We haven't allowed forum-based RP since the Crescent Moon Tavern was in existence - even the political based RP was shut down because we don't allow it anymore. It clogs the news feed and a lot of people don't like seeing the feed filled with random RP. That's why LRP is chat based - it doesn't clog the feed.

This has been going on for a while now, and though I can only speak for myself, I haven't received any complaints about it. Like I said, I brought it up a couple of different times in Elder Council when it was still new to make sure before we let people get involved in it (precisely because I could find no rules governing it), and no one, including Paul, thought there was anything wrong with it. It hardly seems fair to simply shut it down while it's in full swing. If the site's official stance is that it isn't allowed, then I at least propose allowing a period for people to tie up their loose RP threads before we start reinforcing the rule.

We closed them down in the past because of how news-feed-clogging they are. Now we send all forum-based RP to the LRP groups to avoid these situations.
