Man, this place has become a wasteland :(
Seriously, is it too much to ask players to check the forums for 5-10 mins every second night? For those playing a campaign, I really did expect that would be the case. Some are lucky to even check out the campaign site b/w monthly games.
Are people just not interested? Should I be recruiting people from other sites? Is there something I can do to get players on here? I have tried awarding Bennies for contributions to an actual campaign, but what about to the general RP stuff on here?
I just don't know any more. It just appears no one is really interested in RP stuff any more bar me. Except turning up and playing of course. I guess it is one of those things…"If someone else does all the work, then I'll turn up, sure."
I don NOT want to hear about 'time'. We all have time. I know how much time some of you spend on your PCs when you have visitors…and most nights you have to yourselves. People show up regularly on Skype too. People obviously HAVE time at their PCs to play Candy Crush, online RPGs, Facebook, etc. It is clearly an interest thing. I just wish I could generate some interest in RP again.
I haven't gone so long with next to nothing going on. We hardly play, so I try and tinker and share ideas. We only play if I am pushing - hence I have to go to Ballarat to game. Now I go from here to random links on the side, just to hear something RP related.
Yes, this is irony. Posting here, but doing for my own despair-delayer I guess. Is there ANYTHING I can do to get some regular traffic here and get players to actually look at the forums every couple of nights…not individual posts on devices?
