Recent topics and roleplays

[SasQ 1,376]

Hi there.

 

I often start browsing the MLP Forums from its start page, by scanning through the list of most recent topics. Once it was a great idea, there was always something interesting to follow. But now I mostly see lots of roleplay threads there, whereas other interesting posts are drowned amongst them or drop out of the list altogether.

 

The roleplay threads are also usually the most active, because lot of people view it and post there frequently, which, I think, is a bit unfair for other posters whose posts could be interesting as well, but they will not handle the "competition" of roleplay threads' activity.

 

I don't have anything against roleplays, this is a great fun etc., and I'd play too if I had time. But if one isn't interested in ropelpaying at present, it is quite difficult to find any interesting threads when there are mostly roleplay threads on the most recent list.

 

So my suggestion is to filter this list or split it into two separate lists somehow: one for roleplay threads, the other for "normal" discussion. This way the people who are interested in roleplaying would find their stuff easier, and others, which are not interested in roleplaying, would find their stuff easier. So I think it would turn out as good for both.

 

Edit: Maybe even creating a separate list is not necessary, since if one participates in a roleplay, he would get notifications on the "Topics I've participated in" list anyway.
