Yep, I miss that era. I can't stand discussing games on Discord, social media and Reddit (
puke
). In general, I miss the forum era. I've always found forums to be more conducive to actual discussions than any of the other sites. Thanks to Discord and Reddit, everyone uses those to discuss games these days.

Discord is useful for some purposes but I have zero interest in centering my entire gaming life around it and Reddit is just a steaming heap of camel dung, a poor excuse for a "forum" site. Call me a boomer all you want, I genuinely miss the era when the internet was actually good and when technology wasn't all bloated spyware and lazy convenience (which is also why I don't use a smartphone).

All of that is why I tend to enjoy myself on GOG's forums despite the fact that their forum software is janky: discussing there reminds me of the glory days of forums, including the golden era of the RSOF. I just wish Jagex's CM team would get back to the days where 90% of their engagement with the community was in-game and on the forums instead of always being on Discord, Reddit, Twitter and Twitch. ~

Couldn't have said it any better.

We have lost the good old days and now hadly any staff post on the forums. Shame as years gone by you could see Gold Posts everywhere.

Also in 2005/6 the forums got over 1/2 million posts per week. These days might be lucky for 5,000/6,000 thats just a guess.

We can all point our finger at Social Media. It's taken over the World. :@

Maybe 1 day things will change and Jagex staff will post again. ;) Comprehensive Account Security

It's sad and frustrating because this is just the way the world is now. Everyone wants instant gratification and internet small talk (which social media promotes) and nobody wants to have good, long discussions on forums anymore. :( ~
