I can't take it any more. I want 2006 back. Hell, I'd take 2007. Does anyone know msn/aim/anything about these guys that we can remind them of the forum. like anyone that was above 500 posts in 2006/2007. You guys might be happy with this slow posting(There are short bursts, but it is still slow), But I am getting bored with looking at the forum and seeing one green lightsaber. I like seeing many. So many you have to post fast. Exclamation

I've got a bunch if you want them.

I think there's just a general non-creative mood about the forum at the moment. Kudos to Dakoth for trying to bring his RP back, and I don't think we should classify any current RPs as dead, because I think there's just a creative slump, me included.

I mean, when this forum was created, and in the months afterwards, there was so much energy, it seemed like. I would go to bed and to school knowing that when i got home, there'd be something for me to do while bored(Which quickly into an addiction, probably for others as well. Laughing

)) I have so many memories of this place, good and bad, and now is the first time i can honestly say i have been bored. Up till my last post of 2007(September 29th), everything seemed normal. It seems like October/november things slowed. Crying or Very sad

Something strange happened and I can't explain it. Perhaps when Rive's final part of Without Sin starts it'll kick start things, but after the last part finished, and a new set of RPs - pioneered by Dakoth and myself - started up, as well as my new story and Rive's, it seemed like we were going INTO a period of activeness, not out of one.

With the Debates forum at least, there's interesting stuff happening, but I think the death of the Forum Wars signified the start of the lack of interest in RPing, and now its just caught up with the rest of the forum.

I don't want to be mean, but when Shadow split it off, the Forum Wars sort of lost what would have been cool. An Actually forum war between two factions. It would have been legendary. Might have made this site even more active. I still wish that the mends could be healed. But that probably won't happen. Crying or Very sad

You stated the problem directly in your first post up there:

"I would go to bed and to school knowing that when I got home, there'd be something for me to do while bored."

When the forum started the majority of the user base was in 6th-8th grade. Now the majority of the user base in High School. They're working harder, some have part time jobs, they're looking into colleges. Once you pass that stage you generally don't have the benefit of staying on the internet chatting at all hours of the night. So what happens is you get people coming on for 5-30 minutes a day, checking every thread, and then replying to the ones that interest them. So you still get conversation - it just generally can't be rapid fire because people don't all get on at the same time: we can't.

Except for Fridays and Saturdays sometimes. Hm...

Heh. It's only 5 more days. The intention is to send it out the night before Force Unleashed comes out so at least one person goes:

"Oh! Rebels/The Jedi Order, I remember that place! I wonder what they think of Force Unleashed? I just got it today!"
