a long time ago, 10 years to be precise, there was a website created by the name of flarping.com.
the premise of the site was a roleplaying social media site where you created a sort of myspace-esque page for your character, made status posts, replied to your friends posts, dmed back and forth in character. flarping started as a site for homestucks, but as more and more profiles were made from different fandoms, the site eventually shifted to hivetale.com! (sort of like the msparp -> mxrp transition)
the wayback machine only has screenshots of the login page, which looked like this:
apparently the site got a revive in 2018 (which i'd love to hear about too!) i had no idea about! it's since died again.
hivetale.com has maaany more screenshots, nothing that i could find of actual threads. the home page looked like this, pretty standard form posting from account in character that shared interactions with each other.
anyways!!! i was wondering if anyone used either of these sites and if this was a blast from the past! i'd love to hear any stories you might have! whenever the topic of homestuck and roleplay comes up in conversation, i always bring up flarping.com just in case. but no one ever knows what i'm talking about or enjoyed this little community while it was around in 2015!
