[M] Just as planned

[rpanonmod]

Rundown: 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?

Hey! This is the designated catch-all entry. This is not an invitation to spam to your heart's content. The same rules apply.

why are dressing rooms and memes dying

Due to over-saturation, anon.

The enormous influx of memes in rapid succession took away the excitement and specialness of them. The constant repeating of scenarios left people without a desire to replay them even with new people and drained the originality from people.

In an attempt to combat this, many meme makers stepped up their game to make joining into memes require more effort and thus encourage more original thought. The downside is that the idea of a meme as a quick and simple way to play was lost.

On top of this, the structured status of meme communities lead to a game like mentality where the no obligations style of play in which you could do what you liked and drop threads as you wished was looked down on.

As for dressing rooms, they suffered as people began to move away from them in favour of memes, due to the easier access and the fact they required less work to participate in. Then the above issues dried up the meme waters but the life did not flow back into dressing rooms and instead evaporated. Only the very largest with the most solid playerbases continue to operate.

In short bakerstreet and memebells, or to be accurate their participants, killed them both.

I wish you were a professor so you had to publish things like that.
