We have never even seen you and now you come to close the forums lol

I'm the Forum Curator. ;)


However, I am also a maxed player - and I remember how awesome it was to unlock the HLF forums when I maxed. I've always been a passionate forumer on my personal account, so to make changes like these are hard for me on a personal level. Please don't say I don't know anything, because I have been here many times as a non-Jmod.

I say remove fmods instead

I'd disagree massively here, the
Forum Moderator Team
have been such a great help to the forums - they have a huge impact on helping out.

In fact - it was that team who have been defending HLF OT and saying that it should stay. Maybe if they weren't around, you wouldn't have had a specialist team defending everyone's corner here.


As such; I've decided to let this forum stay for now;
you are all clearly passionate about this and I would rather let you guys stay happy than upset you and cause grief. However it would be nice for you guys to pop to the standard Off Topic every now and then.

In the wise words of a long term

As for removing this section read what Mod Meadows has said.

He said if it picks up more then it has a chance. The ball is in your court.



Good luck, and I'll review this in the future.

The community is more likely to pick up and stay active if you promote the forums, encourage forum use, listen to people's feedback re the forums, etc.

Let's agree to disagree on this one.

As any real user of the HLF would do. I haven't seen a single HLFer make posts actively vouching for this forum's removal. I wonder why.

Well, with all due respect, until I see any proof that you understand this place then I'm going to assume you don't. There are thousands of people that have 'been here many times' and guess what? They lurk for 1 week, make 3 posts and then claim to 'know' the HLF. I don't claim to be some Runescape socialite, but if you were anyone that posted here even semi-regularly on a personal account, it would have been spread around and I'd know who you were. Mod Lee, for his faults, sure understood the place that this forum has and knew not to interfere.

You are the 'forum curator', and you have done literally nothing on the forums ever and your first move was to try and close a ton of forum sections, including ones that have years upon years of history stored in them? I don't know whether that was your bright idea or a higher up pushed that onto you to be the fall guy, but it should have been glaringly obvious that it was not a great idea, especially as what is basically your introduction to the forums.

What we now have is essentially a ransom. We have to increase forum activity or OT gets removed. Why not open HLF to OSRS Maxed players? Why not try and increase knowledge of this place on other social channels to bring in new posters? Why not post here yourself ? Maybe I am misunderstanding, but as your job title is forum curator, maybe some of the effort should come on your behalf.

Also, I find it laughable that you bring up fmods here as though we should be thankful of them or something? Do you have no idea of the HLF's tumultuous past with fmods? And yes, that question is rhetorical because everyone here already knows the answer.

And through some snooping I found your personal RSN. 7 forum posts ever, 0 on HLF and you haven't even posted on the access thread.

Always been a passionate forumer

I'm sure removing this section will save Jagex lots of $$$ on servers and data storage... /s

Happy to hear you changed your mind though, but disappointed that shutting down an entire section was your first solution in wanting to "fix" the forums.
