So we have all had our preferences, and we've all had experiences, some good and some bad.
I've joined chat RPs that were just shoddy and irritating, and I've joined forums where I couldn't find anything, and just didn't click with the people. I'm sure it's happened to the best of us on both regards. Pros and cons stack up for and against both sides of this argument, but what is your opinion?
Do you prefer forum RP? Why is that?
Do you prefer chat RP? Why is that?
Do you believe there can be a happy balance of both? A chat based RP that includes a forum option, or the other way around?
Have any other things you'd like to add yourself?
