Just as a thought, but would it be a good idea to add a list of who's subscribed to a particular roleplay? Either that or a count saying "6 people are subscribed to this thread".

When I was rewriting the Subscription system, I considered displaying subscribers. But I ultimately decided that you should be able to subscribe in secret. Displaying just the count seems like a good idea though. However, once I crunch through some more generic forum features (like being able to archive/delete PMs), I do want to ponder more roleplay-specific features like first-class support for Roleplays and their participants. For example: - "Joining"/"Leaving" roleplays. Or "retiring" from a roleplay (so it drops out of your active roleplays list). Maybe everyone lost interest or your character got killed off. - Displaying the number of active roleplays you're a part of under your avatar in posts - Seeing an official participant count next to roleplays and, when clicking into the Roleplay, a list of the participants - Being able to go to someone's profile and see which roleplays they're a part of With that sort of Roleplay-has-many-Roleplayers metadata, there are a lot of interesting things I can do. I've wanted to do something like this since 2009, but I was too noob of a developer to get it to work performantly on vBulletin. Nowadays this is a feature I can certainly take on, but it takes a lot of thought. Especially coming up with implementations that don't complicate the system or the user experience. I mean, that's really the entire point of coding the Guild from scratch - so that I can develop these sorts of features.

Ah. Sounds like a well fleshed out version of what I was suggesting. Completely understand how Pm's and BB formatting is a bit of a priority at the moment. Thanks for the insight. :)

It would be neat if there was a boolean field for a Roleplay that signified whether or not sign ups were open or closed, which could be displayed as an icon so players looking for a new game could quickly see games that were looking for new members.

Agreed. The least I need to do for now is make topic-titles editable again so GMs can change the title from "[Open] My RP" to "[Closed] My RP".
