The RP thread has become one of the most active boards on this wiki, having more individual posts than the rest of the boards combined, and being second for having the most active discussions (behind the Skyrim board). The RP thread has become one of the most significant places on the wikia as a whole. I can understand how some people may think that the sheer popularity of the RP thread may cause other discussions to go overlooked on the Recent Activity feed. If it was possible to filter out the Roleplaying thread from that feed, I would suggest doing so. This wouldn't harm the RP thread at all, since most users that regular that thread actively check and follow their favorite threads. Any user that is dedicated enough to a topic would do so. It is possible to bypass the inconvenience the Board creates by cluttering the Recent Edits. Here is a part of one of my earlier posts.

2) Addressing all the "The RP Board spams the recent edits." and other such arguments.

First of all, this isn't a problem. This is an inconvenience. If you want to look at the mainspace but the RP threads are cluttering the Wiki Activity simply press "Ctrl + F" and type "Edit" that will hightlight everything that is not related to the Forum, as the forum activity doesn't have "edited by" written on it. You could also go to the Recent Changes and unclick the Forum filters (The filters: Board, Board Thread, etc.). Problem solved, all it takes are a few clicks and the RP Board doesn't get in the way of people that are trying to see the changes to the mainspace. Now, if you want to see the Forum activity you can go to the Wiki Activity and press "Ctrl + F" and type "Board" or "" and it will highlight what you want to see. You can change the filters on Recent changes and then use "Ctrl + F" and type "Board" or "" to find the threads related to a specific board you want to check out. Or you can simply go to the Forum and click on the Board(s) you want to check out, all the threads are listed in order of latest edits. See, the major 'problem' the RP Board causes can be solved by a few extra clicks. An inconvenience shouldn't be a reason to remove such a large part of the community.
