I have no beef with the subject and I debated whether I should respond to this. The whole subject about forum rp being dead appears to get brought up in a very aggravating manner that doesn’t make anyone happy. It seems more so a venting than any desire for a discussion. In the first place, and I mean no offense to you, saying “rping is dead” without context in an rp community site will only appear hostile. It can even appear as troll baiting, and it got the exact desire of illiciting reactions.

Secondly, I think people should be aware that “x is dead” is very vague. We all have different definitions and borderlines about it, hence why everyone’s reactions seem to point to extreme.

I agree with Neko in that this just isn’t going anywhere with how the topic is cropping. It’s only making everyone unhappy with each other and the situation.

My personal side is that everyone is being silly and too serious. But I also understand that the feelings of frustration are genuine for them. It’s easy to be more callous being older now, but I do recognize now that invalidating how others feel is no better than what I always hated being treated. Even if I don’t agree with it.

Anyway, what I want to say is, I’m sorry you’re frustrated. I’m starting to feel a bit sad seeing this unfold. I hope you feel better soon.
