So I have two questions (at the moment) so yeah, first question!
For this question I'm also going to attempt to answer it myself, I expect the answer is NO, between RPs shutting down and people not planning to end the RP im guessing none have been finished. Although I'm sure no one ever thinks "I'm going to create a roleplay and everyone is going to enjoy it the whole time, I know exactly at what point it's going to end and I know that everyone who wants in is a complete rule follower" I'm also pretty sure no one knows when they want to end an RP. Even when there is the opportunity to finish it they've had so much fun they just try to hang on until it's abandoned or shut down with no proper ending at all. Tell me if I'm wrong please!
Question #2
Seriously no offense to you admins and it is nice that you guys let some things slide and I'm honestly not gonna tell you how to do your job or tell you to be stricter or improve at all, but really it would be better to direct them to the RP rules themselves rather than looking at other people's RPs.
They will look at it and 80% of the time not see much wrong with what they were doing originally. I know this because when I first came here (in September) I started a RP right away without reading any of the rules and it was closed down within two days and I was told to look at both the rules and other people's posts. I ended up just looking at other people's things and got my next RP closed down again before finally taking a look at the rules. Since then I've been able to follow the rules. So just a suggestion (and seriously I'm not trying to be mean or anything) but don't tell people to look at other RPs for examples, just tell them to read ALL the rules and put a link to them. (I find it very hard to navigate my way through the website even now so a little help finding the rules wouldn't hurt them)
Thanks!
- Do any of the RPs actually end up finishing? (As in getting to the point where the creator decides the story ends)

Question #2
- Admins usually when closing down an RP tell everyone that was taking part in it to look at other RPs to see how they are supposed to look but about 80% of the RPs have something wrong with them.
