You are correct, Sir. RP Ring is still alive.
It is however, not entirely well. A strange bug has cropped up that I can not fix; when you start a new message thread, there is no text window. RP Ring does have its die-hard members, who would be posting updates if we where fully operational. I periodically attempt to relay this message to the site owners.
I had considered, but not yet embarked on a mission to archive inactive guild forums - something that would be more important in the future if RP Ring becomes relevant for RP Guild recruiting. Meanwhile, if there where nostalgic posts in a guild forum that is no longer visible, it may be that they can be restored from the archive. Let me know what you are expecting to find on RP Ring, I may be able to dig it up for you.
