@Selira i think the decline is probably more due to there being so many more options for entertainment. Even more so now. Like if you miss tt gaming there are actually sources where you CAN do that online you don’t have to mush and try to fit into that subset of rp. You can rp on mmos or via them. Its super easy to publish serial erotica based in your fantasy world or fandom online and a whole community thats happy to enjoy it. People can set up private rping stuff on discord or docs or whatever.
Mushing will always have my heart. I’ll be in the hobby until I die. I like mmos okay and enjoy online tt but this is the format I prefer. And I’ve only taken a couple years break right after I got knocked up with my twins (they just turned 19) though I’ve had many slow periods. I still on every place I play meet many new to me people. (Genuinely new to me, not just forgetting).
I dont know that the community was ever humongous (rpgs were not as cool or semi-mainstream back then as they are now) but I don’t think its in its death throes yet.

I can’t believe I was kicked out of the clique again, I just got in

there’s just as much whisoer campaigns but the content is different, ect.
^ Precisely. WORA/SWOFA were just more openly toxic. Instead of peeving with a vague-post where we all know who it is but no one says who it is, you posted their RL name and pictures of their house while you called them a PHB because they type out the word
pose
instead of use:
-
Yikes. I’m glad I was just kinda, uh, doing MU* things and not part of any community boards during that time.

@KarmaBum sometimes there was real hurt behind that behavior too. Someone felt very wronged and wanted to strike back. Still overkill to call CPS/deface rl social media/ect. But I don’t think everyone was always angry about trite things at least not to them.
I do think that is why the reputation around gossip boards has stuck though. There can be a lot of anger and vitriol when people are invested. I think a lot of bad behavior on games in general is because of investment/need or because the person just doesn’t put the same controls on themselves as they would in a face to face friendship or acquaintance/club meeting activity. Or they could be having a straight up breakdown or mental health spiral.
But I think what’s behind it is very rarely truly petty.
I’m just glad that for the most part we as a community in general have lines that most folks agree should not be crossed and those that do (even if they claim to not know/understand why) are given less passes than they were before.

I want to know why I was not put in a sidebox (with a pink border) labelled “Clique Mascot”.

Clique mascot.

Our mascot arrives, starts licking the peach, refuses to elaborate, leaves.
-
@Solstice It’s gonna be a t-shirt.
-
… is it okay I thought that was a little orange baby kitten and now I am a tiny bit sad it is an orange?
-
@junipersky It’s a peach!
Er I mean yes. It’s an orange. Sure. Yes. <_<
-
@crawfish I thought it was an orange BABY KITTEN.
Ignore the stem and leaves and tell me that it couldn’t me a lil baby facing its grown-up getting groomed.
-
@junipersky Eeeehhhh no but I can draw that too someday.
-
@crawfish I now suddenly feel obligated if you’re going to play Stray.
-
@Testament sigh
Probably. But only after I finish Subnautica.
-
Jesus Christ, you guys. I stop posting for two months and all of a sudden I’m friends with Roz and Hellfrog? It’s like you fuckers don’t know me at all.
-
So, yeah. Welcome to the party. You and I are friends now.
(It’s only funny if you’re Cher though, that’s how I meant it.)
