Looking to help improve Aeipathy and its member experience? Thank you! We love feedback, support and any help our members provide with things like advertising and improving the Aeipathy experience. Below are the best ways that individual members of our site can help bolster member activity and site functions.
Active Posting
It sounds like an obvious one but it's worth mentioning. Aeipathy advertises itself as an active forum so if newcomers arrive to find threads fallen into inactivity our site and staffers look like we've been embellishing the truth. Help us maintain Aeipathy's appearance and reputation with new and existing members by keeping true to our
Activity System. If you're having difficulty being active or need some creative muse, check our
Plotting Plus+ page for all of our plot support features and games.
Character Engagement
If you're up-to-date with your story-telling, Taking part in our on-site OOC sections helps to improve the forum as a whole beyond the threads. The more engaged you are with your character and the characters of others, the more active and exciting Aeipathy becomes. You can improve your character development by:
On-Site
Create a
Development Page for your character(s).
Create a
Journal for your character(s).
Start an
Alternate Reality roleplay thread.
Take part in our bi-annual
AU Event (bottom of page).

Plot Discussion chats.

IC Award.

Update the
#teater-feed with your latest.

Fun and Games board.

Off-Site Promotion
Social media is important to Aeipathy for two reasons. Firstly, it can bring new members to the fold, growing our community. Secondly, more traffic to our site helps us to fund the special features and premium products we use on Aeipathy. The more 'likes' and 'follows' we can acquire, the brighter Aeipathy's future looks! Follow us on as many of the below as you can to help us grow:
Pinterest Promotion
Part of our social media group is Pinterest. You would be surprised how many visitors we have to our pins on a monthly basis! Following our account is one thing, but partaking in the creation of our Pinterest page helps even more! Build your own character's pinterest board, but also help others with currently out of play canons and family boards.
If you're 'pinning' with us a lot, you should also check out our
Contributor award - you could be entitled to shiny prizes just for helping us grow our Pinterest page!
Advertising
Aeipathy would be nothing without its members. And we get members by spreading our name and image across the roleplaying world. If you wish to help, check out our
Affiliation and Ads page for the necessary ad codes and advertising rules. We even have an
award for helping out with ad posting, just as an added bonus!
Submitting Feedback
Every month, we ask for
feedback from our community! In order to streamline comments and suggestions, our feedback form is only open between
14th-21st of every month. An announcement will be made on both the site and Discord server when the form opens and closes. Partake in the feedback to help make Aeipathy the best it can be!
Merchandising
Aeipathy is working towards being merchandised! We already have our on-site store for aesthetic bonuses and trinkets for our profiles and accounts online but wouldn't it be great to have Aeipathy merch in real life?! If you're interested in helping this scheme come to fruition over the next few months
contact our staff team.
Volunteering
Wanting to take on a little more responsibility to support Aeipathy's upkeep? This can easily be done without the gravitas / duties of a full-blown staff member.
AssistantsOur assistants are sub-staffers, whose names are not advertised as staffers to our community but who help us in the every day running or special projects of the site. To apply to be an assistant, see our
Staff Team page.
Event HostingWe are always looking for members eager to host OOC Events like movie viewings, game nights and other social activities.

Funding Help
Whilst Aeipathy is a hobby site and entirely free for its members, it actually costs money to run. From premium bots on Discord to specialist hosting and map creation on-site, Aeipathy puts us out of pocket most of the time. If you're looking to help improve Aeipathy (and the wallet of it's owner, JD!) you can show your thanks in financial support on Patreon. As we support transparency on Aeipathy, you can find all our costs and funding information on the
Funding Aeipathy page, so you know exactly what your money is going towards.
