Because the rules are so overly strict and allowed for ZERO banter or personal disagreement.

You can't so much as call out another person for obvious annoying behavior without mod jumping down your throat and deleting posts / locking threads.

So the people who have spend the last decade being obnoxious here aren't going to have anywhere to go.
Reddit, Discord and Twitter users actually are allowed to speak their mind and call out other users for being obnoxious.

I find it super hilarious, and I won't miss the forums.

Edit: Also cause Jagex is greedy, and there is no way to monetize the forums effectively. money money money money, gaming company greed never ceases to amaze.

Untrue but not going to start an argument on a dying forum.

:P
lol, lmao even.

There never was a real space to disagree with other people, and call out idiotic behavior.

There are users on these forums who intentionally make fallacious arguments, and then you cant even call it out or say they are trolling.

Literally just saying "John is trolling" can get your post deleted by an Fmod.
That is a HUGE problem in a small community.

I know forums where i could report you for saying idiotic and you would eat a ban or even a perm ban depending on the mod.... thats what you have to look forward too...

I, like many people, do not use those garbo sites.

You can find me on discord.

I prefer to use forums where I can call out people for negative behavior.

I will miss some things--over the years I've received helpful input from people when I've gotten stuck on something.

There is a D&D group I enjoy very much, and the activity will be a lot less fun and a lot less rewarding without the weekly forum threads they posted and maintained.

Yes, a few people--one in particular, lol--will be deprived an avenue to be...themselves. They'll go obsess and thread-stalk and all the rest somewhere else.

I agree with you that the unchecked behavior probably had something to do with the level of participation.

Short answer: modern consumers want to watch and listen to information on products they are interested in.

Longer answer: modern consumers want to watch and listen to constructive information on how to enjoy a product they have first hand experienced on. They don't care about people telling them everything is a bug and everything is bad.

Yeah, I stopped posting regularly long ago because of those reasons. The moderating team for these boards have been overbearing and offputting for some time now.

And then they let some shillbert have free reign over the boards despite that individual being an obvious troll.

It all ends soon though, good riddance.
