I am starting to think the abundance of Events (even those not on forums) could be the reason for said lack of RP.
I have three active RP characters that are involved with three different RP circles myself (with one group strangely connected by an event I have yet to join )
And for new people it may not be that they can't find RP because others are currently RPing their own plots, their company story, or too busy running the company events.
Honestly it does feel oversaturated to the point that I stopped going to the grindstone purely because of how MASSIVE it's gotten in recent years. I truly missed the old average of like 40 or 30 people.
So I think the idea of "no one can find RP because there is too much" is a thing as well. Some people are looking for certain kinds of RP and it pains me to turn down people when a position is filled...
