Okay.. I know this thread has gone on for super long, but that's no reason to start getting annoyed at people for posting. The staff wanted to see how the removal of gen affected the community in the long run, no? So, wouldn't they want feedback from this thread even now?
I want to bring up a few more points.. to those who are saying we can just advertise on this forum, well, it ain't that easy for people who live in different timezones. As an aussie, if I posted an advert on the site, I'd either get no-one or people who have much different timezones and we wouldn't end up being able to get on to actually role-play.
And to those saying that "oh oh, I know a role-play that's doing even better with this change" That's only SOME of the role-plays. The ones who started with the most members. It takes REALLY long to get any members now, and some people don't have that kind of time!
So please, just consider giving gen back or working out some sort of compromise. This is really getting bad now, I'm probably going to leave altogether if things don't start picking up... I don't care about your stories of success with rps (especially with staff, since some people would be crawling over eachother to join your rps), because from what I've seen (going off what I have personally seen so I might be wrong) role-plays have been doing much much worse, and they're very inconvenient and time-consuming to find. Before gen was removed, we'd usually have enough members to rp with by an hour (or less), and that's enough time as it is! But now? 3 hours straight, two members! Just two! and one of them was from the rival pack, because it had already died. I myself would rather play another game than pop movies out every minutes for THREE WHOLE HOURS!
And yeah, I agree with midnightkitten.. it's turned into a kind of mini-war between advertisers. Really bad.
Again, this is just my opinion, don't eat me >.<
