⓵ It really feels like there are only 20 people on this site. Take that as a means of exclusivity or just the lack of variety. But pardon me if I make use of my 234802384 accounts to just... Get away.

⓶ Stop calling them "non-AU's". They're glorified chatrooms that no one actually rps in. Real talk, if I see a non-AU with only "basic rooms" (wishlist + spam + chat + welcome/requests/other irrelevant that has nothing to do with rping), I swerve into the fifth dimension.

⓷ I honestly think that every rper here should experience solely adminning an rp at least once, just to know how much is expected of them and how difficult the job can be. It's a wonderful position, but so often do the stressors outweigh the rewards.

⓸ If ONE rp is successful and doing well, it doesn't give you the "green light" to duplicate it into 20238402384 other rps that follow suit. Where's the originality? Just because it worked for them doesn't mean it'll be a leeway for you. It's also a reason why people rp-hop... To keep up with the latest trend, even if it's a carbon copy.

⓹ If an rp is quiet for a while, it's alright... Stop bouncing everywhere because you think a place that isn't lit for 5 minutes is dead. It's honestly hectic to be in something that's constantly active, and it let's me know that hardly anyone is plotting.

⓺ I hate when people will only come off their walls to talk about how lonely they are... "BE. AGGRESSIVE". Or at least assertive? Cliques are gonna happen... don't mind their and just make your own! You're very capable of it, yeah? All of you! Find people that agree with you and want to roleplay... Out of the 203403824 people here, it can't be impossible.

⓻ I'm getting very used to seeing the same types of characters being relayed over and over, especially in non-AU's... If people added depth to their charries then maybe plots would come easier and maybe rps wouldn't be dropped? Do what you want with your charries, by all means but... Don't be upset when it goes nowhere.

⓼ Lower your expectations... In RPR, in the roleplayers here--- I hate to say it, but we sort of need to. There are basic grievances, yes, like the ones I'm mentioning here... But there's a wave of victimization that seems to be all over RPR. "I'm lonely." "I'm forever single." Do something... Have you already? Alright, then do it harder--- with other people. An admin can't get you friends, and randomly posting a "hi..." in a moving chat room without tagging people or mentioning names gets you nowhere... That's not effort--- you're giving yourself a way out.

⓽ Face-chasing happens... It's actually a very real, very psychological thing. It's in our nature as humans to drift toward what we find attractive or aesthetic... It may not be RIGHT, but it happens. The thing about face-chasing that makes it annoying would be if, in lieu of it, you end up ignoring everyone else.

⓾ People are so salty these days. They're quick to be offended and quick to shut down others. Where the hell is that "good" atmosphere? Is this a means of being comical or garner a false sense of security? Is "smack-a-hoe" syndrome contagious? I'm working on a cure for it.

I swear I'm not trying to ... I just noticed a few things that I felt the need to mention. Fine with how things are here? Great--- so am I since apparently I'm still here. I just felt the need to rant a bit.

But all the same... Any new posts I make will be about the GOOD things on RPR. I know I just ranted, but I know how these things can get out of hand... and I know the "victimization" habit is a hard thing to break.
