Also, rating. Like, PG or G or PG13 or R or anything in between? I think that would help since a lot of young people (including me) want to keep their innocence. It would also help for what people choose what to respond in the chat forum. And also, maybe there should be a "Kick" or "Unkick" option for the people who have made the thread so if someone is being abusive on the chat then they can simply boot the user out. It would be a good thing to put on all chat forums, actually. Sorry if my ideas are stupid, you don't have to take my advice, I'm just putting it out there as a suggestion and nothing more.
I think that the kick or a kind of uninvited button would be good..and if you were inviting someone into an rp you could just click a button or something like that..ratings would be good too
I think the main thing we want are
• a button to be able to invite and kick people in/out if RPs
• a way to sort RPs based on age ratings
• an inbox like thing to sort RPs we have joined
• a way to rate it when making the RP
• a way to use keyboard shortcuts or a list of Notebook.ai keyboard shortcuts
• a notification that tells us when someone commented on our RPs
• for the comments of other players to show while we are still typing our own
• for a notebook.ai app which lets us navigate through all the forums without us having to manually type the URL in the search box
Yeah, like I think instead of posts it should be set up kind of like a messaging app? It sends it show
I'm always having to go back and edit my post because someone sends something while I'm typing and I don't see it until after I hit Reply. And I agree, there should be an Inbox-like thing for rp's that you've responded to/are following.
I think familiarity is probably the best way to go - when I was starting out roleplaying I had been kind of stalking the whole "roleplaying" thing for a year but I couldn't quite figure out how it worked in a sense of how to do it or really most things for that matter. I feel like familiarity is probably pretty good because that way someone who was like me and didn't know how to do it and by extension almost what it was? Like it was a word people tossed around but at a time it seemed too complicated to find something that I, as a beginner, could join without it going over my head.

To that end you could add a rating to the title of the thread (ex: [PG-13] "RP Title here"), then someone can search for a rating and find all the RPs with that rating.
It's not exactly what your asking for, but it should work in the mean time.
I think that having a drop-down tab off to the side that lists the one that the user participates in/follows/made would be nice. It would make it so that they can easily locate the ones that they can't remeber the name of, and the ones that were burried by newer rps…. I actually think that it would be a good idea to have this feature across all boards.

Well We were wanting a sort of ‘inbox’ for th RPs but a drop down menu would also work I’m guessing
I think that having ratings based on how graphic the content will be would help.
We talked about this above and had a temporary soloution put forth lol

I really like the “Kick/Unkick” idea. It gives more weight to “If you break the rules, we will *ask* you to leave."
I personally think genre would be the best, just so role players can try out role plays knowing what type of stuff it will have so they won't have to read through every single post, and I think familiarity wouldn't work quite as well because unexperienced role players could be like, “Yeah, I think an expert rp would be fun. I'm gonna join that,” then downgrade the quality of all the sections.
I like the genre/familiarity categories.
Maybe also be able to filter it, like role plays you've commented in will pop up at the top, and then most recent below those
Thank you everyone for the suggestions. I've heard you all and can't wait to implement some of these features. :) There are now a few genre-specific RP boards as well as a beginner-oriented board and this general board (which you're more than welcome to keep using if you'd like, even if the genre matches one of the new boards), so I'd like to transition this thread into more discussion on features that would make RPing more enjoyable for you all. There are only so many hours in the day, but I'd love to keep making the forums better and better.
One small note that was requested in this thread: in addition to the new boards there's also an "Unread" link in the top-right of the forums (if you have any unread notifications) that lists all your RPs (and other threads) in a single place, which should mean you shouldn't have to click around between boards except when you're looking for a new RP – and hopefully the new genre boards help you find a nice RP for you!
Thanks again, everyone. Excited to make these boards better and better. More features are coming soon. :)
THANK YOU andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer)! Everything looks great so far! THANK YOU FOR BUTTONS THAT SHOW WHEN ROLEPLAYS HAVE BEEN USED!!! AND GENRES! I could go on, but that would take a while. Everything is appreciated!
Maybe you could add a feature that allows you to pull up the chats you're in
Because sometimes to pull back an rp from the dead I have to sift through a billion pages and ultimately miss the thread I was looking for and then have to start all over again.
Could you make it easier to use forums on mobile? Maybe make notebook.ai an app?

Yes, this would be great! Like, a "Subscribed To" button or something.
Could you maybe have an icon that shows who's officially joined the rp and/or who is online, that would be very helpful in telling if we should continue.
I think the main things we want are:
• a button to be able to invite and report people in RPs
• an inbox like thing to sort only RPs we have joined
• a way to rate it when making the RP
• a notification that tells us when someone commented on our RPs
• for the comments of other players to show while we are still typing our own
• for a notebook.ai app
^I agree with all of these^
It would be nice to kinda have a drop-down menu of sorts. Such as, we could have one for levels, like beginner, expert, average, and any.
Maybe also have a seperate thing for one-on-ones?
Being able to remove unwanted people from roleplays?
A "block" or a "report" feature in the three-dot menu would be helpful
Being able to remove unwanted people from roleplays?
ya i agree, also i wish there was a "delete" button for old rps that you don't want around (but only the person that made the rp would be able to delete it) bc i've seen a lot of rp's that are like "ignore, i cant delete this," and stuff like that
i also like @Born_Confuzzled_Chameleon idea with a separate place for one-on-ones
I think genre and topic would be best, so that newer inexperienced people, like me, can find a spot to join in more easily.
Would anyone else support a separate thread for horror roleplays? Or am I a monster for wanting a nice 'lil place to throw my characters into the bleakest situations possible?
