BUMP
It alright but I still don’t know how to roleplay.
What do you not understand about it? I could help you out =D
Well I’ve only been on here twice but I’m seriously tired of episode’s forums and all the cool people are here. I had to leave
I don’t know how to start a role play
You can message me and I want to something horror role play. Think about something.
Ah gotchu
Have you read this thread?
https://forum.shanniiwrites.com/t/how-to-create-an-organized-role-play/839?u=dying_dreams
Yes but I read again here in a minute.
Ah alright, if you’re confused about anything you can PM me =D
I will but right now ice cream .
I personally think that ShanniWrites Forum is a really awesome place for people like us! I’m not saying Episode Forums is bad, but the atmosphere here is really comfortable and light, better and friendly. I don’t know why either, but I found Episode Forums really stressing or heavy or something, and everytime I visit this forums, my mood gets lighter and better. Though I was hesitant at first to interact with people here, though they may even be the same people on the forums xD
Aside from that, the staffs are excellent! Though I’m not close to them, I feel like tagging them, reporting someone to them, closing threads and such will be easier because… you know, they’re literally users! They take care of you personally! It’s probably one of the best things here in the forums.
Overall, the forums is lovable. I have so much to say about it, but oh well… xD
I DO NOT INTEND TO BASH EPISODE FORUMS.
I’ll be honest when I first joined I wasn’t impressed. Someone had recommended this place to me, so I made an account in June last year. I believe that this place was still…getting on its feet? I took a scroll through posts and saw episode related things, a lot negative. Some threads were just about bashing episode. While I could tell the people meant no offense, I just got the vibe that this place just wasn’t for me.
However, after Episode decided to get rid of the RP section, I flocked over here with many others. And I have to say, I’m really impressed. This place is so much more than a 'knock off version of episode", that’s not the case at all. I can see it has grown sooo much since the last time I saw it. I love the variety of sections, and how this is a place for writers, artists, and people who just want to hang out. I’ve only been active for some days, but I can already tell this community is exceptional. People are so nice and accepting, and when one shares controversial opinions, it’s not stifled. The mods are a whole other thing! They feel like actual people, which is like a breath of fresh air. I feel like I can talk to them about anything and they will actually listen. ( I haven’t been here long and I already feel this way) Thank you for making this forum
I honestly get so mad when people say this is just the new episode… it’s not, this is shanniiwrites forums
It’s a pet peeve of mine XD
But that’s great to hear! I wasn’t online in June so can’t really relate, but I agree with the rest of your statements
yeah, I totally understand and agree. Although I probably wouldn’t have seen it that way last year
Well if you see peeps calling us a bootleg forum then ask them if they’ve actually made an account here lol, too many people judge before actually trying out our forum
d a r k m o d e
I’m really happy to hear that you feel this way and it means a lot that you have noticed how much this place has grown!
This is nice to hear, haha, as you said me and the other mods are just normal people who are here in our free time cause we enjoy being here, we just happen to have a few more responsibilities as in what we have to do, but in the end I’m still coming online to have fun and talk to friends… And for sure, like my pms are always open for everyone, no matter if you need our help or just want to talk!
Yes, love this!
Ahhh same! =D
I always felt like I had to be careful with what I had to say and half the time I didn’t even bother posting
But these forums are a lot more relaxed, I don’t feel tense or that someone’s gonna shut me down =)
I like these forums! They’re very welcoming and it’s cool how you are quickly able to make new friends! (I mean, I’m still friends with the people who I was friends with before but I’ve made new ones) I like the categories and how you’re able to talk about different things and you don’t really have to worry so much about being flagged. I just like the community here, I feel more involved then I was on the episode forums and I think that’s partly because of the way that this community is!
Also, like I think @Wingsoffire said, I like the mods and they’re actual people! Like on episode forums it’s not like mods aren’t actual people but it doesn’t feel like I could ever talk to them or really become friends with them. But with the mods and staff here, they feel like everyone else which I like! I’ve talked to some of them and they’re really nice! Sometimes I actually forget that some of the staff are staff which I guess could be a bad thing but I consider it a good thing Sometimes I guess I still feel like ahh, around mods (lol that was the best way to describe the feeling) but I don’t think that’s because of the mods here, I think that’s just because I was kind of
scared of nervous around the mods on the new episode forums so I think some of those feelings carried over and I’m still fairly new to these forums but because the mods here are so nice and I also don’t have to be worried about being flagged over something minuscule, I’m sure those feelings will go away soon!
I do have two negative points but if these things can’t be fixed easily/without spending too much money, then it’s alright. These are just things that annoy me but these forums are still great even with those two things!
But anyway, the first thing that I think @MeghanWrites mentioned was that the notifications don’t work properly. I have the discourse app and I have notifications enabled. On the episode forums (which I don’t really use anymore but I still have it on the app just in case) I get notifications. I still get these notifications when I’m not on the discourse app and when my phone is off. Also, in the notification, it lets me know who sent the message and a preview of what they said. But for some reason, on these forums I only get a notification when I’m on the discourse app (and I’ve gotten a notification like two times maybe when I wasn’t on the app but my phone was still on) and the notifications say who sent a message and what they replied to, but they don’t have a preview of what the person wrote.
The other negative thing would just be that sometimes the forums lag, like they usually lag when I’m on the zodiac game thread and several other people are on it and posting as well. I think it just happens on threads when multiple people are typing and posting. But I feel like this problem would cost money to fix so I’m alright dealing with it until the money isn’t a problem since it isn’t a serious issue.
