Seeing as I've been Cody from the beginning and currently hold two titles, I would defiantly not want to start over. I'd like to hear WDS's idea tbh. if it's good, then I see no problem in moving and having a WWE and TNA rp in the same forum.

I say a definite yes to WWE characters only.

WWE moving to IRP? I don't know, really. Thing is though the prime reason I moved it here was so we could reach a lot of newbies/diary makers who visit this forum often. And shit, it worked. When I was chairman, dozens of newbies were joining every week, all guys who were simply visiting for the purpose of diaries. To a certain extent, diaries are a bit similar to role-plays, so some of them felt at ease. But yeah, there was a lot of newbies joining, and many of them turned out to be good and showcase their talent.

Now, you move this thing back to IRP... the same community's gonna be involved around it. Well not necessarily but thing is, there's gonna be a lot less "new people". It's always gonna be us. Us, us, us, until the point where the thing just dies.

The TNA role-play fits way more over there than that fits here because that fed's an evolved aspect of a role-play. This thing is basically what it is, not much will boost if we go back over there.

There's also the prospect of Bri's head exploding if the IRP PPD hits 100.

What did I tell you guys about the diary

I don't remember....You tell me

Apologies for not RP'ing yet this week. Hopefully one will be up soon. Also Homicide, you forgot to put Awesome Kong(heel) on the roster

IRP is somewhat a hole I would have to agree. However I don't see why WWE Game and TNA couldn't co - exist in the forum. However I'm not quite sure about the idea of TNA being strictly TNA and WWE Game being strictly WWE. I've also had a few ideas pitched towards me which were basically NWAish and I in no way shape or form want to to go down that road again.

Again, it's up to you guys.

Personally, I think WWE and TNA can co-exist in the IRP forum, but when activity dips as it inevitably occurs in every RP I've ever been a part of, it will be THAT much worse because there are two promotions with little activity, and in that aspect, it reminds me of the disaster that was NWA. Different federations, disasterous activity.

The problem with WWE Game and IRP and even EWR where you guys have had downturns is the fact that we have the same people. It's been years since I've seen a decent advertising rampage, and this is why when the 2008 noobs come into the Smackdown 2009 forum, we should have some sort of an avenue set up there to link them to the RP. Perhaps an informational, Q&A thread? Advertising is what is missing from any RP nowadays, IRP is really enclosed due to its status as a sub-forum, and as a result, things don't always get promoted as they should be.

It's time to take things up a notch as this year goes on. I even suggest asking TLA (I know he's usually against roleplaying), it's worth a shot though to see if he will let us put a similar informational thread in the Wrestling Forum.

I do think you will have your naysayers who think it's a waste of time. But if we can attract one new person to it, then wouldn't it be worth it? As for the move, I'm personally not sure, especially with TNA catching-on if it's a good idea. I'm willing to go with the flow. You guys want to move? IRP's always gonna be open to the original RP. If not, IRP will still be open if things should change down the road.

My head, by the way, is doing fine, thanks

Yo yo.

Well I'm not sure if Dman is even interested after his above post, but I thought having each rp just for characters from the company on which it is based, seems like an idea to prevent burnout. It also seems to me as though the whole community would be working together, and who knows, maybe one day we could have 'Exibition cards', and have the two rp's intertwining for special occaisions.

I have other things in mind in terms of advertising, I just seriously think that moving across to IRP is the right thing to do. I'm also happy for other people with ideas for advertising to PM me them, or catch me on msn.

There's no doubt WWE Game and TNA can coexist together, it's moreso about the activity and the movement I'm concerned about if it was moved to there. But yeah it's your call at the end of the day, we could try the "advertising" one more time. Hahaha.

I suppose whoever becomes mod in this forum(if they even promote one..) should advertise it here as well.

Have no useful thoughts about a possible move, so I'll keep on topic.

Does anyone want to feud with Jay Lethal until WrestleMania? I think CM Punk (Christian Cage fan) is a bit inactive. Lethal is a heel, with a gimmick of Arrogant/Old School Heel. Anyone interested, please PM me. We can discuss a storyline.

Well, I'll let you all sort that out. In my opinion, we should split characters and keep WWE Game here, but that's just me. Only problem will be when the burnout happens. To be honest, I think the one in SvR forum is unneeded one that may cause problems.

Anyway, I'm more worried about the Money in the Bank storyline for right now. If there is anyone who plans to enter into Money in the Bank (I'd like to know if there will be qualification round or just entering in, management, please clear that up for me) could message me IF I get in it since I have an idea to get everyone over heading into Mania.
