Hey everyone.
I'm wondering why activity in the RP section is so low. Is it because of real life? Is it because of a lack of enthusiasm for current threads? Is it some other reason I'm overlooking?
Please let us know.
If it's a simple lack of interest in the current threads, that can be corrected by creating ones more suited to individuals. If it's real life, well, there isn't much I can do but offer sympathy. If it's something else, tell us, and we'll do our best to get it rolling again.

I'm personally working on a few projects, including the newer BH3(imagine this forum as BH2). As far as roleplaying activity goes, I'll join in - but only once I know the future direction of this forum, and can advertise it accordingly.

Since both of my RPs on here died (one was my fault) I've been getting my daily supply of roleplay from Crimson Asgard. So in order to help resurrect the roleplay are, I challenge someone to a duel! Anyone who thinks they have a character who can beat a captain designed by me PM me and I will make the topic. You will be dueling my Sixth Squad Captain character whom I've only shown to the staff so far, so be ready for a surprise.

OFF TOPIC ALERT.
Mattokenzi, here's the deal: The staff would love to promote him - but there aren't enough members here to justify the actions. If he were to be promoted then I'd say 11th Squad would be his rightful home ^^
If members would, y'know, answer the thread about us moving to the new site, then I'll know which one to promote properly and then we can think about resurrecting BH. We get more activity, the staff promote Peishin. I know for a fact the staff are behind the move, but we need to know if the members are too. I think we should make a deadline for objections... I REALLY want to get BH working again, like it was before I left!

hmmm starting to feel like I'm not the only one sitting in this seat MoD gave me Pretty much Echoing MoD here really. Matto we knew Louh was Staff material before you even showed up on the board. I'm sure he'll feel good for the vote of confidence, but till BH is thricing again 5 staff is plenty (maybe even too much). I'm sure it's in the rules somewhere Don't ask to become Staff... well asking for others to become staff is kinda under that too! We'll promote those who deserve it when we have need for it ^^ kthxbai! Lunar... your threads can and WILL be ressurected, once the members taking part become active again. As soon as I sort out donato's Zanpakuto we can finish off T.H.E. between us (i.e. whoever is still active) Don't stress they ain't dead just on pause ^.^ (like when Anime goes into filler... we just needed a break)

^.^' I thankee matto, but the guys are right. Too many chefs, ye ken, spoil the haggis.
Ahem. I have several suggestions for keeping RPs more active. Hope you all don't mind me prattling on about them here. If anybody else has any ideas, please post them too.
Smaller participant groups. I've noticed (not only on this forum) that large RPs tend to get stuck when one person neglects to post. Smaller groups might be easier to keep going, esp. if the group all agrees on a 2-day post timer (for example).
A central thread with branches, for example Not The Toast King and my Turn Back The Pendulum. If someone else wanted to do their own story in this timeline they could, putting the subject as TBTP: (whatever your RP is called). This is me trying to compromise with my previous suggestion: having a massive RP but splitting it into smaller groups.
Pick-up-and-play characters. This might help first time RPers to get started, or folk feeling too lazy/being too busy to make their own profile. Some RPs with a specific squad/group in mind (e.g. Assault on Kiyomizudera) could come with a half dozen ready-made profiles, as not everyone has a 12th squad 18th seat character.
Character templates, e.g. a mostly-developed Shinigami (with modifiable zanpakuto, name, appearance etc) might relieve some of Not The Toast King's stress when reviewing profiles, as it could help to iron out some of the wilder inaccuracies (which I myself was guilty of at first).
Like I said, include any of your ideas here also.
