I realize it offers little in the way of the arguments that have been put forth, but I just wanted to point out that, for the most part, the people who are posting here are the people who have been posting here for the past several months anyway. If we're trying to attract newcomers and old timers who went away to avoid the dramz, perhaps word needs to reach them in-game or along some other avenue. I don't know how many people are aware of this movement to try to revitalize the RPC, and of those who are I'm not sure that many feel particularly passionate about it. I've kept my thoughts to myself thus far because I really would like to see what someone else might have to say - not a regular but perhaps someone who may have found out about this movement/thread and came here to check it out.
I also think that longwinded debates such as this, while perhaps necessary at times, turn people off to wanting to participate. Given the wall of text that this thread has become (and yes I've read through all of it), anyone who "just wants to have fun" likely won't find much value to this - what I'm going to call minutia for lack of a better word.
For myself, I just want to RP. If the RPC can help foster communication and bring [some] people together, than I'm all for it. What I don't want is to become mired down reading stuff such as this which - at least in my opinion and in such I mean absolutely no disrespect to anyone here (most of you know that I like just about everyone anyway) - seems like little more than a massive timesink.
