Ok a brief history on the Roleplague: The Roleplague was a severe case where users made Roleplays that were a) Crud, b)Labeled Rp, c) Not tagged with the roleplay catogory and d)mere stumps. These Role viruses were quickly spreading and it came down to me, White and other admins to try to stop it. I came with the community zone as a way to lighten up the roleplague and free up the hotspots from the constant roleplays after roleplays. I believe due to the fear of another Roleplague outbreak people are afraid of creating new roleplays. Also in addition since people who were pros at making roleplays stopped creating them this lead to a massive decline to good examples being set by these roleplay pros. I myself am also trying to create new and better formulas and stories for roleplays to hopefully set up new standards and avoid the dreaded edit conflicts.
