Is it just me or have loads of topics suddenly dredged themselves up from the RP archives for no apparent reason? Some of the more modern RPs seem to have been pushed off the first page.
I looked through some of them to see if there was any edits that might have bumped them, but I can't see any...for eg, one topic (a short one) only has a single edit in it at all, and that's in the post of a guy who hasn't visited the forum in years. And I don't think he's in all the threads that have been bumped anyway, so it couldn't have been him.
Anyone know what's going on?
There was a spam attack last night, and the RP Guild was one of the places that got hit. The spam got taken care of, but I guess the bumps caused by it didn't o.o
Spam attack is an understatement. They filled several of the forums with the same topic, 20 or so times. It was an invasion. I really hope they were ip axed.
Sounds like a regular night on the town!
Why do I always miss the fun =
Cause you go to sleep early. You really need to stay up late.
Ooooooh kk. Darn, wish I could have been on too, I'm hungry and I like spam...goes well on toast.
Ah well...
Some dork mass replied. I believe I gave him his punishment in the character profiles thread, of course I was short on time what with leveling my Umbreon so I just insulted his mother or something of that nature.
Annoying, I know, but there's no real harm done, you know what RPs you were in and EZbarf bumps crap all the time. /shrug

Why not just delete all the old ones that got bumped?
It's not like they were serving a purpose anymore.
EDIT: If posterity is what's keeping them around, shunt them over to an archive.
An RP archive could be a good idea, since it will stop super old RPs from being bumped by newbies/spammers etc and if they need to be revived just pm the appropriate mod to move them back. Movement could be done for RPS that have no posts for over 3-4 months.
Indeed, but with less (This post is missing and can not be restored) and that it actually gets used
Anyone volunteering to make me a list of the RP's that need to be moved?

Everything beyond "The Great Escape V.2" for a start.
Halfway down Page 2.
I'd almost go with everything after the first page. It's not like the RP Guild is as active as it once was.
Thats not a list, SX. I don't even see that RP.
You do realize just how many RPs we're talking about here, right? I count around 200 off the the top of my head. I think it would be a better idea if people just follow the rules. This just makes excess work for the staff and more things for people to complain about when they don't think an RP should be moved and such.
Wow, my Glaceon's topping 220 hp and it's barely past level 50.

I don't mind either way. It's not like the back pages are hurting anything.
How come I don't see any topics on the link Kaze?
It's an unused archive forum, Chao.
