2 or 3 years ago, these forums were filled with quality RPGs, new innovative ideas for games, and many people, most of which had good grammar, spelling, and capitalization.
Now, I see games that are mostly copies of The Brick Wall (which most people here haven't even been here at that time), RPGs just throwing you into a game, with no story or intro whatsoever, and the lack of good writing techniques.
Complaining about the current state of forum games the way you did is not a forum game (just FYI about thread placement).
The Brick Wall
I've never heard of a forum game with that name, but if you think it's good, then you should provide a little description of what it's about so that someone could create a game like it. This could potentially increase the quality of forum games.

I've seen that too, and the ones I like seem to die out quickly. Therefore, I have a theory which I will detail below:
The Decreasing Forum Game Quality Theory: The people that make good games are unable to keep them going because of inconsistent activity. The people with consistent activity make bad games, so those are the ones that survive longer, at least until the players lose interest. Therefore, there is an inverse relationship between activity and game quality.
Solution: The relationship needs to be reversed. That is, the quality of the games made by consistent people needs to improve.
Bluydee, I remember you played Impending Zombie Apocalypse. Why don't you play it anymore? It was one of the games that HAD and awesome story, I had JUST started my apocalypse. You should come back. PLZ! 8I
I'd make some quality role plays and rpgs and such but when I tried them on a different website they died quick...
Just because a forum game failed on a website does not mean it will fail on this site. Therefore, it is worth it to make quality forum games and try to keep them active.
HOLD IT! i have asolution... to solve the problem, we create a "clan" or club or what ever you call it. the Forum Gamers; this group of people are veterian and experianced Game hosts, and gamers. this group of individuals are to help all people who create games, to incourage new ideas, and discourage remakes.
that doesn't sound like a bad idea, but the problem with that is how you can tell the difference, how you can get them to join, and how you can keep them on consistiently in order to work on their threads/give advice to those who want to make a new game.
I've done some game hosting, but I never created my own game. if you are making this clan, I'd be okay with joining.
