Yes, rest in piece! A lot of history here!
Will you, and other mods try to move onto Reddit or similar platforms to continue your general work?

I believe some of us will be moving to Discord (either the official RS3 or OSRS channel). I cannot comment on Reddit as this is not directly managed by Jagex. That said, I am currently doing a complete archive of the forums (including the localised forums), having saved, as of this writing, >4.1M posts and >53K threads. I will be publishing this on a dedicated website, preserving the forums, essentially, in perpetuity.


Hi Mexk!

I hope you've been doing well. As you probably noticed, I'm not active anymore. And this is probably my first post in 5 years.

Great to see you're archiving all posts. I will definitely be checking out the website once it's available. Thanks for the initiative and the best of luck!

Thank you all for the great usage of the forums over the years folks. Many many players I have recruited to our clan have came from the forums. Great times were made off these pages! I went to sleep late...But woke up early. Kissed the game goodbye baby Goodnight Shirley.

Thank you all, posters and mods, for maintaining this corner of the internet for as long as some users have lived.

I can see the reasoning behind the closure, and I hope that people will be able to enjoy the archive for many decades more to come.

Hi July! Good to see you, if under bittersweet circumstances.

I will be sharing more information once I have finished the archive. I imagine it will be one of the last posts prior to the read-only mode being activated the 25th of January. I will be doing a final crawl throughout the forums leading up to the read-only mode to ensure everything has been archived. In some instances this will mean threads post page 50 as I am keeping everything I have already,

What a journey over the years, it has been sad to see the decline from a once thriving forum, but nostalgia doesn't pay the bills. To those I've had to pleasure of interacting with, thankyou. See you all on whatever platform becomes the go to.

Thank you Mexk for taking the effort to archive everything, that is a mammoth task and I'm almost certain it'll be appreciated by every single person who has ever cared for the RSOF, and those who don't managed to see these forums before they shut, can take a final look at the archive. I know we had a very difficult past with interactions Mexk, and I hope there's no hard feelings for it still - there's none from here, and not been any for near of a decade, I've just not mentioned it publicly. Keep up the amazing work. ^_^


Thank you , Adam!

There's no hard feelings whatsoever. I am happy to see your continued passion, and I am not surprised that, as we are rapidly approaching the end of the forums, you are still around and active. See you around!

I'm really really upset about the forums closing. They have been my go to source of information ever since I discovered they existed. I read them every day that I'm at home but I don't always log in to do so. I believe spreading game information across three different 3rd party sites is inefficient
