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? Or when people actually created characters from scratch, not just using a premade?
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?
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:
1. Allowed: 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 requests. There are enough places for them elsewhere. End of story.
2. Games that have excess storyline/lyrics/random/secrets/other useless subcomms 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 became prevalent. We're looking for games with a main community, an ooc, and maybe an extra subcommunity or two, for logs, character backstory, or something else useful. You must have a threading community/forum and it needs to be easily found. If your game is rejected due to this rule, you can feel free to plead your case here. We may have overlooked something in your post.
3. Don't be rude. This means no commenting posts insulting people or games. Commenters like that will be banned.
4. Please define a descriptive subject. It makes it easier to find your post in the sidebar. Your post will not be accepted if you do not add a subject line. You will not be banned however, and can feel free to post again, with a subject. 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.
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, Inksome, 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!
Games We Co-Mod: The Durmstrang Institute, set in the Black Forest of Germany, where fairy tales were born, where storytellers get their inspiration, and where some of the most beautiful and the most deadly creatures are found. Students have always been safe inside the school walls. Until now. With an unseen threat looming ever closer students are in danger, and not just from each other.
In the tradition of European wizarding schools, American witches and wizards started their own school, after the disaster that was the Salem Witch Trials. As times grew modern, American witches and wizards became immersed in Muggle culture. The cultures can be almost inseparable at some junctures, with one notable fact: the Muggles still don't know. But governments change and not everyone is trustworthy. How long before someone lets this secret loose, and what havoc will it wreak?
