Typed Role-Playing games on messages boards

I have been looking through a lot of LotR message boards and it seems no one ever has a sort of LotR version of a dungeons and dragons game. I tried to get one started on a different board but no one followed my lead. Is it just that no one knows how to play them, or can they just not catch on??!!! They can be loads of fun if you got the right people.
