Finding forums

What has been the best way to find new forums? It used to be you could find postings on resource sites but I'm seeing a lot of those go by the waistside unless I'm not finding the currently active one.

 

Most of the RP Resource Sites have moved to Discord. Same as a lot of forums, tbh. I know several of my friends have moved their stuff to Discord as opposed to forum RPing.

 

A lot of them have moved to Discord or Tumblr directories. The latter-I've found--are for JCINK forums.

A couple large Discord directories are:

• FINDRPs (https://discord.gg/zyQkerDT9T)
• Roleplay Central (https://discord.gg/roleplaycentral)
• The Roleplay Garden (https://discord.gg/rpgarden)

These 3 are 18+. There are sorted advertisement channels, various discussion channels, and over 400 users. They are pretty active! And (in my experience) happy to help or answer questions :)

 

Rpg-D is a good site. It's still around so you should consider looking it up. That's how I found this website.

 

I would say, just doing what you did. Asking online! There's still lots of people that run smaller forums that cater toward role playing (shameless plug: like mine! [link prematurely redacted by author].

 

I still use RPG-D. Found RPG-Index which was helpful. I agree a lot has gone to Discord. Word of mouth is still the gold standard I think, but it's hard to branch into new fandoms/settings that way.

 

I wanted to update, I found another great role playing directory site, especially if you're into anime/manga like I am: Pixel-perfect.

 

pixel perfect, Tumblr blogs (animanga-nexus, jcink tinder, etc), other forum sites advertising sections, and the ones linked above that are on discord! there's also things like jcink directory and so forth. rpg-d is also a big well known one!

 

I tried looking for RPG-Index, but all I came up with was a video game RPG blog.

 

This might be obvious, but advertising sections on boards that you're a part of is a good way to find RPs that have similar vibes, usually.

I've also found glancing at the discord statuses of other folks in the discord groups for RPs I'm part of can be a good way to find them! Some RPers use their statuses to advertise the RPs they run, or ones they moderate.
