Unpopular opinion: I prefer writing in first, not third. Third feels clunky to me.

Being an Admin is way more fun when members don't expect to have staff guiding/approving/forging their every plot move.

 I'm not a fan of fandom rpgs or anything based on established franchises. Sure it would be cool to make your own harry potter oc or dc superhero but the concept isn't to my liking.

Character POV “rp” in the cbox isn’t cute. It’s fecking annoying as hell.

Sometimes I don't want to make a new friend. I just want a compatible writing partner.

I like light themes/skins on most sites more than dark ones. I don't know what's wrong with me.

I'm sick of members who won't read things or expect to be coddled. Constantly.

As an admin, I don't mind members that ask a lot of questions or need a bit of hand-holding, as long as they've done the mandatory reading (rules, plot, species info).

I hate hovers where important information is. Updates, season information, etc.... please stop hiding it so I stop looking like a ding dong for asking where it is.

Ditching is 100% okay. Sure, sometimes it sucks, but it's a hobby, people have to stop being so dramatic when their partner politely informs them they're not doing the rp anymore. Get upset for a while and move on - at least they let you know so you can plan accordingly and not get stuck in a limbo where you wonder whether or not they'll ever reply.

Compared to any other hobby I've ever engaged in, I've slowly come to the conclusion that as an over arching group role players are some of the most toxic people to associate with. Even browsing through resource boards, the majority of topics are negative in tone - someone always whining, bitching or moaning about something they don't like. They outnumber positive threads about ten to one.

 

In the couple of years I've been involved on this site alone I've watched formerly decent/good people turn into complete and utter shit heads in their behavior and cliquey BS, turning uppity and beginning to bully others even as these same people will rail against bully behavior. I've seen their behavior slowly stomp out the passion in others who have poured themselves into creating something to share and bring joy to their peers, and they do it with an astonishing sense of arrogance in a perfect example of people who think their own shit don't stink. I have even caught the hobby bringing out the worst in me recently. Its like a cancer - by the time symptoms are actively manifesting you're already fucked. 

 

There are a lot of great people to be met, but the rampant shit headery, assholery and stupidity are slowly drowning out the positive aspects of the culture and its really no damn wonder at all that so many formerly large and successful resource hubs have shut down recently.

I can't stand complicated layouts.  I've seen some really cool stuff done, but if I look at the page and am collectively overwhelmed at first glance, I just click away.  I've been put off by so many sites because their layout was trying to do waaaaay too much.

why are all the fonts so tiny?

 

Are these posts...for ants?
