Don't. That's it. Just don't interact with nonsense. Don't entertain it.

I'm old. I'm here to write, not do web design.

"oh this rp looks cool" "why do i have to squint to read posts and sheets?"

My big pet peeve with RPN culture is I have to squint to read sheets/posts a lot of the time which is why I haven't really joined a lot in my time here.

Everyone I know between 2001 and 2012 have all basically retired from the hobby. A handful I keep in touch with, but I do long for a "one last ride" message from them. It never comes, but life moves on as it does.

Everybody is problematic to some extent. I think acceptable toxicity comes down to such behaviors (such as downright reprehensible views) in a community comes down with commonality and how the community's moderators actively look to protect its userbase. There's no such thing as a "zero...

What is it to be "grown up"? Because I feel its more than "am contributing to society through fiscal responsibilities". I didn't start being emotionally or mentally mature until my mid-twenties. I was still doing erratic things and had no sense of the world around me. A lot of people I know...

I think the biggest thing barring compatibility with ideas, style, etc. is flexibility.

I've been all over the place. Most of the forums I grew up on are long gone and some aren't even on waybackmachine. Of those that are still around I've participated on Iwaku, Role-Play Adventures, Roleplayerguild, Animeleague, Gaiaonline, and a slew of others.

That's just networking. You find a group of people with similar tastes, who are compatible with your writing style, and you have fun. Pretty normal experience.

When I was younger it was always touch-and-go. I'd have a title, a vague concept, and a character for myself in mind. I'd make up the rest as I went. It was rarely sustainable and the most successful RPs ended up being reworked and rewritten in future attempts. Today, I run things similarly...

Or F List.

RPs should stick to one style of FC if you're using them. Actors should not be standing next to medieval fantasy art and anime art. A lack of consistency not only break immersion but also creates a clash of styles that just doesn't work.

That formatting is really cool. Awesome presentation.
