Before I came to Forums I was on Omegle and other instant chatrooms for roleplay. Before that I was a poor quality Larper and short story writer.
Combined the two, left chatrooms altogether, and came to Forums.
Admittedly chatrooms are faster paced, and I enjoyed that.
Sometimes it'll take days for even one post, and that's frustrating to someone who used to complete one fight in one day. Numbering within 20-50 posts per day.
Fast paced stuff and then a gap of absolutely nothing, and then forum roleplay. I guess Forums have better staying power than chatrooms though. Allows for roleplays to actually last, rather than die off.
