I was wondering if it was okay for people to reuse other peoples rp ideas, even if the person is/has been inactive for a long time?
I personally wouldn't see an issue with it as many presently are using adversely similar ideas that have been used. Which roleplay were you considering?
Well I was thinking of some of the pregnant family ones (all 18 or older) or any other that spark interest. I k ow rule #7 said to get permission but we can't if they don't show up ya know.
That rule is a little different from what you want to do. It's more meant for people trying to post works that aren't their own or add to stories that are unfinished.
Starting a new thread with an RP plot you like that is similar to an inactive, archived thread is fine.
