A subject I hope a lot of you here can relate to: frustration and disappointment at days' and weeks' and years' worth of role-plays snuffed out in an instant due to a database crash or server failure. RP has been a passion of my life for many years now, and having my home base of SonicVerse Team have its message board wiped three or four seperate times, taking a lot of our epic stories along with it, finally got to me, and I decided to do something about it.
Hosted at the collaborative artistic community of Crystal Plains, the RPTPS takes in role-plays from anyone willing to submit them, reformatting them into an easy-to-read table format in HTML, and providing them a safe and stable home where they are no longer in fear of falling to the Internet abyss. Since this board here recently experienced its own loss in the ezHack, I hope some of the players here can appreciate the effort going through into this.
The RPTPS project was just released as 'beta', meaning its still very rough around the edges and is in need of a lot more features to make it fully operational; but the intent is apparent.
If any of this sounds relevant to your interests, please take a look and leave your feedback. Lots of help is still needed to bring this project onto its feet, so please don't hesitate to offer your expertise.

Man if only this was around before the EzHack. 
Wow this sounds very useful. Maybe you should link it at the RP Guild or something.

Would that be acceptable? I wouldn't want to clutter up the rp board with my meta stuff (especially since I posted it here and in the SPA adverts topic already...)
In any case, just wanted to throw out that I've finished archiving all nine chapters of our first new epic campaign, "Bad Blood", which is accessible from the link in the OP, if anyone's interested or wants an idea of how this all works - the CPWiki, RPTPS, and old archives working together.
I don't see why not, the RP Guild is virtually inactive and all you'd be doing is pushing off an rp that hasn't been posted in like 6 months + to page 2.
Glad to have at least a few voices of support for the project. If anyone has RPs, either from this board, another board, or something over IM, that they want archived, feel free to speak up and I'll get it on the RPTPS as soon as possible.
I thinks it's an idea. But with my spottiness around anymore getting involved just ain't gonna happen.
