Welcome to Gaia! ::

Even though this is an furry guild, talking about furries and fursonas, etc, i was wondering


Can we have a sub forum where it is just Fursona role plays, where we can role play as our fursonas?

I agree, thats why i was asking.

I love to role play...and i have a few in mind that i think, i am not sure though, that people might like. I role play as a few things, and its mostly i role play as demons or shape shifters.

But other than that i would like to see a rp sub forum

We used to have an RP sub-forum, but it died a slow, painful death >_<

I agree, I enjoy RPing.

Though I have a rule of never doing it on gaia again.

Let me know if an RP sub-forum starts up.

yea....i hate role playing on gaia some times, no one takes any thing serious here

I don't like RPing too publicly because people tend to disrespect the concept. Kenshin Himura has no place in a steampunk alterworld WWII, gods don't belong in a world without religion, and for the love of pants, you cannot simultaneously be a depressed loner and the most popular kid at school.

What few good RPs I've been involved in on Gaia all fizzled due to significant participants lacking time to keep up their roles. And for a few years now, I've had difficulty finding/creating plots I could really care about outside of ones that I've been working on with specific partners for well near a decade already.

That's not actually what happened to me! Almost everyone is still around, but two major players just don't have much time for the internet in general anymore, and too many other players don't have enough internet time daily to even catch up on what's been posted, much less write new posts of their own.

Nobody has disappeared entirely; even the two majors still come back to say hello every few months. They just all happen to live in reality, where bills and rent take precedence over storytelling.

I wasn't complaining about the players, I was complaining about the fate of the story.

Let's be fair: many of us have significant commitments to things that often unexpectedly require us to leave our computers alone for extended periods of time. For example, I'm taking classes and looking for work. It should be obvious that around exam time, or when work life becomes frantically busy, I will have to abandon some leisure activities in order to fulfill my more important commitments to myself or others.

Edit: I'm also frequently uncomfortable with the roleplay threads I've seen on Gaia. The writing (both in composition and in spelling) is often eye-bleedingly terrible.
