I just had a look at the entire RP board. There are only four threads which are OOC discussion and three of those date from 2011. Literally everything else are in-games RPs which have been shared on the forum. They happen in game, they are just copied there for people to see. I don't get how these could detract from interacting in game since they are in-game interactions by themselves.
If people find it easier to just reply on the forum with a roleplay on their own instead of reacting to the RP in-game with in-game actions and messages, then gameplay has been removed from the game.
