Welcome to Barton OOC!


What does OOC mean? surprised

OOC is short for "out of character". We felt it was a perfect name for this subforum, because this is out of character for Barton Town. This is the place for you to put topics relating to a roleplay, without actually roleplaying. See next post for more information. 3nodding

If you would like to see something added, you can PM me. 3nodding

[11-10-05] GGN or other guild forum roleplays being advertised in Barton OOC is not allowed. Please use the Registered Guilds forum for GGN guilds, and the Chatterbox for guild forum advertisements.

[6-25-05] You may not recruit for any forum/website that is not Gaia Online. The only places you may recruit for are: Barton Town, Private Messages, and various messengers.

What is Barton OOC for?


Barton OOC was created for the following purposes:

  • To recruit people for roleplays on Gaia or via messengers and/or Private Messages.
  • To create schools in order for users to improve their roleplaying skills.
  • To discuss techniques, styles and formats for roleplaying.
  • Create OOC threads in order to keep your main roleplay thread free of spam.


What is Barton OOC not for?

Barton OOC is not for:

  • Recruiting for sexual or adult roleplays.
  • Recruiting for your private forums.
  • Complaining about RPs in Barton Town -- help people make better ones, don't complain!
  • Holding discussions about the state or quality of roleplaying on Gaia.
  • Advertising a guild in either the Guild Forums or the GGN.
  • Spam or threads that do not serve any purpose in Barton OOC.

What next?


Now that you know what is and is not allowed, we should elaborate.

  • You may not make a recruitment thread for roleplays that would not be appropriate for Gaia. This includes sexual roleplays, fetish roleplays, sexual slave roleplays or other adult situations. Soliciting for these types of roleplays on Gaia is a bannable offence.

  • You may not make a recruitment thread for sites other than Gaia and messengers. Listing another forum is not allowed in Barton OOC. You may only recruit for Barton Town, Private Messages, and messengers.

  • You may not make recruitment threads for guilds. This is to be done in the chatterbox.

  • Please do not make "come and ask questions" threads. Your topic must contain helpful information that is immediately available upon viewing the thread.

  • Topics in this forum must have content. If you are looking for an rp partner, don't just put: "looking for rp on AIM (insert name here)", or something to that effect. Those are not allowed, and will be sent to the Chatterbox.

  • If you are making a school, explain what you're are attempting to do. Lay out lesson plans, explain why you are making this school.

  • An OOC thread is going to be mostly chatting, but you must state and link which roleplay this OOC thread corresponds with. Otherwise it will be treated as spam and sent to the Chatterbox.
