I recently picked up some activity on Bakerstreet and the bizarre way the meme RPing seems to be happening is least to say baffling. Every day there's at least a couple of memes, they seem to expire really quickly. No new replies after a couple of days. Everyone posts a top level but very few tag into them. How do you even hope to attract the attention of the players outside of people who watch this comm daily when the memes move on so quickly? You'll have to be posting into everything daily or you're buried in the dust of time.

It must be a nightmare for anyone who just happens to want some RP fun randomly and comes looking for something out of the blue.

Also, it seems like a lot of bother to post a new meme, mostly from what I see, for the benefit of only a couple of threads. Because around 90% of the replies in a meme are top levels and sometimes a rare tag-in.

And before someone points it out, I do know that I need to be proactive myself to get threads and I have been. I don't really have a problem with finding stuff to RP. Even when I played in games I did the legwork of tagging into other people's posts and toplevels rather than posting my own.

All this just seems so strange to me. I'm not trying to point any fingers here, just genuinely confused as to how is this supposed to work?
