Okay, the administration has decided there is going to be no RP area on Arlong Park Forums themselves. Fair enough.
However, the rules also apparently forbid advertising other forums. This makes it difficult to elegantly indicate and discuss places where we can enjoy role-playing.
I might propose creating a thread specifically for promoting OP-related RP sites– exempt from that "no advertising other sites" rule. It could be even formed as a single post operated by a moderator (like the "Where to DL manga" thread) where different forums could be listed with a short description (setting, major deviations from canon, original characters allowed or not...)
I know, I have an alterior motive. The RP I like is a bit dead for want of members, so I would love for people to find it in a list here.
