Wow.

Just got access, and then read this.........

Tell you a funny story though. I started playing RS about 12 years ago. And yes, just got access.
My husband got me started on this game to keep my sanity. I'm a mom, and life sometimes gets in the way of RS, so I just maxed a few months ago.

But I digress. Want to know how I even heard about these forums?
A google search for something that involved the words "high-level".
My point is, because of life, I've taken many breaks from RS over the years. But kept coming back.
Hooked.
And if RS ever went away, I'd probably be "crushed" for a time. Probably a long time. lol.
And so it goes with these forums, I suppose.
But seriously, if you really want them to keep going, then maybe you should let people know they exist!
I'm not new. I browse the news. Read the forums. (sometimes)
But it took a google search to find out HLF's existed........
Let that sink in.

And HI! Welcome to the high level forums! ^_^

And yeah news of these forums existing isn't really known, hence why we also have a discord server going around for these forums to help keep the community alive, while also promoting these forum subsections. Good to see you joined the discord server also :)

You know, I ain't wanna say shit, but...

Mod Meadows said :
there is no reason for any of you to target a member of the FMod team.

Considering there are FMods who are openly antagonistic towards HLF (And I can provide quotes if need be) and have said time and time again they want it to be abolished, I feel like the sentiment is more than justified. Who are you to say we have no reason to "target" them? If anything, THEY target US.

Mod Meadows said :

While you may disagree with them, it is not acceptable or appropriate to talk about someone somewhere they cannot defend themselves. I think this is incredibly unfair, and it's a shame that members of the forum community are acting in this way.

So if I were to instead make a thread in say...W&F, publicly trashing a specific FMod right where they can see it in a public space, you'd be okay with that? I mean, they are able to defend themselves, after all.

Please- give us a fucking break. Lee wasn't even aware you were planning this, and he's the goddamn HLF CURATOR. How is that professional is any setting? I'm genuinely curious.

The FMods have their own forum and I'd be willing to bet money that there are some antagonistic posts posted there as well, despite any denials that surely will be made

maybe you should delete those forums @Chee__RS

oh that's what that is? I always thought it was a maximum HLF post count, I mean both are valid but that honestly makes more sense. @Chee__RS

@Chee & Zeus...

While I don’t agree with the hidden posts, I don’t think it’s really nice to “gang up” on Meadows so to speak, especially when he has the power to click a button and remove forum subsections.

If you were in his position and returned to look at this thread, would you like to read any of those posts targeting you? I know if it were me, I wouldn’t appreciate any of them and would reconsider my decision of keeping this forum subsection at all. Those posts are so toxic and paint an image that the HLF community is toxic...

Please try to remember that a small minority can affect an entire community - a couple of posts on this thread (not just from you both) could be the cause to reverse the decision, which would affect everyone.

I don’t want to act like I’m trying to control you or anything, everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but please consider what you’re posting before you do . It may affect everyone negatively in the end.... :(

AOROX, I'll leave you with Aesop's fable of the wolf and the sleeping dog. Interpret this how you wish.

"A dog was sleeping in front of the barn when a wolf noticed him lying there. The wolf was ready to devour the dog, but the dog begged the wolf to let him go for the time being. 'At the moment I am thin and scrawny,' said the dog, 'but my owners are about to celebrate a wedding, so if you let me go now, I'll get fattened up and you can make a meal of me later on.' The wolf trusted the dog and let him go. When he came back a few days later, he saw the dog sleeping on the roof. The wolf shouted to the dog, reminding him of their agreement, but the dog simply said, 'Wolf, if you ever catch me sleeping in front of the barn again, don't wait for a wedding!'"

I liked that story tbh.
