Unless you have permission from the original creator, you'll get smacked with plagiarism. Even if the original creator no longer uses the site. You might be able to get away with making a similar RP, but no, just taking one without asking is a huge no-no.
If you're talking about a RP that you originally made, it generally depends on the circumstances. Mods will usually allow your RP a second chance if continuing to post in the original thread would be gravedigging at this point, but if it becomes clear that no one is interested in this game (i.e., the other threads also quickly die), you'll be asked to essentially stop spamming the forum with the same unwanted game. There have been other instances where the Mods granted a new thread, such as the old one having become too toxic and the players wanting a fresh start, but these are rather unique situations.
In essence, I would ask the Mods to review your specific circumstances.
So, if it is my own and I want to give it a second chance, I'm clear, but no third or fourth OOCs?
You can have as many IC or OOC threads you need if they're each hitting the 500 posts mark. I'm referring more to making additional threads in the event that the original thread goes dead (nobody posting in it for a long time).
What I'm saying is if I post an RP called, "Adventures with Gio," and it only gets a few posts if any at all, I'll probably be able to reboot it later. If I make "Adventures with Gio 2," and it also gets almost no posts, I might be able to make "Adventures with Gio 3," but if nobody posts in that either and it's becoming clear that nobody is really interested in playing my "Adventures with Gio" game, I might be asked to stop pursuing a lost cause. Does that make sense?
