i think this change will be a vast improvement like i said in the planning section!

Honestly, I have somewhat mixed feelings. I do like the new system in that it doesn't judge people based on RP ability and sort them. The downside to that is that now you have very advanced RPs which are getting long posts on a one, two, even three day basis that will remain consistently buried under RP's that have shorter posts and 1 liners that can cover entire pages in a day. I guess we'll just have to see how it pans out. I'm glad we're giving it a shot, at any rate. ^^

This has the Kevin stamp of approval. The one issue I can foresee RIGHT NOW is what Az already touched on, but that might not end up being a problem at all, especially because each RPer probably will know where to find their RP, so it's not like there's so many RPs out there that they'll get lost. I think. We'll see how it goes!

I like the way you color-coded things too. Clever!

Do I get the Kevin stamp of approval for moving the OT Role Playing forums into the Off-Topic Creations category? Because that just happened.

Thanks guys, I'm glad everyone is happy with it so far.

About the issue that you guys are describing, we don't even have enough open RPs in the public RP forum to fill the first page. Each page can hold 35 topics, and unless we get 36 RPs that are updated at least once per day, it won't be a problem. If active RPs are being shoved to page 2... then we have to start worrying but for now I think the current layout has lots of room for growth. :3

This is really neat. For a moment I was wondering what happened to the beginner intermediate and advanced sections.

YOU ARE KILLING ME, SMALLS.

IN A GOOD WAY.

nice ^^ Only thing: Old RPs will still exist right? just be sinking to the bottom. And nothing's being deleted?

[DGFone]

I like the idea. But I am no so sure about removing the archived RPs. For me, the archive section held the RPs that will never be updated (members left or the RP locked up), but it was a reliable section to go to if I wanted to read an RP that won't change if I refresh the page a few days later.

[Moka]

Mike - Nothing was deleted, and we would never delete our RP history ^^

DGFone - Well the "Archive" still exists. The topics won't change their order no matter how far back they get pushed. It'd be the same as the archive because we'd add RPs to the archive and the archive topics would get pushed back exactly like the RP topics will with the new system.
