I thought it was a chocolate chip

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.

Treat it like a game and advertise everywhere that allows game advertisements. See if you can get tags on places like dear_player: the old owner of TOD would post a lot on dear_mun and namedrop the DR. A game tag also lets any of your DR players mention it when they post on dear_mun.

Mention it on here every so often, or in response to a question ("are there any Xillia 2 players?" "I've seen a Ludger on talesdressingroom"). Plurk is also a powerful tool for word of mouth as well: the recent Role Call and Mingle Logs blew up on Plurk and gained a ton of attention.

Keep in mind that DRs are not games: you can provide a setting and moderation to prevent abuse, but you're not obligated to dispense events or storylines or whatever. You're providing the canvas, not the painting. As I mentioned above, regular memes might be the exception to the rule just because they're so prevalent, but encourage others to post them too. I also highly recommend a sister OOC comm for introductions and general chat.

Cool, I can handle that. I don't post at dear_mun or dear_player or anything like that unfortunately, but maybe people who do could advertise instead.

I was interested in modding a DR precisely because not a lot of work is required for it haha. I'll be happy to keep an eye out and make sure it's running smoothly. As for memes, I'm thinking a 'one per month' thing could be good. Or at least some kind of mingle post per month, to stir up activity and new players. OOC comm's good to go too.
