Slower-paced RP sites are definitely around, it just takes some looking for them, speaking as someone who tends to linger on one or two sites for long-term. Itโs worth combing through โoldโ directory posts and looking at sites, plenty of these sites donโt get as actively advertised because the staff there are busy etc.
This also goes for slow-burn roleplayers and the like, I find that I'm more likely to find them on older and more slow-paced sites sometimes, instead of brand new ones
Another way Iโve used to find people who post at a similar pace, or wonโt rush you, is to post RP partner searches/site wanted ads on directory sites. I donโt think thereโs actually an extreme lack of patient people etc. but because they tend to be busier, they are harder to find/quieter in general
On the other hand, on sites that are kinda omni-RP communities that mainly focus on 1x1 RP, I find that โslowโ posters are more common, so when I was lacking for people to write with at first, I looked there
Because yeah, I really cannot keep up with fast-paced sites much anymore...I donโt think I ever actually did, even back in the old days. Iโve tried to compromise and join sites that had tighter activity requirements or, while didnโt have those activity requirements, had the overall energy of being faster-paced, and it just didnโt work out for me. Itโs very possible to find people and places with similar values and thinking, though, even if it takes a while or some trial-and-error. It isn't a bad thing to try out new places and end up figuring they're not for you. There's so many layers here...forums with settings I'd want to write + with a community I fit in with + with a pace I can keep up with and so on, but I've had success without compromising too much on any of that
