Which I'm glad some members like that system, but I feel like those features you list as positives are all solutions to problems other members never had.
For example, the idea that I'd have to sift through someone's post history for a character just to scout them for potential RP is completely alien to me. Granted, we did Freeform back when I played so jumping into open threads and just RPing was a good way to meet people and if I wanted to know more about a character I'd just reach out to the RPer and develop a repertoire with them.
I was an admin a couple times too here. Finding relevant threads to a character was never that difficult.
If someone would rather use sub-accounts to get a read on a character, more power to them and I would never want to take that from them. I just don't see the merit of dictating people HAVE to use it. Especially when the move to Freeform play is supposed to help generate activity and flexibility for potential future members.
