    To those in the Roleplayer List Sticky:

    In an attempt to better the system, I created the Roleplayer's List sticky so that people looking for roleplayers for their rps or simply other people to roleplay with could find them more easily.

    Though the simple sticky thread has worked well enough until now, with the thread at page 13, I think we need to revise the concept and make each of the current 130 profiles and future ones more accessible.

    A simple way to advertise one's tastes would be to link to the post in the sticky thread:

    At the very far top-right corner of each post there is a small yellow/orange link that says "permalink." Clicking this link will add a number onto the end of the URL in the address bar at the top of the web browser.

    Copying this new url into the following code will make it into a direct link to the post that is permalinked.

    [url= URL HERE ] words here [/url]

    The above code in working form appears as such:

    [url=http://roleplayerguild.com/f26/roleplayer-list-18124/#post559433]My first post in the Roleplayer List thread[/url]


    My first post in the Roleplayer List thread

    One could replace "My first post in the Roleplayer List thread" with "My Rp preferences" or "my rp profile" and place the link in ones signature.

    Another example:

    [url=http://roleplayerguild.com/f26/roleplayer-list-18124/#post559443]MDK's Rp Profile[/url]

    MDK's Rp Profile

    These links could be placed in ones signature and be advertised every time a person posted.



    Now, onto the actual topic for this thread:

    We need a way to organize and make each of the profiles quickly accessible, because we all know that no matter the devotion, noone's going to sift through 13 pages *in the hopes* of finding what they're looking for.

    An idea presented by one Shard was that we could have another sticky thread, or edit the first post of the one we already have to include a list such as this:

    Quote Originally Posted by Shard

    Casual;
    MDK
    Advanced;
    MDK
    Gerrigen
    1x1;

    Arena;

    MDK


    Like, people could post in the other one, and the List would link back to it, and each name would link back to everyones individual post.

    Editing such a list would first involve sifting through the 128 posts already in the sticky, and then periodically updating the list with a link under each category to any player that listed those categories as one of their preferred. This would be far too difficult and unrewarding, as I told Shard in reply.

    Now I'm out looking to better the system once again.

    If anyone has any sort of ideas that could help this cause, please go ahead and post here. I'm all ears.

    Love~

    Oh yeah, if anyone notices a mistake in the list, drop me a PM and I'll fix it.

    Also if you update your profile in the Roleplayer List so that you would be removed from or added to a certain category in the list above, send me a PM.

    I am quite flattered that my name was in the original post. I wish I had known this was here before, this will be VERY useful.

    I think first it needs to be divided into Basic, Casual, advanced, etc. and then into genre preference: sci-fi, fantasy, modern, historical, etc. It would make it not only easier to find in what level you are looking for others but also what type of roleplay. If you were to want to go deeper, such as to the number of people in a group, that would probably be next... If you could make a search system where you simply selected from a drop down list all the preferred qualities you are looking for in other roleplayers, it would be really simple and reduce size... but that would require a great deal of coding and research X3
