BEFORE YOU POST, PLEASE READ THE RULES, ESPECIALLY RULE 4

Need to talk to a mod? Comment here rather than PM one of us.

Do you miss the old days of role-playing, when people worked for story lines and didn't expect things handed to them on a silver platter? Do you miss the days when games were about posting threads and logs, not LULZ AIM chats and macros? Or about content and plot, not about popular faces and who has the best icons or layouts? Remember when the word 'critter' didn't get thrown around?

Do you struggle to find places to advertise when communities like

rps and

pbads push your ads off the page within hours? Do you wish you could find games like that still and don't know where to look for them? Welcome to Old School RP. This is the ad community you've been missing.

This community is moderated; here are the rules for posting:

RULES:
1. Allowed: blanket game ads and resource/tutorials communities. If you not sure, just ask! NOT ALLOWED: Celeb communities, Twilight RPs, games with storyline/lyrics/random/cryptic comms, PSL/wanted character requests. There are enough places for them elsewhere. End of story.

2. Games that have excess sub-communities are not what we're looking for. They tend to distract from actual ROLE-PLAYING. This is for games like the ones that existed before these sub-communities, especially storyline comms, became prevalent. We're looking for games with a main community, an ooc, and maybe an extra sub-community or two, such as for logs, plot, or media. This does not include storylines, random, lyrics, cryptic, or things of that nature. You must have a threading community/forum and it needs to be easily found.

3. Don't be rude. This means no commenting posts insulting people or games. Commenters like that will be banned.

4. Please place the name of your game in the subject line. It makes it easier to find your post in the sidebar when we look for past posts. Your post will not be accepted if you do not add this subject line. You can feel free to post again, with a subject, but if we have to ask you to do this three times, we ask you not to post any longer and you will be removed. Rejoining to post again after this will get you banned. On that note, no one liner posts. Tell us something abut your game, not just the community name over and over or something random that has nothing to do with the game. "~gamename lol i had beans for dinner :-[" posts will not be accepted. Please no images bigger than 600px without a cut!

5. Do not post more than once a week. If your ad is still on the page, please don't post it again. We will no longer be deleting old posts. Do not flood the comm with ads for your game. You may delete your previous ad and repost only if it has been a week since your last post. Do not delete simply to repost more than once a week.

6. Please try to tag your posts. Please use the ones listed, as they're specific to the community. We'll do it for you if necessary, but it'd be easier if you do. You know what your game's about better than we do. Also, it's easier to find older posts if they're tagged properly.

Note: Any server is allowed. Here on IJ, at LJ, Scribbld, your own domains, forum sites, anything, so long as the game fits other criteria. Don't be shy about posting because your game's offsite!

Rules may be added if it becomes necessary. For now, just spread the word and advertise your old school games!
