Hello everyone,

I want to remind all the Runescape and Old School Runescape players here who are upset with Jagex about closing the Runescape Forums that it does not have to end this way. The Runescape playerbase has more power than they think they do. Remember in 2013 when enough players demanded the creation of Old School Runescape and we got it? Or how about in 2011 when enough players told Jagex that we wanted free trade and wilderness back.

Can we reverse Jagex's decision about closing the Runescape forums? I doubt it because unlike in the two examples that I stated above, we don't have nearly as much pushback as those movements did but I would rather go down trying to save the Runescape Forums than to not try at all. My biggest hope is, assuming that the shutdown of the forums will happen, is that someone will come and create their own fan site forums that look relatively similar to how the official Runescape forums looked but not in an illegal copying these forums too much kind of way.

P.S. Also, I apologize to all of you for my spelling and grammar errors here. I cleaned up the ones I could!

I believe this is happening due to the new website changes that are coming, that are based on new coding languages which are not conducive with the current language the forums are currently built on.

It would be great if Jagex could build something very similar on this new website, but it seems like they would rather not put that time and effort into making such a resource when they have already got the off-site equivalents.

I'm yet to find anywhere that offers the same services as these forums however. I do support them rebuilding a forum for us, and I really hope that the posts here since the announcement might make them realise it will be worth it.

There pretty stupid closing their forums theres no effective way to give feedback about issues on those fad social media sites, unless you have a following of like 1million people no one is going to care.
