You embody every 'bad quality' that you listed that this site currently has. And I think it's time to wake up, this isn't a a forum solely for the purpose of DBZ Roleplaying. 75% of the people active on this site in general do not roleplay. Yes, that is the site's expressed purpose, but in practice this place is more like a community hangout, where people who have built relationships over the years come to talk about trivial shit, debate more serious things, and also, occasionally, roleplay.
If you stuck the Black Hole Thread as a sub-forum-thread thing within the Kame House, or made it something like the Kame House, then potential joinees wouldn't see it. As it is, potential joinees do not see the serious debates within the Kame House, I don't believe. So your whole point about people not wanting to join is literally mute. But if you're arguing that people would join and then leave after realizing what they are, then I'm going to say that that point is mute in practice anyways. Who do you see walking through that door? People join and never post, OOC or IC, or post for a week then vanish, before they ever even witness the confines of the Kame House. Do you think it's the asylum that scares them off, or the lack of activity, or maybe the fact that DBZ has kind of passed as a fad? People aren't coming in, we have to realize who we are, and build a community around that. It sounds defeatist, but it's the truth.
Also, look, for example, at the rage-rant that Orsalis posted towards Kaden in the Kame House. Yes that was heated, and it was kind of ugly between T. Merr (not even involved) and Orsalis. But Orsalis and Kaden worked out differences in a day that could have boiled over into other threads for much, much longer then that BECAUSE OF THE RAGE-RANT THREAD. Now obviously that won't happen every single time, but I know that there are a number of members on this site who are not particularly fond of me, and who I am not particularly fond of, but if we had a forum where we could air everything out, it must just work out something good in the end.
If you were so gung-ho about getting this site 'back on track' as a roleplaying community strictly for roleplaying purposes and one that avoided debates of any kind, then your first order of business would be to show yourself the god damn door.
I'm here because I tried to leave and people asked me to stay.
And you're right, I don't have any reason to be here. I would like to leave because everyone here is kind of a complete asshole to me for no reason. So thanks for making that even more apparent. I WILL be showing myself the "god damn door". You guys can attack each other all you want, but I'm tired of that shit, and I'm tired of you doing it to me for no reason at all. I thought you guys could be civil and debate things without being giant douchebags. I guess not.
