So here's the deal. This board is dead.
Very, very dead. There's been a loss of key members, and no new ones joining up despite the campaign a few months ago to draw in more people. There have been vicious fights, most of which were resolved with both parties still very disgruntled. The world building is particularly vulnerable to war, and the RP threads are prone as well as people disagree.
A purge is needed.
What I was thinking is to start afresh and nuke the RolePlay section of the board, sending any threads to a protected subboard so that, while it is not forgotten, the events in these threads will no longer coincide with the RP's history. It would be as if we hadn't even made our first RolePlay post. All other boards will not be affected by this demolition. By doing this, I think people will be more inclined to be active and post, along with drawing newcomers our way, and enabling characters to be adopted without massive reworking and conflicts. I know a fair share of people (including myself) were discontent with what had been going on.
And to get as many opinions possible on the matter, please make sure to ask other members if they have seen this message. You can see who's a member by clicking Here.
So, yea or nay my comrades? Should the purge commense, or shall we keep the current threads and trudge on?
Edit: So, let me make this ABUNDANTLY CLEAR so that even the most dense person on Earth could get what I'm saying:

Edit: So, let me make this ABUNDANTLY CLEAR so that even the most dense person on Earth could get what I'm saying:
- This is a way that could get this RP active again.
- The threads in the sections listed below will be moved to another sub-board.
- These threads will not be erased.
- These threads will be visible to everyone, but cannot be posted in.
- These threads will NOT affect or effect any future threads.
- In even LESS words than above, "ME PUT THREADS IN ZOO. ZOO ONLY FOR LOOK. REST OF BOARD IGNORE WHAT IN ZOO."
