rpanons | oh to be a beautiful widow taking a rest against my fainting couch

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 post personal information. This includes but is not limited to full names, addresses, phone numbers and so on.
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.

honestly all I've learned from hanging out here is that some people will never be pleased and literally only want a reason to complain, so why bother

I think this is very valuable life advice in general

i mean wondering why something inefficient started as part of a discussion abt the meme economy isn't really complaining

toplvl doesn't keep me up at night by virtue of existing, it just feels like an extra step someone took somewhere that we didn't really need and maybe the 'bakerstreet is deaaaaaaad' rhetoric would be improved slightly if what is housed there had actually been started and maintained on bs to begin with

anyone who invests any time and thought in the "meme economy" is doomed to be disappointed because it doesn't exist

they crosspost memes to bakerstreet every time they're posted idk how hard it is to click on a link and play under a slightly different url, this feels like just an excuse to continue feeling miserable instead of actually rping

i outlined one of the downsides to having things off comm

again, i'm not personally offended by things being crossposted and i use toplvl myself plenty. that doesn't change the question of did we actually need this or could it have been done on bakerstreet, or can it still be done on bakerstreet for the sake of convenience?

it's a discussion, my dude

are you the mod of toplvl? because otherwise, i can't see why you wouldn't see how people who normally scroll on bs might not trip over to another meme comm just to check the numbers/activity of a meme that was crossposted unless they've really got a boner for that meme. someone else mentioned that it is easier to see meme activity on bs just by scrolling and the number of comments. not so easy to check without actually going to the meme, and sometimes people don't want to be bothered. it's not a bad thing, per se, but it is a valid reason why people might complain about a higher frequency of crossposting.

nah, just commenting on the way anons treat suggestions/complaints/actual people investing time in fixing things for them around here

it's not just bakerstreet, there have been multiple games that started up because anons said they wanted them and talked up how much they'd love something like that... and then nobody showed up to app

it's frustrating to watch people in this hobby take each other for granted and bitch and complain when someone actually does the work, that's just a thing that sucks no matter where or how it happens

it's frustrating, i'll give you that, but there are usually several reasons as to why nobody shows up or nobody apps

you can see some of them listed above re: toplvl

yeah there are always reasons. ime people will always take the easiest, laziest option when it's available to them. having one meme comm with blank top levels is that option and it seems to work fine for 90% of the people who post there, which is why I don't think it will ever be "fixed" no matter how many times we have this conversation

it doesn't even necessarily have anything to do with laziness. for me it's a "i like to tailor my starters to the person/character who tagged instead of writing a generic toplevel," especially if it's a meme that has multiple very different prompt options. if bob tags in and bob really wants to play prompt 3, then we can do prompt three. if sally tags in and sally wants prompt 7, then we can do prompt 7.
