Good Roleplays are dying, and it's the members faults.

Roleplay Reviews: Stop forcing people to turn on notifications, people have lives, work and parents .

You remember back in 2012, when AFF was the goldmine of facebook roleplays, when there was an rp for everything, and they were all active, fun, and enjoyable.
2019, is the death of roleplays I am pretty sure and lemme give a few reasons why, and if you're an admin maybe you can change these things to make it live on.

1) Lying about the activity, false advertisement of your roleplay. 

If your roleplay is dying, acknowledge its death and revamp, DO NOT lie to people and say its alive. People join and expect to have a good time with everyone. But, when we get there the only welcome post we get is from the main admin. Just revamp.

2) Cliques, and Cliquing. ITS BAD. 

A lot of Admins push this under the rug because 9/10 they are a part of that clique so they don't do anything about it. WHICH IS UNPROFESSIONAL. Cliques can happen and make PLENTY of members feel left out, and not appreciated and you wanna know what that leads to. People leaving. Stop this. You have to encourage all of your members to get along and speak with one another. 

3) Keep IN CHARACTER DRAMA on the DL (unless youre an AU rp)

No one wants to join a roleplay and find out Bae Chea Ter has been unfaithful to their partner Lee Tells Everyone. It's excessive and unfair. Gives the rp a very bad taste when you just let this occur. Tell them to knock it off. Its a roleplay, not jerry springer.

Chapter 14: The gay really has reached a new low recently. I see people turning their male muses into hungry twinks that don't know anything but wanting a big d.ick up their . It's so irritating and I wonder if they ever feel bad for portraying their muse in such a light.

Chapter 14: This. Thank you so much. I stopped rping idols for a while because I realised I got to a point where I was using an idol’s face and name to say and do things I wouldn’t do or say with my own name and face, and I hope everyone can try to do the same and reflect on why they are rping, and learn to be respectful to the person they’re fcing while playing out their dreams and fantasies.

can you please write about your thoughts on whether catching your S/O in another roleplay is cheating? Person A is in a relationship with Person B in Roleplay A but Person A is also in a relationship with Person C in Roleplay B.

Chapter 12: have you looked at the ization of Gay men by teenage girls? would you be interested in writing a piece on this when it comes to roleplay? most people portraying a gay male character are female, most of them straight or biual.

In this dynamic, which I see enacted in gay romance plots, the truth of the man’s queerness is erased, because the character is gay only in the ways the straight woman mun can imagine. She censors his uality by filtering it through a heteroual lens. leaving behind a male character that supposedly are to display a bottom, that very often is extremly feminized because the only version of someone submitting they can imagine is a feminized and weak character which is far from the reality of gay men. There is a minority of gay men who are feminine, but most are regular men and the constant misrepresentation of gay men as extremly femine is in some opinions, very offensive.

what do you think of this?

Chapter 8: These are actually the thought I've been having on my mind. Glad that someone's putting it into words. Some people rp to get away from rl but it just seems more stressful to be in a base. Definitely miss those fun old days where you can talk to anyone as everyone's so friendly and pure kind!!

Chapter 8: This literally sums up my RP life.
Currently in El Alcazar and you describe it so accurately. Will pretty much bored at the moment and will continue to stay there until I find someplace better.

Chapter 6: And sighs, i agree about the cheating one. Its so hard to find one who wouldnt do anything to anyone. Like being a really loyal person, sometimes i wonder if is that good to get months worth of relationship down the gutter. Like really? If is that much loved then why even bother? It hurts- honestly.
