||SW people, believe me, we dont wanna be here invading your space, we were quiet and doing our thing on IOrbix but we are being forced to migrate and cant do shit about it.
Rule number one on SW: If you take all complaints seriously you won't last. By the way, people were using foreign languages here for as long as I can remember and nobody cared.
Sorry y’all are losing what many may have considered their online home. Hard to find a place you can feel that way about. Many of us felt at home with EP and after its loss felt a little displaced. Until SW came along. While SW is no EP, you do what you can with what you have. Hope you’re able to find a little nook here to call your own.
Yeahhhh I kinda thought the whole merger thing was an objectively bad idea, but I definitely don't blame you guys of all people, I think y'all are the victims here. I mean fuck I remember when EP shut down and a lot of us migrated to shitholes like Vent that weren't suited to our community.
That totally sucks for you guys. I know we would throw a ginormous fit if the role was reversed😅
I think to better understand who you guys are and where you guys come from, we could all benefit from a Q&A post where we can ask you a bunch of questions and vice a versa.
Like is everyone on IO RPers? Why is the main language used there Spanish? Where are most users from? How does RP on IO work? Is IO a place for social interactions or is it more for creative collaboration and entertainment? Is the current SW format workable for doing what you guys wanna do? Etc…
Don't know anything about the site or the people ,but isn't anyone welcome here?If these same people just joined up without the explanation wouldn't they be welcomed? The only thing i see that could be an issue is someone posted some pfp's from the site and they were super sexual and bordered on being underage ,yes it's just cartoons but damn it won't go over well here.
@ShellOverlord You guys could just set up your own thing if it means that much to you. It's folly to count on others. One day I expect this place to die too and I've already made my arrangements for that day.
@Jackaloftheazuresand We have options but they are... not the best, and tbh you are saying it like creating a social network is a 3 day 1 person work XD
@ShellOverlord It's apparent you have connections, I'd think if you didn't it wouldn't be much of a loss to you. Back in 2009 myself and three friends ran a wetpaint of a self insert fanfiction which gained about ninety members. We had no idea who these people were mind you but they wanted to be there. You are correct, it wasn't three days but what's preferable, building something you can rely on or staying beholden to the administrator's whimsy?
We want new people here. We need new people here desperately but the anime stuff and Spanish I don’t think will go over very well. Let’s see how it goes.
@FreestyleArt I realized a good while back, but I took one look at it and realized that was a heck no for me. As far as I know, iOrbix is run by Nuno, think Andrew is involved too.
That's fair. It may at times seem like I have an issue with you guys, but all-in-all I don't mind you lot. Really it's just that there's two different cultures wanting two different things getting forcibly smashed together which ends up with both groups getting a shit deal.
You'll find that there are those here that'll welcome you with open arms, and those who will warm up to you. Since you don't have any choice really, I hope that your time here will be better than mine, and that you have a better experience here than many of us have had over the last year or so here.
In fact, there are quite a few who don't want to be here either, but just don't have anywhere else to go yet.
