Yer wonderful

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.

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.

I agree there should be more of them for people that like that sort of style, but I personally would never play in one.

I like to keep my character journal as tidy and neat as possible and restrict posts to information relevant to that character and my playing, not a crap load of threads that probably never get finished and a friends page that could potentially get flooded. I prefer having one/two comms to go to to check to see who's posted and if anything has any relevance to my character. The potential to just scroll and scroll if I had pages of journal posts would just bee to great for me.

but checking pages of comm posts is exactly the same as checking pages of journal posts...?

Only not really? If I check the comms of the games I'm in, I usually only have to go back a page depending on the level of activity in the game. With journal posts, if I check my friends page, not only do I have every player that happens to be on my friends list, but I have all the other journals I might have friended just so we can keep tabs on our character developments and whatever dr comms or meme comms I might be in.

That's a lot of scrolling and parsing to figure out who posted what where. But again, it's merely my preference to check comms for posts my character might want to tag, just as I'm sure there are people out there who'd prefer to play in a journal game. I don't think there's really anything wrong with either version, but I have a personal preference for one over the other.

you do realize that you can join things like drs and meme comms and not have all of the posts show up on your friends page, right?
