Gauging interest in a roleplaying community hub...

[Hett]

So I'm a big-time RPer. Have role-played fulltime on every MMO I've played (DAoC, Earth & Beyond, SWG, WoW, SWTOR) and am no different here. I can't help but trying to get myself as completely immersed into a setting as I can be.
I'd like to gauge interest in a roleplaying community hub. The type of RPing I have in mind is more than the usual low-key "I'm CMDR Skinflute and I play a pirate, arrr" but rather the more in-depth kind with well thought out characters with a backstory, distinct personality, and so on. I saw this a lot on EVE (though never played that game much) and want to help others of that bent find one another on E.
Before I get to work making this site though, I wanted to gauge the interest. The idea would be for a community portal where a small volunteer staff would write blog posts on the galactic goings-on from an in-character perspective, as well as an open forum for finding other RPers, advertising roleplaying orgs/corps/groups/clans/whatever, posting stories about your character, in-character journals, forum-based RP (since we can't leave our ships to do that sort of thing in-game yet) and all of that good stuff.
I'm looking forward to your replies. Thanks!

Best of luck btw. I might join you but I'm afraid that Elite is eating too much of my time already that I'm ignoring other RP interests!

Whoops, sorry about the readability on the OP -- I copied it from another post I made elsewhere and didn't realize it took the formatting with it. Don't seem to see an option to edit my post, either...here it is again, more readable:

I am 99.9% positive I replied to this post but alas it's gone?

Anyway, what I said in my post was that there already is a community RP hub that is growing daily. Hop on over and join the fun.
