The reason I believe RuneScape forums died is because of Jmods. I came from an era where it wasn't recommended to go offsite for RuneScape news, but Jmods started giving exclusive in-game information on other websites and personal accounts. Forcing many players to either hear second hand information from other players or start seeking information offsite. I don't understand why Jmods wouldn't save all exclusive updates and in-game information for the official game website and official game forums (this one action would bring a lot of the community back to the forums). From what I can gather it seems that Jmods are more responsive to the community on these "other" platforms; which I believe also plays a large role. Why would a customer maintain communication on the official website when more help and information is given on every other platform?
