Featured: Question from the mod!

[moon]

Hi! Looking to hear a bit about how you use the RP forums nowadays! If you fill in the answers to the below, I'll be very happy :)

1. Do you usually look in both RPCasting and RPStage on a normal day?

2. Do you usually use the quick links in the RPC/RPS banners to jump between the two sections?

3. Do you use/read/check the Writer's Lounge section?

4. Do you use/read/check the Fanfiction & Writing section?

5. Are you currently part of any RP here?

6. Do you currently wish to join a new RP? If yes, what is the reason you aren't?

7. Do you feel like the current setup works fine (RPC and RPS and WL accessible directly from the main forum index), or did you prefer when all RP threads and discussion was in the same section?


Thank you for answering! If you see this, please urge your fellow players and GMs to answer as well :)

1. Do you usually look in both RPCasting and RPStage on a normal day?
yes, usually multiple times. for various reasons

2. Do you usually use the quick links in the RPC/RPS banners to jump between the two sections?
Frequently yeah but not always.

3. Do you use/read/check the Writer's Lounge section?
I check it when I see something new but I don't post very often.

4. Do you use/read/check the Fanfiction & Writing section?
infrequently

5. Are you currently part of any RP here?
yuh, playing in Trainers and GMing/playing in Hoenn: Square One

6. Do you currently wish to join a new RP? If yes, what is the reason you aren't?
Nope, I've got a lot to do for the two I'm in and feel like if I was involved in more then the quality of my writing would go way down. However, I very much enjoy reading other Pokémon RPs and look forward to seeing them come out and be active!

7. Do you feel like the current setup works fine (RPC and RPS and WL accessible directly from the main forum index), or did you prefer when all RP threads and discussion was in the same section?
Oh I love it this way. I love being able to see all this from the main index. So much easier.

1. Do you usually look in both RPCasting and RPStage on a normal day?
Yes, every single day :D

2. Do you usually use the quick links in the RPC/RPS banners to jump between the two sections?
Nope, I bookmarked them on my browser so I don't really have the use for it. But it's really useful otherwise.

3. Do you use/read/check the Writer's Lounge section?
I rarely check them

4. Do you use/read/check the Fanfiction & Writing section?
I had in past, but... Now it's rarely.

5. Are you currently part of any RP here?
Yes, I'm a member of 3 active RPs, 1 is on hiatus but (hopefully) will be active again.

6. Do you currently wish to join a new RP? If yes, what is the reason you aren't?
Nope :), more than this and I'm doomed. I have too much in my plate rn both RP-wise and real life.

7. Do you feel like the current setup works fine (RPC and RPS and WL accessible directly from the main forum index), or did you prefer when all RP threads and discussion was in the same section?
I'm not here long enough to experience the differences, but I have to say that the accessibility of the current setup is really great.

1. Do you usually look in both RPCasting and RPStage on a normal day?
No, just when I see there are new posts or when I'm gonna post something.

2. Do you usually use the quick links in the RPC/RPS banners to jump between the two sections?
I forgot they were there B) But that's because my browser already knows I visit those sections a lot, so it's easier that way.

3. Do you use/read/check the Writer's Lounge section?
Whenever there's a new post or I feel like posting in an old thread. I have yet to start a thread there tho.

4. Do you use/read/check the Fanfiction & Writing section?
I used to check it a lot before I started rping, but not that much now.

5. Are you currently part of any RP here?
I'm part of three lmao.

6. Do you currently wish to join a new RP? If yes, what is the reason you aren't?
I would like to, but as you see above I'm already in three, which is a lot considering I have two mains in one and I can barely keep up in another one.

7. Do you feel like the current setup works fine (RPC and RPS and WL accessible directly from the main forum index), or did you prefer when all RP threads and discussion was in the same section?
I think it's better the current setup, considering I'm constantly looking at the homepage. It's also easier to see if there are new posts in RC and RPS.

1. Do you usually look in both RPCasting and RPStage on a normal day?
Usually! It's mostly if I have something to post or I already know there is something to read, though!

2. Do you usually use the quick links in the RPC/RPS banners to jump between the two sections?
Not that much actually (also because for some reason, they don't appear when you're viewing a specific thread inside a section... that would be useful I guess, but I don't know how easy it is to program). But they're useful, ngl!

3. Do you use/read/check the Writer's Lounge section?
Well, I should visit it more! I don't really go there often though.

4. Do you use/read/check the Fanfiction & Writing section?
Very rarely!

5. Are you currently part of any RP here?
Yes, 4!

6. Do you currently wish to join a new RP? If yes, what is the reason you aren't?
Every new RP that comes up I consider joining by default, even though I probably shouldn't given how many RPs I'm already in. The more RPs come up and the more conflicted I get hehe!

