what is your favorite old form trend that you do/don't
wish to return?
wow, there are a lot of things, seeing how crap my forms
actually were not that long ago. (aka last summer) they
got better and better, but when i first started to rp, this
girl right here was my entry to literally everything. like
wth she doesn't even look australian and has a really stupid,
really complicated backstory that was waaay too cliche.
+ there was the time where i thought 2 sentences was semi-
lit, whoops.

@sus holy crap i used her too hahahahah
EVERY ROSE HAS IT THORNS I CRY

[eugenides]

thanks for the happy birthdays! <3
@wallflower, i'd love to join,

question: has anyone else ever been totally in love with a character/form
they've made, used it for everything, then realized it wasn't that good and
felt awkward bc same

[winter solstice.]

*guiltily raises hand*

Partly because I can't code pretty little forms and all that /yet/ ^^' that, and I'm not sure what kind of stuff I want on profiles/forms other than basic stuff (name, rank (if applicable), species (if applicable), family, history, etc.) ;p

If anyone could teach me how to code things like that via PM it'd be very appreciated ;u;

@ailuric
happy birthday, hope your wishes come true uvu

as for old trends and so forth, i can relate to everything everyone has posted.
// dea d . wow

guys, i'm actually so proud for once?? like, it's not amazing, but like
foR oNcE. the traits are bothering me, though, since i am a perfectionist.
the last trait isn't aligned with the bottom of everything else, but you didn't read that >v>;
it'd be great to get some constructive advice/criticism on it too if that isn't a problem.

and because it's been bothering me,

although it's a bit weird for me on mac but i can still tell haha

why do [you think] rps die out really quickly? (i.e. before/in the middle of discussion and/or right before you're about to start)
either a.) a discussion never starts or b.) it starts, everyone gets real hyped but no one actually types out a reply.. lol

why do [you think] rps die out really quickly?

procrastination. a lot of people put a lot of crucial
things aside for a lil too long so it just kinda flops.
i know i've been a guilty procrastinator my fair sha
re of times. vov

@ailuric happy birthday

Why do [you think] rps die out really quickly? (i.e. before/in the middle of discussion and/or right before you're about to start)
I feel like the main reason roleplays die out quite soon near their beginning is mainly due to people who participate not equally trying to keep the roleplay going. A roleplay is usually between two or more people, so when only one person is trying to keep it going and putting effort into it, whilst others aren't contributing anything, there comes a problem whereat none of the people participating wish to continue.
Also as @morris. said, procrastination has it's fair share.

@눈_눈 : I like it, short and simple with a few vectors. The traits that you added in the corner add a very nice touch to it.

what is your favorite old form trend that you do/don't wish to return?
Glittery text. Somehow I really don't want to see it come back.
Also when forms used to be all centred and you'd describe every single trait of the character in a new row and then you'd try to make the description longer than it should be.
Example:
Eyes - ....
Hair - ....

why do [you think] rps die out really quickly? (i.e. before/in the middle of discussion and/or right before you're about to start)
I think its partly because the plot isn't too strong and partly because the people aren't interested. I've seen a rp that's gone on for over a year in continuous threads, just because the people playing are so into the plot.
