I'm not new to SR or DS, but I've never really tried this section. At first glance it seems to be pretty bare of open games, but I could be wrong. Is there any chance of having a stickied topic where GM's can post games that are open, going to be open, or some such? Or is there already and I've just not looked hard enough? :)

Just look for relatively recent recruitment threads, there've been several in the last two weeks.
AS recruitment closes the thread drifts off. When a game needs new players, typically they re open the thread. |

That was another question I had, how long till a post is stale? 2 days old, three? It varries on different forums I've noticed.

Stale?
I think anything more then ten days is unlikely to be revived. Otherwise, even page 2 has active forum games and threads. |

Used to be - a few months ago - that if I posted on my main topics once a day or so, they stayed pretty near the top of the page. But there have been a LOT of new games opening up lately. Now, if a game goes six or eight hours without a post, it could really sink, or even be pushed back to page 2.

And yeah, I agree with Dire - anything with no posts for 10 days - probably write it off.
I am in a game right now that I am desperately trying to keep afloat - and that has gone for over a week at least once. Not sure how long I can keep it going. |

Alrighty then, that answers my questions :). I'll just have to look out, I've got some ideas for a Samurai.

generally speaking, we aren't super excited about sticky-ing topics. Kinda clutters the place up, ya know? :)
Recruitment threads really aren't that hard to find. Try looking in the page 2 to 3 area, and check the last post date. When in doubt, jsut PM the person who started it. Some people may even let you jump in mid game. |
