Those are great points actually.  And having a forum where we can just hop in and out might give an interesting spin.

Shame you weren't around when I had a site.  The whole place was a stand alone world.  XP

[quote from natina] As for rping, there is some fun topics yes, but there is not a very big section for things.  It might be worth looking into making stand alone World threads or School threads.  I have been wishing for a site to have something like this since I was on yiffy and still never got it approved.  It might be looking into to.

For the above topic I will give a good description of what I am talking about.  Make a spot in the forum for the name of the rp, like Furry Within Highschool.  Have a sticky topic of rules for the School, what the time is, what type of characters are allowed, like modern day, earth biased furs.  Then you can have another sticky topics for Character Sign up's and profiles for this said world, staff and students.  As for topics they are all biased on the school, classes with teachers posting work and stuff, Dorm rooms for Furs to rp with each other or day to day things.  School events.  Things like this that give a good concept of what to expect out of the rp and limits to what will happen in the rp.[/end]

I have a school thread up. A Art school thread but a school none the less. For music dancing and just about anything. WE are looking to get more people interested and come up with a better name. I am going to make the intro thread once I get some other things down packed. But there is a school thread. You just have to look for it. IT should be in RP discussions right now, its still in 'talk mode' but if you go look at it maybe you can throw some ideas in there. IT may not be a highschool but it is a school. So check it out would ya XP we need some more ideas and some more players

[just thought I would throw that out there >.>]

I know there is some out there and they are fun but the problem I have always seen is when you try and get a good big world type rp going there is so much cross rping and different people doing different things that it gets confusing and people tend to start leaving.  I would love to see a spot for a type of rp like that where you could have multiple threads from the school with different stuff going on to help keep the cross rping from happening.  It just seems to be a good way to pull rping into the forums and keep people interested in the threads for a longer amount of time

Oooooh, you mean like threads within threads. No I totally know what you mean. Well, thats something to talk to Sthemio about most definitely. But I get what you mean, very much so.

[Natina]

Yesh yesh, whole new rp topics/section for just one place of rp...  so everything in that thread is just for the said type of rp

Well this is easy to do. When you start up a thread, and someone wishes to break it off in another direction. Then you give a quick talk to the people in the thread about what your going to do, and either make a separate (and private) thread about it.

The created threads should be in the respective boards for the topic they are on.

You could do that, it's true but it loses the feel for it.

I have seen that too but it does take away a little since you would have to hunt down the other threads around the other boards and it would take time.  Putting things into a condensed form like this would draw more attention to it as a whole and if the rp takes off with many stories, many ideas, and many people it will draw more people in to be a part of the larger rp.  And with many smaller rps going on in the bigger rp it does not scare people away from joining and messing up the flow of the people already in the rp.

An easier solution would be to ask me to create designated roleplay scenario boards, which I think was mentioned earlier in the conversation. It's quite easy to do. This would allow it to be one set location with fixed environments and rules, but allow for multiple stories without the need to post in the same thread.

A lot of times, it seems that RPs don't get off the ground because it's difficult to come up with a particular setting while remaining creative. This way, many anxious RPers can simply join a pre-created world, which I know you'll have AT LEAST A FEW TAKERS