7. Do you feel like the current setup works fine (RPC and RPS and WL accessible directly from the main forum index), or did you prefer when all RP threads and discussion was in the same section?
Well, now that I finally got used to this new layout, it's not bad! Seeing if there's anything new right from the home page is a nice plus :)

 

[Geras]

1. Do you usually look in both RPCasting and RPStage on a normal day?
Not really, unless I'm already expecting a new post

2. Do you usually use the quick links in the RPC/RPS banners to jump between the two sections?
All the time

3. Do you use/read/check the Writer's Lounge section?
Nope, I'd actually forgotten it existed. Might poke around in there more.

4. Do you use/read/check the Fanfiction & Writing section?
Nope.

5. Are you currently part of any RP here?
Yup, 3 of them.

6. Do you currently wish to join a new RP? If yes, what is the reason you aren't?
Nope. Got my hands full with the ones I'm in.

7. Do you feel like the current setup works fine (RPC and RPS and WL accessible directly from the main forum index), or did you prefer when all RP threads and discussion was in the same section?
Makes no big difference to me, honestly

 

[Groc]

Hi!

Hello, again!

1. Do you usually look in both RPCasting and RPStage on a normal day?
Generally. I try to check both every day, but sometimes I go a day or two without if I'm busy.

2. Do you usually use the quick links in the RPC/RPS banners to jump between the two sections?
No, I just always have the Writer's Lounge open and I click open new tabs from there.

3. Do you use/read/check the Writer's Lounge section?
Yes, I always have it on a tab on my mobile. That said, I don't write or read there often.

4. Do you use/read/check the Fanfiction & Writing section?
No. I did open it recently, but only because I'm considering writing a fanfiction and wanted to look around first. Not sure if that will get off the ground any time soon, though...

5. Are you currently part of any RP here?
Yes, several.

6. Do you currently wish to join a new RP? If yes, what is the reason you aren't?
If one catches my eye, yes. I'm of the opinion that I can never be in too many RPs, even though it's happened to me before. More than once, in fact. I just like writing.

7. Do you feel like the current setup works fine (RPC and RPS and WL accessible directly from the main forum index), or did you prefer when all RP threads and discussion was in the same section?
I feel this works great. It's more organized, and I like being able to separate IC from OOC so easily.

1. Do you usually look in both RPCasting and RPStage on a normal day?
Yes

2. Do you usually use the quick links in the RPC/RPS banners to jump between the two sections?
Yes, most convenient way yo get between them

3. Do you use/read/check the Writer's Lounge section?
No, but I'm new and mostly trying to Catch up in my current RP.


4. Do you use/read/check the Fanfiction & Writing section?
No, but have been meaning to check it out, once i'm caught up.

5. Are you currently part of any RP here?
Yes, Hoenn: Square one.

6. Do you currently wish to join a new RP? If yes, what is the reason you aren't?
No, id like to focus on the one I'm in now.

7. Do you feel like the current setup works fine (RPC and RPS and WL accessible directly from the main forum index), or did you prefer when all RP threads and discussion was in the same section?
I like the separation of IC and OOC alot, it makes it easy to find and read the RPS stories.

 

[Tooi Akogare]

1. Do you usually look in both RPCasting and RPStage on a normal day?
I did when I was looking for a rp to join, but haven't really since.

2. Do you usually use the quick links in the RPC/RPS banners to jump between the two sections?
Yes

No

4. Do you use/read/check the Fanfiction & Writing section?
No

5. Are you currently part of any RP here?
One technically (Hoenn: Square One) but I'm in an indefinite hiatus on it. The rp luckily allows that sort of flexibility in case I get more time in the future and the itch to write comes back.

6. Do you currently wish to join a new RP? If yes, what is the reason you aren't?
Lol no my pea-sized brain can only handle so much

7. Do you feel like the current setup works fine (RPC and RPS and WL accessible directly from the main forum index), or did you prefer when all RP threads and discussion was in the same section?
No that sounds chaotic

[Embyr]

More like every other day for me.

2. Do you usually use the quick links in the RPC/RPS banners to jump between the two sections?
I use them all the time.

I really like the current set up and can only imagine things being very disorganized if they were merged.

 

[moon]

To clarify: there still used to be two subforums for IC threads and OOC threads, but they were nestled under a main discussion section, so from the main forum index you could only spot the last thread from any of the three spaces. Nowadays, you can immediately see the last post in all of the three.

 

[saniachan]

1. Do you usually look in both RPCasting and RPStage on a normal day?
Not really, just popping in every now and then.

2. Do you usually use the quick links in the RPC/RPS banners to jump between the two sections?
Sometimes, yeah...

3. Do you use/read/check the Writer's Lounge section?
Not really at the moment.

4. Do you use/read/check the Fanfiction & Writing section?
Nope.

5. Are you currently part of any RP here?
Nope.

6. Do you currently wish to join a new RP? If yes, what is the reason you aren't?
Actually, yeah. I do wish to join a new RP or two (preferably the Pokemon ones), but I haven't found the right one for me. :(

7. Do you feel like the current setup works fine (RPC and RPS and WL accessible directly from the main forum index), or did you prefer when all RP threads and discussion was in the same section?
No preferences, honestly.
