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.

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.

I think this day in age of journal RP it is something to get used to again.

But for a game like this I think it works. It's a lot less overwhelming and for a small scale event like the holiday party early in the game there was a catch all, so it isn't as though this game won't ever have catch all logs.

you are right! it is something to get used to again and might not be a bad idea to do so. i suppose i never realized that they were overwhelming for most people? i generally looked at catch-all's as a place where i could read everything and choose from a large list of people playing, but it's hitting me now that that is very meme style.

i hate game-wide catch-all logs with a passion. i like to be able to find my threads easily when i want to go back and read them. i also want to be able to load the page without a problem. in some of the larger games, there are so many comments the page takes forever to load and the formatting is all screwed up because the threads extend too far to the right. plus echoing all the things the other anons said: the rush to get on the first page, getting overlooked because there are a million other people and after a while even people looking to tag in randomly get overwhelmed, the unwieldiness.

years ago, catch-alls weren't a thing. people used to actually make logs of their own volition and those logs used to get a lot of comments. now players expect the mods to do all the work setting everything up and make little "my character is going x, y, and z here. come bug them" non-starters that pass the buck to anyone who wants to tag them. it's annoying. i'm glad there's a game that's willing to buck the trend and do away with them for events.
