Hmnn... you know I think this forum has a lot of potential to be an awesome RPG but... there isn't a lot of activity here. Potentially this could cause the forum to die. I've been an admin/mod on many other forums so if you don't mind I'd like to share my insight.
Although the purpose of this forum is to maintain an RPG I think there should be an "off topic" section to the forum. The reason I say this is because by creating such a section the community will be able to prosper under conditions that are not dependent of the RPG. (Forums are a community-based infrastructure -- if the community fails so does the RPG.) The off-topic section should have forums dedicated to shared interests of members and perhaps a "spam" forum for silly topics. In the past I've noticed that a spam forum can actually save a forum from certain doom and destruction. In other words I'm suggesting to expand upon the "General" forum, the "Game" forum, and the "Sharing forum" then put them in there own section at the bottom of the page. I say the bottom as the RPG should be the star of the site. ;D Ideally this section should be dedicated to forming friendships and forum intimacy. And bonus! If there is a lively community of well-connected members the website will look more appealing to prospective members and RPGers.

Thanks! Okay here's another suggestion... I think posting should be limited to members and not guests. One reason is because the person will have to make a commitment to the RPG. We certainly don't want characters to flake out on us! Also it keeps the "Links" forum under control. I foresee over time that guests will use that forum to dump advertisements without even considering to contribute to the community.

Oh it's no problem, i was merely stating i thought it was a good suggestion.. I also think that your lastest suggestion is a good one too. And have one of my own for you... Have you thought about creating your own site like this one? Obviously not the same however similar so that an rpg could actually take place?
