Role Play - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

Whoa, didn't expect such feedback for one query from a lonesome RPer.

I've done various kinds of online role play.

Forum
There's the kind where you have threads on forums, and you role play via posts to that forum. You are normally just one character there.

Live Journal
This is similiar to the forum, but here you actually can get a journal for said character (like I have for Eduardo here). You can either make posts, or start role play threads in your journal or the community journal. From there different people can reply back to move the story forward.

AIM/AOL/MSN/YIM
This is the one I have most experience with. Just two people playing back and forth, and we can both take multiple character's. In reference to my time with my friend, sometimes she would be Frankie, or I would. I played Ringo Rango and our fan-char Spud while she played Eurotrish and her fan-char Grey. The only thing that stayed true was that I was Eduardo and she was Wilt.
And those AOL sessions ammounted to over 800 pages of roleplay fodder in word. That's right.

So there are multiple ways to go about this, but which one would sit easier?
