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. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
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.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

No, ATP is dying out because it's dying out. I used to really enjoy that time of the month and looking forward to seeing what new games might crop up, what people were looking for games to play in and psl potentials. Now it's a wasteland. Barely any games post to it and barely anyone is tossing in their own chars looking for games. It's advice like 'post to ATP' that can kill an upcoming game because ATP is just not the advertising mecca it used to be. Sure, go ahead, post to it. Just don't expect many people to see it. More people go here and spread around game info from here than they do ATP.

Sorry, anon, but ATP's going the way of the dodo. Even the new mods of it know it.

I didn't say that should be the only place to post, or are you implying that a game will die because it's advertised on ATP?

No, but saying that 'this sort of advice is why comms die' is wrong since the comm has been slowly dying for the last year. It's effectively dead already, so it's not really a proper venue to use for advertising, which is what a new game wants/needs. Go ahead and post to it, but it's not going to do you much good, which makes it not viable advice in terms of where to go to get new blood for a new game.
