That may be how things work on other sites, however on this site, if you post an open thread that means that the thread is open to literally anyone for any purpose unless you specify who that thread is open to and for what purpose in the original post.I was gone for about two years. And I've rp'd all over, the open tag used to be basically 'hey, join up and let's talk etc.' Open threads also help bring in the newer roleplayers who might otherwise be nervous to ask or bug someone for approval, but that's my opinion on the matter. Typically when I do a social thread, it is an open invite for people to interact and make connections rather than fight or such.
I have no problem with the thread being death disabled considering new players are involved.It used to be that way on this site as well two years ago. Regardless, my intention was to help newer people and reintergrate myself back into the site as well. Also I wouldnt like to kill any new people lol
