What's up everybody! Thought I'd bring over the ad for my own board, Roleplayers Paradise. It says we've got 70 registered members but there's ever only 3 of us online in a day. We're always looking for people as we get close to the 7th anniversary of the board being online, so if you're looking for a small place, we're your corner of the internet!

Hey guys! I just want to make a little thing here because I completely dropped the ball at Thursday being RPs seventh birthday.
When I started Roleplayers Paradise way back in 2010, I didn’t think it’d last more then a few months. The first months were rife with drama both started by others and by myself which I never intended. I’m saying it now when I should have years ago, but to everyone the drama affected, I deeply apologize for the rash and brash ways I handled things.
RP has had a lot of ups and downs over the years. We went from nearly 25 active users a week down to four consistent users for almost 4 years, and now there’s only three of us that are on everyday. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy my board, I really do, but at the start I wasn’t sure. Ask Kate, I was sure we weren’t going to last 6 months.
We’ve made a lot of changes to images that are on the individual forums, added and removed sections that did/didn’t need to be there, made things a little more friendly around the site, and there’s really no drama anymore. We’ve had a couple of troublemakers that won’t be mentioned because that ain’t how I do things, but they were dealt with quickly by the moderation staff at the time and when I’m not online.
I’ve seen boards come and go. I was on the original Power Ranger Empire and RangerCrew, HenshinJusticeUnlimited, as well as RangerVision back when it was still RangerTalk, so I’ve seen boards change hands, brands, servers, etc., and I’ve seen boards run by friends die and fall by the wayside like Sweet Escape where I first got the drive to want to make my own board and Writers Intuition that helped me remember my love of writing, but in all of that, I still called them ‘home’ when I’m online. I learned a lot of what to do and what not to do from those places, and listening to people when I needed to is a big part of why I think Roleplayers Paradise has lasted as long as it has.
So thank you to everyone that’s been a part of this wonderful board in the past and everyone that’s going to be a part of it in the future. Thank you to the wonderful staff both past and present that’s made a difference in and on the board, my wonderful girlfriend Kate/Black Siren, who kept telling me who kept telling me not to worry, Jesse/Kyle who continues to be an excellent mod with the easiest damn job in the world, Anne/Daenerys who was a mod for over three years until her departure. And to everyone that’s had a hand in making the site what it is, I hope you’ll watch us continue to grow and expand out over the next several years.
Sincerely, Daniel Mikel, Owner of Roleplayers Paradise

Our members have made a total of 305940 posts We have 72 registered members The newest member is lerls11206 It's been ten years. Ten years since I asked a friend to help me put my first board together. Ten years since drama started nearly instantly. It's been ten long, tiring, fun, and interesting years. We've had mods come and go, friends come and stay and then leave. I've seen friendships rise and fall and become unrepairable. Some of our previous mods have been Hailey, Ashy, and Daenerys. We added a special group, "Legacy Mods", for those we've lost that used to be a big part of the board, and the only person there is Beth. I don't want to add anymore names to that category. I'm going to be honest, I never thought that the board would get to double digits. I thought, with the way things went in the beginning, that we wouldn't even last to the end of 2010. But we stuck it out, stuck with it, weeded out the problems (even though more would pop up when it was just starting to get quiet....) and here we are 10 years later. I'm genuinely grateful I get to have this place to play all the time. It may not have 200 people on all the time like other places, but the few of us that are on all the time are the ones making it work. I'm so glad we made it this far. Happy birthday, RP!
