Pls share your ocs in comments I’ll draw them if I have free time lmao Introduction Hi, bros! It's p e w d i e p i e. I honestly have no idea what to say. PIA is 3 years old now, apparently. I have no idea how to feel about that. I'm one of the admins and I have to make a speech but I have no idea what to say. PIA has been a very bumpy ride from the start but I want to make some perspective and talk about the success of the website in retrospect. Let's start with a short history lesson. The start, or why the PIA is better than PriPara Fanon The start of the website was rather great. A lot of happy go lucky people joined the community for roleplaying and it was probably the main appeal of the site. Due to the fact that Fanon had people who would just write their own stories, PIA had the clear big overall AU of such and still allowed for individual plots. The big amount of roleplaying and working together for some story was great. This era marks the start of lot of events that carried their way into other eras. Mid 2016, or the start of drama As expected (by me at least), a lot of bs was caused during that time. People started getting annoyed at others and making private roleplays. Some were offended while others were glad. Some dumb conflicts happened because of misunderstandings. The overall atmosphere became tense and depressing. This era marks the "First Fall of PIA". The outcomes, or the new wave Thanks to the huge amount of drama some users were annoyed and left/became inactive. Obviously, the site couldn't recover from that. As the depressing state continues, we get a wave of new users. These people were quite enthusiastic and wanted to have fun. Older users made an effort for them to enjoy the experience and it was quite great for a while. The inactivity phase, or the second fall of PIA So, the anime has ended. People have buzzed for a while. Some have grown out of it, some have moved on. Many users have lost the interest in the site and were barely visiting it. Hanako tried to bring the place back to life but it worked only partly. Some people are active but most of the time site is dead. This era is current. Conclusion, or did PIA succeed? As I want to believe, PIA is a huge success as a roleplaying community. It didn't reach the intended demographic, but it was quite fun and entertaining. Everything is bound to die off so I think it's pretty impressive PIA is 3 years old now. Is it possible to bring it back to life? Probably. Well, if everyone makes an effort, at least. Is it necessary? Depends on your opinion, really. Influencial users Awards @everyone, or sorry for the ping ‘’’I’d like to thank every single user for being a part of the community.
