Gonna Keep this Brief, but...

20th Sep 2019 22:48 With all that's happened in my absence, RP-ing has suddenly become more difficult here. And not only in the sense that I can't find anything interesting or mine don't catch or anything...
...
...Honestly, I'm gonna be real blunt here, but it's the new Edit gimmick. The 10 minute limit.
It's probably fair in plenty of other environments, but NOT AT ALL ideal for RPs. And while I understand thoroughly that RPs are NOT a main priority of a virtual pet site, it's honestly just salt in the wound...
From the lack of forewarning over old thread removals (didn't get the chance to copy some of my favorite ones to notepad files, back in "ye-olde 2012" when they were wiped without prior notice), all the way to how mundane and outright DEAD things got for me, and NOW THIS... I think it's safe to say you may not see me lurking the RP Forum as often anymore, at bare minimum.
It's an honest shame, really. This very website was what started me off on and introduced me fully to RP. Back in c. 2005-2006. And the RP spirit has never truly left me even NOW! I'm STILL itching for a roleplay....
...And yet, if I find myself in a situation where I only realize a fatal continuity-breaking mistake later, have my character unintentionally/uncharacteristically miscommunicate at an inopportune moment, or notice one-such mistake straight away but have to be pulled away to some half-day long chore... That's it! I can't do any favors for those who get confused or upset by any mere errors on my part, simply because the RP forum clearly states that NO DOUBLE POSTING IS ALLOWED. And I know of no grand exceptions to this rule --not within ANY roleplay forum category.
So... until there's some kind of solution or work-around...
I may not be all that active in general, and that's pretty breaking considering how strong my sentiments are to here, and all it has done over the years.

(Needless to say, the site's received plenty of neat, fresh upgrades for the better... But while I'm thankful for the rest, this one here just ISN'T one of them. )
