I've been thinking maybe we should import some of the RPG threads from the old board. Maybe copy and paste the material. The question is what material do we want to salvage and how long have we got to do it? Is the old board going to be around for a while? I've got back to back local conventions for the next two weekends (the result of more than one group stepping in to fill the void left after my big local con ran into organisational problems and didn't run last year). It would be nice if we had a little time to work with...

While it might not be possible to import ALL of the RPs that we had over at Jindai, it might be possible to work with some of the newer/more active ones. There's always the option of simply restarting an RP thread idea here, since at the moment it's first come first serve on character sign-ups for each thread, and I think that with a new start, some of them might actually end up going somewhere instead of stagnating as they had.
We'll see what we can do though ^__^

If there are any threads that people specifically want, state them here, preferably sooner rather than later so I can grab 'em. I'm thinking something of a fresh start will be best, however, especially considering how many times characters changed hands and the likes.

if you can access the tables (like in myphpadmin, for example) you could import and export tables, meaning you could grab all the old stories at once and put them here.

People are more than welcome to take whatever they like from the roleplay forums (and the main forums as well), I stated that much. Unfortunately, the database is formatted for phpbb and wouldn't work on this one. I can however create text documents from the tables which can easily be copied and pasted. Just let me know, I can get whatever you like moved over.

I approve of importing at least a couple. At least the deserted island one. I like the idea of it although we could revamp it a bit.

I think at least a few of your more current ones would be nice. That way it gives those of us who haven't been around a chance to see how you structure things (working examples are always nice). I've been part of the same Sailor Moon-ish loosely based rp for 14 years now so I'm a bit out of the loop for how things may have changed.
(or more of I've lost touch with what a normal rp is supposed to be; ones that don't involve sailor scouts from another galaxy piloting mechs from eight different animes mixed with dbz, tenchi muyo, thundercats, etc. It literally looks like we took everything airing on cartoon network at the time and made an rp out of it and added a dash of random tv shows and video games for good measure.)

Personally, I would like to continue Mass Interview and Honor thy Father if at all possible. Those two were a lot of fun. The tournaments also had a lot of potential, even though they never really got off the ground.

I wouldn't mind giving the storylines I started with the Rocket Girls making an accidental landing on Merida and Shuang's first mission for Mithril another try. Is anyone else really interested in giving those storylines a try though? I think a big issue is getting some momentum going. (I haven't been great at that myself but now that I've survived back to back convention weekends I'd like to try to get the ball rolling.)
I also got some of my characters involved in the Mission: School and Island threads back on the old board. Anyone up for doing anything with those (with the Island thread it might be worth doing some sort of spin off taking certain elements but ditching others)?
Anyhow, as mentioned I think a big things will be getting some momentum going.

I started copying the Island Thread from jh but wowza! That's a huge thread. I'd be afraid to post all of that at once here or on any board for that matter. LOL Maybe we can do a summary instead. Also if you don't want to wait for me, there's a nifty little printer button at the top of the forum that puts a page into print-friendly mode. Makes it easy to copy things over.

I went ahead and saved all of HTF on a WordDoc for you rookie ^^ I figured you might want to keep it going since things had only just picked up when you were shipped off. We can re-start it anytime, so just say the word and we'll work something out ^^

I still don't have access to the chat (new laptop is taking its time to arrive) -has there been any further movement with regards to restarting some of the old RPG threads (or starting new ones)? As I indicated previously I wouldn't mind rebooting a couple of the storylines I started if people were up for participating in them (I might even be able to get one of them going again this weekend). Or if those threads aren't to your tastes there were a few threads other people started that I wouldn't mind participating in if they got going again.
Anyone got any plans?
