I can relate to what the OP is feeling. Though generalising has to be done with care, Discord/Reddit v forums does have that feeling of a young v old divide. I do use Discord, but it is a very different arena and the norms of communication there are very different from the forums. Topics get lost in long streams of chat. Long, thoughtful posts like this in a large fast-moving Discord server, would only be read by the few people who happen to be online at that time and those in other time zones probably wouldn't even see it. But things are changing, whether we like it or not. The younger generation is used to brief and instant. A carefully considered debate that remains accessible for all who are interested to comment, isn't the name of the game now it seems. I too shall miss the mature conversations on these forums. It's a shame the changes can't incorporate platforms that both the younger and older generations of players are comfortable with. The risk Jagex is taking in this decision, is alienating and losing their older players by not making accommodation for them. Sad times.
Good bye forums. We will remember you with fondness!

RuneScape Official Forums -> always have been a place to give feedback, regardless the length of your feedback
Social Media -> a social place, competing with others, about ones popularity & wellbeing

Another forum board bites the dust, so sad
I can never follow anything on what's happening on discord, hard to keep track of conversations.
Social media channels have toxic comments and are filled with bot posts.
I hope one day forums make a comeback again.

I kind of wish P_O-houses were visible on the streets of Yanille or Prif, so I could stand in my garden and say "get off my lawn!"
All kinds of people are being ignored in this mess, but "old" is as easy to label as young, or anything else.
I'm not too old to play, but I'm definitely too old to put up with some of the downsides civilly, lol.
Do these other places that monetize your personal info and clicks have a GOML emoji?
