I feel as though there's some major misunderstanding going on in this thread, especially since many of the role-players outlining their concerns at how frigid certain elements of the community can be are far from new or unaware at how to effectively find role-play.
Even when it comes to role-players who are genuinely new it's not always their fault when they give up after repeated failed attempts to find what they're looking for.
Experiences can differ significantly too so the people with a healthy pool of contacts to draw from across the board or who are repeatedly praised and fawned over in 'ur charz crushes' type threads aren't likely to understand how difficult it is for people to break into the community that exists outside of one's Free Company.
