Hello, I am Stormlord, most people end up referring to me as Storm. I've been doing RPGs on and off for about a decade, but only really started Play-by-Post about four years ago.
The forum I was previous using for RPs has been a sinking ship for about a year or two now with little hope of activity or admin assistance so some of us in the group I play with have been reaching out and putting feelers around for alternate locations that would be good to migrate to.
I came across The Guild after browsing Reddit posts discussing popular Play-by-Post places and it caught my eye.

@Stormflyx seems like you have some competition

Welcome to the Guild, @StormLord.

What website did you come from if you don't mind me asking? Hopefully you'll find something here that suits your tastes in any case. We have plenty of available Roleplays ongoing and being advertised on a daily basis. If you have any questions about the site, then don't hesitate to ask either. Most of us are pretty friendly and usually happy to help.

Welcome.

So I'm not sure where I should ask this, but I've noticed a lot of threads have several tabs. Namely IC, OOC, and Character Sheets.
How do these work? Is it at all possible to customize them? I didn't really want to make a trash post just to test.

The RP I'm looking around to move is large enough that we use a sub-plot campaign structure, where characters break of in groups of 3-6 and work through small campaign arcs run by sub-GM volunteers. In the current forum we're in the biggest reason we haven't moved is that we've got a dedicated subforum folder due to the multitude of thread we create getting lost or clogged in the standard RP section.

If it was possible to make custom tabs we could just have a master thread for each sub-plot set with each tab listing one of the subplots.

I was going to respond to this last night, but I was too tired. Hopefully I can answer your inquiry anyway. . .

From my understanding, you can't exactly customize them though you can utilize BBCode, headers, and so on to make your Roleplays look more presentable. You can find guides for "prettying up" your Roleplays here. There is also what's referred to as a "zeroth post" on the OOC and Character tabs that can be stickied for important information such as summaries, lore, character lists, and so on. It may be easier to peruse the forums to see it in action as opposed to explaining it though. I wouldn't worry too much about making a "trash thread" though as if you're ever unsatisfied with your work, you can request it to be deleted by moderators here.

Hopefully this helped a little!
