Reviving Dead RPs?

Postby Diamond Dragon » Mon Jul 15, 2013 3:33 pm

It's been a long time since I've been on here, and the RPs that were pretty active since I've been last here seems to have died. So I was wondering if anyone wanted to revive any of them? We could ask the owner of that RP whether it's ok to revive (Or if that member hasn't been on for more than say, 1-2 weeks, and think it would be alright to go ahead and revive it.) Either way, we'd give the original owner full credit for the RP. Any thoughts or RP revival suggestions?

Do you mean gravedinging or rebooting these RPs?

LastFan: Um, actually, I kinda forgot...I guess that goes to show how long I've been away. XD;; Could you refresh my memory about it and maybe give a link if you can find it please?

Moi: I guess it would be more like rebooting, though it would depend on the thread. If the thread doesn't have many posts, I don't think it would hurt to gravedig it.

Wolfsong: Agh, my memory is so fuzzy right now...could you remind me about that one as well please? ^_^;;

It seems like I've hardly seen you around, CAA, Dia. I hope you are doing well.

I can imagine a few things would be shaky with this idea, but I can see your good intentions behind it.

While it's good to ask the original creator whether or not they want their RPG rebooted, I would advise against rebooting ones without their permission (e.g. If they are not around anymore/haven't been active/etc.). While the RPG section is not really a place for copyrighted material, it just seems more respectful to leave an RPG to rest until the owner can come and tend to it.

On a side note, there is no reason you cannot borrow ideas from previously made RPGs and make a new one! Unless part of what you're aiming for it an already established RPG so you don't have to get the ball rolling as much in the beginning?

Well, On the Run is actually still on here. I've seen it during my random scrolling down the list for something interesting to read (yes, I read old rpgs. It sometimes gives me ideas when I'm stuck).

Here's the link:

Uh, not to be a killjoy Wolf, but I was a member of that RP, and I've got too much stuff going on at the moment to be able to keep up very well if it does get rebooted. Sorry about that. Maybe another time?

Gold: Well, things have been going on lately, but I'm pulling through it. Anyway, I see what you mean. Thanks for the suggestions!

Wolf: Oh yes! I remember now! But banana is right, it had a bit too much stuff going on...though if you want, maybe we could PM, and figure the plot out better or something.

LastFan: Shadow City! Yeah, I remember that one too! I'd like to redo that one too!

And what about Disukaba Sekin? Is anyone interested in redoing that one too?

Really? Who are you?

Dia, I'm looking forward to Shadow City! I understand about On the Run, and if something could be worked out, that's okay, but I don't want to leave BL out. It'd be okay. Besides, wasn't MichaelLance in there too? I haven't seen him in forever...

what is Disukaba Sekin?

That's true. I haven't seen Michael ever since I got back here either. And I just retyped up Shadow City!

And here's the topic for Disukaba-Sekin:

awesome! Do you think you might be able to find my old character on there, Dia? I seem to have lost the sheet. XD
But if you can't, that's okay. I'll make a new one!

Deleted or just stuck in old caa? If the latter, I could help with finding these old character profiles if need be. Let me know either way.
