I may be getting the wrong end of the stick here but it seems like posters like Kellach are implying that they are putting effort into seeking out role-play only to meet no success at all on numerous separate occasions.
We can't know about this, we can only assume with their answer and even there it's clear that we don't know everything. The best we can do is to actually try to answer to them and to be relevant to the topic title by giving some advices.
Kellach answered to a part of the advices I confusedly gave before and the part he picked is the most passive one, I cannot know what else he did so I can only answer to what he wrote (and thus, to talk about the part of the advices he didn't talk about).
I do agree that being new not easy and all, that there are some clique and that to break into the community isn't a simple thing to do. But there are some people who manage to do it and some others who don't. The main point of the topic is to understand why and to give some "how to" accordingly. Following this idea, many people gave some advices which are now.. Melted among the colossal amount of "around the topic" and "I answer to something someone said" messages.
Also. What I'll say will probably hurt. But stating that "it's the community fault, it's hard to break through it" and thus stating that you, yourself, did everything you could isn't the best way to solve the problem. Keep in mind that you cannot change the others, only yourself so if something doesn't work, you need to find another way to make it work. I know it's unfair, but it's how it is everywhere ^^" .
