Mm, I get what you mean, but I think third person makes RP posts easier to follow. It means that the character name is mentioned multiple times in the post - "Bob did such-and-such" rather than "I did such-and-such" - that sort of thing. For longer posts especially when you might have scrolled past the IC: declaration, it might make things clearer... or something.

I think I write more naturally in first person, actually, but nowadays I've gotten used to third I guess. I don't find it any more .. exciting, or engaging, or even more personal (from a character POV) to write in first opposed to third, though ... I've sometimes drafted posts in first person and then converted them to third before posting, with minimal editing.
