Seeking RP-ers!

As everyone has no doubt noticed, the Role-Playing Games section is becoming extremely lively, with seven games in the running, old faces showing up once more, and people waiting on inspiration for their character sheets (myself included). 
This is all very well and good, but we wouldn’t want to bite off more than we can chew, do we? It would be quite sad if anyone had a shiny new idea they wanted to share, but it doesn’t take off due to other RPers being busy with already established RPGS. 
So, Ever and I would like to ask all budding game masters not to start any new RPGs for now .
We will notify everyone when we think the danger of over-saturation is past, which will probably be when the current RPGs have stabilised, and new members make their presence known in the section. 
Keep having fun, people ^__^.
Now allow me to add to what Rinn has stated. I will not lie, I am always a proud and boisterous proponent of the RPG Section, I was on Be Creative and Hortorian and I still am for Vivi. I’ve text-based role played for the past seven years, its what got me into foruming and its what kept my interest in the net. Its also, vicariously, the reason why I’m now the owner and admin of this forum. You see, I originally joined Be Creative because I wanted to better my writing, but in actuality I had been eye balling their RPG Section.

 The poor thing was so dead and pathetic and … Sad. So before I knew it I caught myself writing up a guide, then helping, then I was promoted to RPG Moderator and totally energized the section.

 I’m proud of the forumers that have come out of that project, and I’m proud of the strong unit of RPG Community BC, HF and VC have maintained. I’d like to see it continue to grow. I’m 100% behind this initiative, I know how RPGs cycle, how they work, how they can lose steam so quickly, and one of the causes is lost interest when something else, something new comes about.  We have AWEsome games in the work at present, let’s focus on continuing to build the section, promote the close-knit community we have, and continue having fun.

Let’s either bring in our fellow rp-ing pals, or perhaps I can persuade some of you non rp-ers to take up the art. I’d gladly make the argument for taking it up, I’d love to talk to anyone one-on-one or in this thread to persuade you to join an RPG, so just ask.

Rambling aside, this initiative to prevent further saturation is actively in place, so if you’ve any questions feel free to ask. As you’ll note, I’m actively spreading the word.
