Dead Threads

Sometimes, a good thing doesn't last. Maybe its due to inattention, a lack of care, everyone else is busy with something, or some other miscellaneous thing, but regardless, the thread justs... stops. It dies. Its sad to see so much time and effort going into a rp thread just suddenly halt and stall. A story with no end is hardly a story at all.

But I digress. The point of the matter is what do we do about them. Do we just lock them up, to prevent people from spamming them? Do we leave them alone, and allow people to enter it and try to revive it, or do what ever they please? For that matter, can a person continue a dead threat by himself, or does he/she/it have to have more than one person playing?

Another matter is how long should it be before a thread is declared 'dead', and whether or not its appropriate to restart it all together if nothing is being done with it, or no one gives a darn.

Just curious about some things, that s all, good sirs and ladies.

Ah, yeah... All of the above? Basically anything goes, solo RPs are pretty okay unless you're making absolute spam out of it, blah blah blah. Basically, do what you want. Try to revive it, pester people, use fabulous passive aggression. I've seen/used them all xD

But, to what makes a thread dead? The lack of people brutalizing post order to get it going, that'd make it dead. If people care, it's alive ;3

Thanks for the info, Lithping! If you were not around to answer my slightly innane question , I might get mildly frustrated!

Heh, I'll always be around, dearest ;3
