Okay, I apologize for this mess everyone, this is partially my fault. The idea of this RP was to increase activity, something we are getting a lot of now. But since I had put a lot of work into this (as did Asy) I decided to keep the game going. In that case, the RPs were to made in ACTIVE TOPICS. So making an RP in a place like 5000 posts! which is kind of like 1 day congratulatory topic, would not be wise. Better place might be the last one to post topic in the Insanity Forum... but that's probably TOO active. 
Anyway sorry and Asy could you search through the forums for a topic I could split your posts into? Or perhaps Alpha could do that for you.

It's probably not necessary to split them out, this isn't exactly an important topic we need to keep clean for future generations or anything.
It's just that doing this kind of a contest in an active topic is just as bad as doing it in one where nobody would be posting otherwise. The nature of this kind of RPing means there is going to be a lot of posts going back and forth between several people, and they're not going to continue to be able to come up with legitimate on-topic comments to add, as you can see here. The off-topic RP-based replies will swamp the topic itself, whether it's active or not. This can cause more damage in a topic that people actually want to read and reply to than in a mostly dead one.
I can sympathise that after putting a lot of work into a game to promote activity, it's become somewhat unneeded. Maybe it would be a good idea to just run your RPing in seperate topics in the Roleplaying boards, so that only people who are interested need to go through it. I have no problem with you playing, just that it's very distracting for anyone who doesn't want to have to.

Hm... I saw this comming a mile away. Let's change up the rules so that this doesn't involve the active topics. Simply creating a new topic and posting normal roleplay posts in there is fun enough. I'm going to split this up and move all the roleplay stuff into a new topic in the Collesuem.

The thing is, I didn't expect it to be this long. Usually, for long ones, It's in topics that you can back-and-forth in. Topics like debates, or things about sciencey stuff. Yyyyyeah.
Whatever.
Whatever.
