Especially if it's a bigger FC. There's only so much we can cram in the message of the day and being on a site means we can put a calender up for people to check for future events. Sadly you'll be a bit out of luck for a lot of places to join since this is a rather common requirement.
Also with Sastra on keeping an eye on this since it's something I might use
When it comes to joining a group...Hmmm. Not many things will make me shy away. A big thing might be favoritism towards a member or certain members, especially if its someone who is messing up and not answering for it.
It's a requirement that quite frankly, in my opinion needs to go away. I'm all for having to check the website for updates, events etc. Just don't want to have to sign up to apply We have an apply section on our FC but usually it's for those who can't catch us online so it's an easier place to go.
Same here. We're in a little bit of a special case because we're basically only a RP group, and we solely play villains. Our forums have information about plots in progress, and we keep them private so that folks outside of the group can't see what we're planning. Members who don't register aren't going to be able to see them. Likewise, we have a job board that requires it's own registration (mainly because it uses an external tool), where we keep track of a dozen or so concrete RP hooks at any time, so not registering for that means you can't use that tool.
In both of these cases, though, the sites are there as tools to help enable more RP, and they're not strictly required. At the same time, not registering for them does make it harder to find RP.
