That would be the RSRP wiki! I linked it in the first post, and there are several helpful guides on there + templates that help you create a good-looking character page (which is why nothing like that exists on the forums.
The wiki feels more like an archive than an actual forum thread, which is why I suggested making one here. Objectively, a forum thread here would be easier to access than the wiki provided. Posts on forums tend to get more comments than pages on wikis, potentially providing the feedback or help that somebody is looking for.

Personally, I believe the guides posted on this thread and the wiki lack the quality to provide proper guidance to those seeking it.

Well, you did snip out the part where I explained why something like that isn't sustainable. Sure, it'd be great for a little bit. But with a 2k character limit (which is REALLY not a lot when you're trying to list bio, description, general details, etc) and a 2k post limit, coupled with the inability to truly delete your messages if you leave the community (You can erase it but the fact there's a message there is still recorded), leaves the whole idea of a forum thread for hosting character pages a little obsolete.

They think they are "the many", and I "the few". They think this gives them the right to walk over me.

Again, you seem to be missing the point. The main purpose of such a thread would to serve as a simple guide for creating a character, not as an archive. On another note, if a Q&A thread were created, as I suggested before, people posting character bios would clutter the thread.

With the current population of the roleplay community, filling a thread with character bios would be an impressive feat.
As for the 2k character limit on posts, posting a full character biography in 2k words is easy enough if you keep it simple. You don't need to cram your character's full life story into a post to explain where they come from.

Fucking looool. I edited parts that I felt needed to be edited and made sure to post updates each time I made an edit, for about 5 months. I really like how you posted a bunch of criticisms about the parts I didn't touch, Mae comes in to claim credit, and you suddenly turn around. That's actually a classic.

I can edit other ppls stoof so I be W42 rp figgurhed an fuk u if u no liek reeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

Do you ever have anything constructive or are you just an endless fountain of bitter rage?

This whole thread is a testament to your raging campaign for respect and submission from the community, so...

Thank you, Kanye, very cool. Nice bbcoding. Good luck finding the fucking error in that and I'll be legitimately impressed when you do.

EDIT; Right as I post it, damn. The Sicarius |
