO, going on 7 years. It is a long running site having started back in 2005. I want to be able to pass it on to a crop of younger RPers and have it grow and evolve.

Spanish! I started my RP career in Spanish forums since it's my native tongue, but overtime I transitioned towards exclusively RPing English. It has helped a lot with the language over the years, but I really miss writing in Spanish. I also would love to try to RP in French? My French is only conversational atm, though, so it would be a bit tricky 😅

Man, this takes me back... I started RPing on the Neopets roleplay forums way back when I was teeny tiny, so it was more like the genre depended on the thread. I vaguely remember lots of vampire stuff (Twilight had just released, back in those days), lots of wolf RP (I really loved Wolf's Rain), and some fandom stuff here and there. The first site I was staff of (and later on Admin) was a very old Harry Potter site, the kind that started on InvisionFree.

When I go into a site and staff show interest in your plot idea, but get upset when their friend cannot have the character you reseved. Then bully you using their characters. Like seriously guys... I am glad you're closed because you cannot bully your guests now.

Oh man, there have been some many over the last fifteen years! I mean, I am 35 years old and still make Admin mistakes but I hope my members can give me grace. Allowing bad people back onto my sites Allowing manipulators manipulate me into letting them do something I'm uncomfortable with Not allowing my site time to thrieve because other staff have said we need to do xyz to be active Catering to certain people who didn't deserve it Putting guests above my members... nobody is supposed to be above anyone!!! These are just a few!

We build our current site because we were on another were I had Ronald Weasley, and Neville Longbottom and him just clicked so freaking well! They ended up dating... When we left that site due to bullying, we found ourselves just wanting as ite where we could play them but also a nice relaxin place where it was not always end-of-times plots at every turn. Cosy is how we explain our site!

Honestly, I am keeping it to... I want to maintain a site for six months. Everything past that will be a bonus! ❤️

When it comes to thinks I sweat about... there is a laundry list! Making a site for it to never take off Making a site, having some activity and it dying Being told I am plagiarising when I'm definitely not Not advertising right Advertising and all my links being broken... Much more... I have anxiety disorder! LOL

My first RPG was actually the first every Harry Potter roleplay site! I was twelve at the time telling them I was 16 years old. I should not have been reading the things I was! LOL

Other than being scared of being the one to "lose the farm", it's stressing about the possibility of getting yelled at by rp directory/advertising mods for posting ads wrong. I seriously sweat over this.

My character names tend to have something in there that is a nod or a joke. My current cast of characters are: -Michael "Ranger" Hunter (Ranger and Hunter are vaguely related. Not the best connection) -William Maxwell "Ion" Faraday (electric powers and named after William Whewell, James Clark Maxwell, and Michael Faraday. All old school playerss in the electricty game) -Rhiannon Dee Curtis (Body swap powers so her middle name and last name reference the cast of 2003's Freaky Friday) I also once had a character named Roger "White Noise" Smith. His powers were radio broadcasting. His birthday was 10-4 and he came from Williamson County, Texas which is also known as WilCo.

I am honestly a bit naive about this, and tend to have good faith in everyone until a site has already exploded (or imploded, as the case may be), but I'm definitely taking lots of notes from this thread on things to avoid, both in attempting to run a site myself and when scouting somewhere to join.

Spanish. It's my native language but I've always done sites in English because it's... easier somehow? I find written Spanish to be very pretty, but considering that different Spanish-speaking places use different words than what I'm used to it's a little intimidating. Also, the fact that I might have to switch from using "Dialogue" as dialogue to — Dialogue, is kind of jarring to me, even though a lot of our books use an em dash for dialogue.

Only 1!
