Okay, since people have been complaining for a long time:

Yeah, I'm kinda worried that if this separate RP secret comm thing goes through, everyone's just gonna find something else to be all "OMG NO MORE ___ SECRETS" to be annoyed at...

Fanfic secrets! Fanart secrets! Yaoi secrets! Anime-only-no-manga-no-spoilers-Japanese-with-fansubs-only secrets!

fandomsecrets: the new Christianity?

That would be kinda awesome! Like lol we created a pseudo religion!

Except it wouldn't really be awesome, but you know what I mean.

[subversive.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes it would. Then we'd have to have massive amounts of fighting between the groups and attempts to "convert" each other. Fun!

And yes, I know what you mean. XD It'd suck if it did happen, but if the people voting "Yes" win... bleargh. :/

It's more like the new fanficrants, from that concept. And I think we want to stay away from that possibility as much as humanly possible.

[subversive.livejournal.com]

Damn, you're right. There goes my moment of genius. And yes, I think so too. Those mod tags are fun as hell, though. D: AND HAY, maybe then we'd finally make it to Fandom Wank. Not that I've been wondering why we haven't already/hoping we would. I'm a terrible person. XD;

But this exact thing did happen with FFR -- a lot of people started ranting about Kingdom Hearts after KH2 was released. The members bitched, so someone went and formed khfanficrants, which is a horrible offshoot, and a terrible comm to boot. And you know, people still ranted about KH at FFR, because the offshoot comm was so awful, and members still bitched, but really, it's an open comm, what do you do? Go tell the mods someone's ranting about something you don't like?

I think the same concept applies here. We could make an offshoot comm, but would it really help the problem any?

[subversive.livejournal.com]

IT REALLY WOULDN'T HELP. I mean, HELL. If we had an RP secret comm, it'd be like some unholy lovechild of bad_rpers_suck and ths community, but since both those communities already exist, it'd just die out and people would migrate back. That and people who enjoy the regular fandom stuff and the RP stuff would go and join both communities and arrrggh spam. No. Much better the way things are.
