So a lot of the time when I'm in a forum it ends up that it's either me, Gracethefox, or Sarathedog, that are the only ones staying on a forum, and I gotta say, it gets old, and BORING. I mean sure, WE aren't boring. We love rping together in forums, but we can't do it with JUST us the entire time.
Now I know a lot of people CAN'T get online at times, and when that happens there's nothing wrong, but when people CAN and just don't, it gets really annoying. I'm not saying that you have to get back on, but everyone just disappears and doesn't say why.
My guess is boredom. They get bored, and lazy with the forums and want to do something else, when it hasn't even gotten to the best part.
I made a forum that was a spin-off story of Mobius Academy (Mobius Academy: A week of Halloween). In it there were two plots. The people trapped out of the school, and the people in. Sadly we got NO story for the people inside, because almost no one stayed with it. So it died.
So how do we keep things interesting?
The idea I came up with would be to make a list of different plots you'd like to have happen in the forums, (type them up, write them up, ect.) Then you use that to make sure things stay interesting.
Example
Random slumber party forum.
Plot idea one: Someone does a soda-drinking contest.
Plot idea two: Someone brings too many friends.
Plot idea three: Dating, ect.
These are just examples, but I think you get the idea. Write what you want to have happen, but keep it to yourself so you don't spoil it for other people. Once you do that, you can go back to the forum and keep yourself entertained.
However if this were to work, people NEED to stay with it. If your busy, that's fine, but people kinda need other people to RP with someone.
