roleplay – to assume the attitudes, actions, and discourse of (another), esp. in a make-believe situation in an effort to understand a differing point of view or social interaction.
Roleplaying. I used to love it. There was a solid year where I was roleplaying at Sims Roleplay Forum everyday, it would be my highlight after homework. That place was so much fun for me. I met so many great people, and made two best internet friends from it. I loved reading different storylines and meeting new chacters.
But soon there was drama that made that place so uncomfortable to be at. It was a bitter battle between groups and people. There was backstabbing, and name calling, and just people pushing others under the bus. It finally ended with one very bitter, long, and nasty fight. It was heartbreaking to see what was such a fun place to be, turn dead and cold.
Then there was Nouvelle Hills. A place to start of fresh and new. But even that was filled with drama when Sylvan Hollow opened. There was no comparison between the two at all. I feel so bad for everything that went on between those two communities. Both were great places to be. I know Seph and her team slaved over that forum, trying to make it as best as it could be and it truly was. I was always in awe of what they did there. And at Nouvelle Hills we worked our best on trying to make that place just as good and we kept improving and adding, improving and adding.
Now I never joined any other roleplay forum after Nouvelle Hills went down. It just wasn’t worth it to me anymore. All the figting, all the drama. It wasn’t worth it at all. This is just the internet. I understand making connections and making friends, I really do. But who are you to attack other people for starting a new roleplay site? Why do you feel the need to be so upset and angry, what does it matter really? There must be some other terrible things happening in real life to care more about. Either way if you knew who these people were, you’d probably be just as upset because it seems like you’ve done this with other roleplay forums that have popped up. It always seems like you need to be the only place, the elite.
It’s not worth it at all. It’s not worth you crying over stoyline’s. It’s not worth fighting and getting upset about. It’s fucking roleplay, this isn’t real life. Get over your cat fights. You’re letting fucking internet drama run your lives and it’s not worth it. HAVE FUN WITH ROLEPLAYING, IT’S SUPPOSED TO BE FUN. And people like this who get super protective over it make it horrible for people like me. You ruin it. Let others enjoy it. Let others be able to have fun, and let their creative juices run. Who the fuck cares where they rp? Let them just enjoy it, and maybe then you’ll be able to breathe and relax. RELAX.
NOTE: I have nothing to do with either site, it just upsets me to see that it has to come to this. People feeling betrayed and shit and crying over nothing.

I don’t know what is going down – but trust me, things will calm down after a while just like always. I’m sorry that it’s ruined for you.. I hope someday you can go back to it! You shouldn’t have to stress about others’ reactions.

Comment by Lou September 24, 2008 @ 2:01 amAnd then I realized, wouldn’t my life be so much better If I left. And when I was banned I think I did feel a bit better. I don’t think there was a huge reason for me to be banned. But I think It took a huge load off of me, sure it helped me go somewhere else but some people weren’t very nice. So I think Im kind of happy to be gone. And I agree with u.
I honestly don’t know much about what’s going on either,but i do think it must’ve something to do with some of the flickr uploads i saw these last two days…But i’m not involved nor i know much so i wouldn’t add anything interesting from my part..
BUT i want to add my two cents in another way,on a more general stance.I agree when you say things should be fun,i also would like to apply this very same thought to the simming community as a whole,because i feel like anger is really taking over in EVERY part of this sims 2 community,and i hate it.Because SIMS SHOULD BE A FUN GAME TO PLAY and nothing else.In whatever form we want to use them,roleplay,editing,doing legacies and so on.So i hope nothing’s ruined for you,i talked to you through chatzy sometimes and i believe you’re a nice person,so don’t let this get at you.

I have no idea what’s going on, and I’m superglad of that. But all I can say is- this community is bad for one’s mental health. Moving away from SCF and even flickr has given me back sooo much peace of mind, it’s like a weight lifted off my shoulders I never quite realized was there. And like Jadeness says- we get so caught up in the petty bullshit of this fandom that we forget it’s supposed to be relaxing and fun.
I hope you find peace with this soon. *hugs*
