I think in part some of the more wordy members (like myself) scared away a number of members. My length that I write I think makes them a little uneasy to approach because they think it is too much to try to match or handle, perhaps. I've made RPs that had a imposed limit on length, but they did not really fly any better than anything else.

I've tried to get social things started up in the RP, but time slips away from me. Lately I've been wanting to do things and have a few RPs planned to be started, but they've been on hold since I've been behind on my writing overall. So I've stopped most of the other writing projects to try to get myself caught up. That is in part why I haven't doing what I have been wanting.

RPing used to be a big thing for TFF, but a lot of core members that did the RPing left or lost the passion for it. And when they left there were no members to fill in their gaps. We even used to have RP Clubs, but they've all disappeared as well. Though people are under the misunderstanding that RP Clubs are not allowed. They actually are allowed to be created, there are just two themes that are not allowed to be created. Everything else is still free game.

There was also the case that most clubs tended to support a RP in the forum as well. And club membership in general has been severely down. So that also helped to pull away people from the RP Forums.
