Though I have read through most of the replies or at least quickly did on some of the longer ones (I do apologize for not a heavy reading through some), and I began to get a little lost of what exactly happened to the thread itself. This being said I'm probably going to go ahead and step away as well. I feel I've said what I had to and that's that.Â
I will say though, I was not personally posting in this thread to -search- for RP or to even address that. As I said some posts back, I literally don't have the time to do heavy searching for rp or making a lot of connections. Partially that is my fault, but I do have a limited time I can give. I suppose I'm at fault to that extent; however I do have a full load of very heavy classes this semester that I'm trying to finish out- and I will continue to diminish until mid-may of what -I- personally can offer. It's just the life of a senior in an art school. That will change however once my semester is finished (or finals are done anyway).
My personal view however, was coming at this not from a lack-or-not-a-lack of RP but just an overall general tone of how things have gotten snarky/negative/etc on the forums in OOC discussions.
- Initial posts commenting on negativity
- Speculation as to why the negativity was happening
- Discussion of what the negativity entailed
- People feeling ignored, or that there was a sort of in/out crowd
- People feeling like there is a steep and sometimes insurmountable rp barrier of entry for new people.
- Followup discussion on the perception surrounding and of that rp barrier.
- Supposition that the Rep system could be part of the in/out crowd
- Followup discussion of the nature of forums and how reputation does or does not affect negativity
- General comments surrounding why there might be a perception of feeling ignored or overlooked
- Followup discussion on feelings about that, and feelings on whether or not that perception is legitimate
- People feeling like there is a steep and sometimes insurmountable rp barrier of entry for new people.
- Discussion of what the negativity entailed
(as I understand it) - Speculation as to why the negativity was happening
