Hey everyone. I'm so sorry I've been away. I missed you all terribly. The stress of school and testing and maintaining grades got to be too much and I needed to cut myself off, it was never meant to be so abrupt but it did me good to get some time away and my grades certainly did better. I am now officially graduated from high school and college bound in the fall, with a few months now off in the summer for working and leisure.
I see the forums seem to be here still but not much is going on...is everyone interested in a big group RP? Maybe a journey, maybe not. I think JJX could make his RP work but he seems absent again as well so maybe something ambitious but not too far reaching. And something with the ability to keep moving on. Thoughts? I was actually wondering if someone with spriting/artistic skills might be interested in helping me out with an idea, if that sounds like you, PM me and we can discuss an idea for an RP I had...

Welcome back, and congratulations on graduating! o/
tbh I don't think a group rp, journey or not, will solve our constant activity issue. The roleplays here always seem to start off great, but then a week later, everyone goes awol again due to school/work/etc. We have no new members coming in, and we have a huge problem retaining our current ones as well. This is partly, I suspect, because we still haven't really figured out what our selling point is (and thus we don't have something that compels people to keep on coming back), and partly because RShed isn't the only virtual space we can hang out with our circle of friends (e.g. mini and I are more likely to chat on Facebook/Tumblr than here).
When we're able to answer What makes RShed unique? and What makes you keep on coming back to RShed?, I think we'll finally get somewhere. But unfortunately I too am at a loss as to how we should market ourselves going forward. I do have a vague idea (if we want to continue focusing on roleplaying) of having a few consistent huge roleplays (with unique, thought-out plotlines and/or universes) going on at any one time, with each roleplay having a dedicated subforum, but again, that only works if people are willing to put in the effort to worldbuild and post.
