Setting a posting frequency for a forum roleplay

At various times, I've been involved with forum roleplays where most roleplayers posted at least once a day and often more frequently that that as well as forum roleplays where most roleplayers posted at most once every three or so months. (That's the current pace of When the Lion Wakes, which is still running almost two years since it began in March 2010. And that reminds me that it's actually my post. Lovely.) More typically, I've seen roleplays with frequency demands or requirements that tend to fluctuate between once a day and once a week. My personal stance on this is that it should be mutually agreed upon by the roleplayers, and is subject to revision by general consent if warranted.

For well over a year now, I've mostly retreated from the majority of roleplays on this site due to a number of unfortunate circumstances that have affected my schedule to the point where this type of posting frequency (at most once a month) from me has become normal. I'm fairly certain that has drastically limited my opportunities to participate in roleplays, but I also don't want to be the bane of existence for a group of roleplayers who without me would be posting several times a week.

Anyhow, I was wondering the thoughts of the community on the matter of setting a posting frequency.
