My heart sank a bit while reading this. Admittedly, I can understand why Jagex is doing this. Times have definitely changed. Still though, it is tough to hear.

I wanted to give a shout out to all the regulars on here, the friends I've met through these forums, all the forum moderators, and J-mods who still keep up with our posts.

I look forward to continue talking to you all both in-game and on Discord. Let's make the most out of the final days of the RSOF! <3

2 decades of community interaction... incredible longevity.


It probably is one of the longest, if not the longest, running gaming forums..!

It is very disappointing to see this happening, and that the decision was made without any input from the community.

I first started using the forums nearly two decades ago, when I started Runescape. I've made countless friends, and memories. The community here will always be dear to me.

Let's all keep in touch!!! Maybe we can make a RS Forums dedicated FC for folks to continue to touch base?

Its very sad that they didnt opt to use a forum like Discourse, which is modern used across the internet (who knew, forums are actually NOT dead...contrary to popular belief) and has many features (including mobile friendliness) that people want these days....And its platform is designed to work with the kind of systems Jagex is upgrading to.

But reality is, this forum is built on webscript, and webscript is no longer developed by Jagex. So i completely understand why it's being removed as they slowly release updates to the website and modernize it.

Shame though trying to force Discord for everything, it will NOT be a solution to every problem. I hope clans can band together and find a solution that works the best. Eventually discord will fade away and something new will come along and then Jagex is going to have to migrate everything to it...

Offsite has been tried in the past, it has failed...many times. Only time will tell.

Gonna be sad not able to post on here in time, or even access them later. It was fun while it lasted though. Many great memories through the years.
