[D] Haa. Haa. Haa.

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.


Temporary Change: To reduce the strain on Dreamwidth's servers new entries will go up when a post reaches 3,000. Please refrain from spamming so we can stretch these entries for a little longer. We don't need several threads soliciting photo evidence of body parts, and we already know that we only care about yaoi. Failure to comply will only result in deletions and butthurt. "People may notice site slowdown/cache error pages. We're working on fixing. You can help: finish posts at 3k comments, not 5k or more." - Dreamwidth@Twitter

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.


Concerns?


Navigate:

Hey! Do not post anything outside of these threads. It will be deleted.
Go be cute and fun and fun and funny over here.

It may help to follow the suggestion one anon a few posts back had to have a thread log. That way you can see for yourself how much you are getting involved in a nice way that makes it more blatant. That also can help others see where you are so they don't miss your activity and think you are inactive because of that. One drawback to journal based is that it can be hard to find everything.

Otherwise, if you think you aren't being active enough, then do something about it and go start a new thread. Maybe even try to branch out and play with someone you've never played with before. Could be a great start to some awesome new CR.

And if after doing this for a time you still feel that way, then definitely consider taking a break at the very least. Sometimes a couple of weeks break can refresh your drive or let you see maybe things are just not working any longer.

Just chiming in on the thread log thing as there are many ways to go about it! Let me give you some examples I see people doing in Luceti. These are unbelievably useful for both the player themselves and for activity checks. I couldn't recommend making one enough.

You can make an entry and dump all your links into the entry under a cut. Some people do fancy html tables, others just post the links with the date. I've even seen people do comment threads like "January" and then each comment would be a thread they tagged in January. It can be time consuming and it takes effort to update. I just add a new link the moment I tag the thread so that I don't forget about it.

Memories. This feature just isn't used enough. Click the add to memories button, shove it in a folder or leave as is and it will date everything for you! The only problem with it is that if a thread gets deleted it'll delete your memory too IIRC?

Yep, doesn't matter how you do it, what matters is being able to see and quantify your activity for yourself really. I have a list of links myself with just a description of whether it is a post or thread and who it is with.
