I agree, there needs to be a balance, but now we've swung so far in the other direction we've ended up with the same problem of nothing really happening.
Except now we have the added bonus of the OOC boards looking like a bunch of Xbox live chat transcripts.
We need a chosen one to bring balance to the Force.
A lot of that has to do with how people operate in the RP. We have a very limited amount of rules - mindsets need to change more than rules. That's not to say rules can't change, but if people want to see change then they need to start looking in the mirror too.
If all anyone sees is competition, perhaps they should take a good look at their RPs and ask why there isn't more of a coherent site storyline. Because if I was to try to explain what Dawn of the Republic is about, I wouldn't be able to do it. I could tell you a series of events that have happened, but a 1-2 sentence elevator pitch/meta summary? No dice.
That's why, in my retirement from Head Admin, I've chosen to focus on story development over site management.
