I am sorry to say that at the time I write this message, ShardRPG is pretty much dead.
The official forum is in disrepair, there is not any official statement by the makers (or any statement for that matter) and even the Wikipedia entry has been deleted for being obsolote.

Thus I won't really do much with this group either. Please don't expect me to check this ever.

If you like Shard, please do continue to play at your own leisure.

The setting is still beautiful and has much to offer.

If you get frustrated with the lack of updates and the rules of the game, just try to change them around or exchange them with some from another RPG altogether!

Take care of yourself, and may your crystal never shatter.
