I know the reason why more and more people have been abandoning this site and DVM's site. I know why Deco refuses to return here, and why I've finally given up:
THE IS NO FORWARD PROGRESSION! No big story that drives anything or catches anyones interests. And the PRPs are like a disease. I really hope that we could get the big story rolling that would have been a breath of life, but to few had any faith in it. And I would have tried it on DVM's site, but he want's to limit what the characters Deco and Makoa are. So now both sites will just fester in meaningless PRPs, no plot, and stagnation. This is my feedback: find some sort of plot, some MEANING for everthing. Give me a reason to post here. Stop focusing so intently on PRP. That should only be a side interaction between characters from the main RPs that drive a site. I'm not saying any of this to anger people, I'm just trying to shead some light.

well DVM says a group of people have been making a rp but he told me that around christmas. He said they were taking a while and is suggested several rp ideas but he thinks we should wait or something. I cant remember exactly what he said.

We tried putting new things to attract the rpers but sadly they lost interest after a few days of posting and well..stopped thats why you see the Main boards are abandoned,even if I locked up the prp board and force them to RP in the main one trouble always comes up out of no where to the point DVM has the punish. Im fed up with this site too,the lack of activity,the trouble makers,(The name personally).Though I cant do anything about it just wait till school ends and come up with new ideas. I'm stuck like glue.Anyway its school can be the cause to the lack of updates to the site.

Here's an idea.
Stop complaining about a lack of plot and make one. Seriously, if you find that there isn't enough plot line or story movement all you have to do is make one, no one's stopping you.
Quite frankly I hate it when people complain about something without actually doing anything to try to fix it. I can't make people stop RPing in a board just simply because you would rather RP on a different board. Create a RP and story that captures people's attention. It is not the staff's responsibility to create stories and plots, it's the responsibility of the membership. That's how a Role-playing community works, everyone pitches in to create and move a plot, the staff is only here to make sure things run smoothly and accurately.
As for limiting characters, did you every try just talking to me about it? No you did not. If you have a concern or question about limitations all you have to do is send me a PM and I'll respond. I've talked to Deco about this before and I've given him some leeway on the limitation because I know that he won't take it too far, but the last time we talked about it he didn't feel like doing it because he felt that it'd make his character too powerful for the other characters, that was his own personal call.

Hey you guys know the plot in Zrion and Eivan? That could be a great plot for a new main Rp. If it was tweaked a bit. What do you think?

Well it would work. It provides new goals, a new enemy, an opportunity for new powers to better combat the new enemy, and a new plot altogether. It would be a new start. It would create a new environment too, since cities would be destroyed by that enemy, including the major ones.

Ya know what, DVM? It IS the responsibility of the admin to come up with new ideas for THEIR site. And I DID try coming up with a new story for the main RP. No one but Pink was interested. And I might still try and do it. Also Deco told me a different story. Now that isn't why I haven't posted Makoa yet. My work computer won't let me on you site, and I can't afford the keyboard for my PS3 now that I've got a kid on the way and I'm saving money.
Look, surely some members are capable of coming up with great ideas for RPs but letting anyone and everyone do as they please creates chaos.
I have decided that yes, I AM going to start a new main RP.

The Admins don't make the site what it is, the members do. The Admins create the site and make sure that it runs smoothly, but without the members the site is nothing. If the members don't come up with new ideas for RPs the site goes no where. It is not the Admin's job to make RP after RP to keep people entertained. The point of the community is for people to come together and create their own ideas and to inspire one another, this is what keeps people entertained, not the Admins. There is no point in the community if the Admins do all the work to keep people together.
If no one is interested there's nothing that I or anyone else can do about it, I can not force people to RP. If an idea gets shot down then just come up with a new one or request others to come up with a new one. A simple request for people to try to come up with new story lines and plots is all this thread needed, not a bashing of the site and its members.
abc, the RP that they were making is no longer an option. They quit working on it and so far it sounds like they don't plan to bring it back.
