As a minor roleplayer - I play on a PvP server, but am old RPG (both computer and pen 'n' paper) player - I am curious what would you guys do there? I don't want to sound like I am mocking roleplayers, but...what? Forum game? Character biographies and discussion? I guess addon and macro selections could also fit.
And, as an alternative proposal - how do you feel about a
Lore & Roleplay
forum, or do you think the two don't have enough in common to be put under the same category?

I'll vote for that if you teach me how to "walk and speak funny" :)
(not that there is voting, we are under the complete dictatorship of Malgayne, who is secretly controlled by Miyari. And Skosiris is...just there...doing stuff...)

The only problem I would see with a Lore/RP forum is the amount of trolls and flames it may or may not incite, so I'd have to imagine that the moderation and 'code of conduct' there would have to be much more stricter than the normal guidelines, much like the Theorycrafting and Guild Recruitment Forums.

But hey, there's something positive in it. If the moderators do their job good, we'd actually keep WoWhead clear of morons who come to troll.
Just found a potential problem: Would there enough moderators to cover every forum? Someone else has already suggested the implementation of an Achievement Forum, and now we have a RP forum being suggested.
If those two forums are implemented, there might be enough mod shortage, though to a small extent probably. I believe there are several moderators, but some of them aren't always around all the time (which is understandable, since we all either have jobs or schools to attend to).
I'm not saying the mods don't go a good job; it's just seems that sometimes, though not often, not enough of them are around.
Just trying to bring up all viewpoints I can think of here. =)

I think that it would be cool to have a Lore and RP forum added. One of the reasons that I really like warcraft is all the lore that is behind it. In that forum we could discuss any of the Lore, we could help newbies learn how to roleplay, and you could draw up character sheets and tell people about your character if you wanted. Another thing is that some forums have roleplaying games. I've always kind of thought about sticking one in Randomness, but somehow I don't think it would thrive there.
:P
Roleplaying games are kind of fun in my opinion . . .

@MasterofDisguise, this should not be an issue, rest assured. The forums are never without a moderator for long, and even that is a little extreme. As long as users make good use of the Report button, we should always be quick to the rescue.

VES! VHANT!
But yes, I heartily support this idea.

You know, people might RP in an RP forum.
Just a thought.

That's what I meant by "forum game". I am just not very familiar with this kind of communities, so I try to step carefully and with caution.

I would not be opposed to a Roleplay forum.

Sounds like a grand idea! I would appreciate a Lore & Roleplay forum, as well!

flagg24, perhaps an appropriate signature for you would be something like:
"
Lore & Roleplay
forum supporter"

I've posted a thread (currently in Help and Support) where I look at the Histories and Lore surrounding the separate playable races and what it means to RP as one. It's still a work in progress, but the main thing is that it would be better in a Lore and Roleplay Forum rather than in Help and Support.
Hint, hint, nudge, nudge.
