Hi there!
I'll put it to ya this way; I'm a mod on this site, been here for years, and a lot of the time *my* RP requests have gone completely unanswered, or answered by flakey-people.
That's the nature of a forum, and forum-based RPing. It's been like this since PRETTY MUCH the beginning of time. I mean, you can go even further back to oldschool Gaia Online and sites like ADISC and TBN; sometimes, threads just die.
RPing is, for all intents and purposes, a loose, collaborative storytelling method. Using that creative energy has its limits and, for some folks, getting to a point where they're just tired and need a while to recharge can come more quickly than for others.
What I CAN say is, if you like RPing but find others to be too flakey; try writing a full fledged story! It's a lot of fun, and the planning can be completely minimalist or REALLY detailed. I've done both, and I really enjoy the craft! Plus, it gives you a good opportunity to work on buildup, storytelling concepts, elaborating on descriptions, and so on. It REALLY is a lot of fun, and still lets you contribute to the community!
