I know, I know, people have felt like this for ages and pure TTRPG players probably thought PbP forum roleplaying was cringe and would kill TTRPG, but I'm noticing a distinct shift in the PbP forums I visit:
I'm kind of curious how others have sought to cement themselves in PbP forum roleplaying? Or maybe some of you have given up and just hang out here for nostalgia's sake, and you do your Roleplaying on discord? Or is my vision just wrong and are RP forums doing better than ever?
- Forums are dying at an alarming rate, it used to be if a forum died it was a big deal, now it happens every week
- Surviving forums are slowly losing activity
- Most forums are arguably populated by the same community
I see people there that I also see here, it feels a little incestuous - A lot of the 1x1 advertisements now revolve around Discord roleplaying or Reddit roleplaying
