We should have a feature on our forum profiles to filter our threads,maybe a second list which contains the threads we created.

A secondary list for threads we'd like to watch would be desirable as well.

We have all been advocating for the Forums to be updated since their features are archaic. Unfortunately, the Forums haven't been a priority to Jagex for years now, specially when you have Social Media running rampant and taking over everything. To read more on that, you may rely on Mod Lyon's response below:

Mod Lyon said :
Hey Corder,

Thanks so much for the suggestions. Some new and not so new suggestions there.

I think there are some we're more likely to think about than others, I don't feel the "active users now" is accurate and just leads to some of our users misunderstanding because of it, for example so we'd leave any further activity monitor our of updates and frankly probably get rid of the existing one. It doesn't add much value.

Notifications on the other hand, definitely a must have from the community minded JMods if we had free reign over these updates.

Like Mrs Ana shared, the forums aren't [regrettably] our current priority , and we're working hard on some big development sized work at the moment. I'll keep your thread on our community suggestions notes though and relay this to the rest of the team, if we manage to get round to updating these hallowed halls.

Thanks,
Mod Lyon

Chicken or the egg thing, perhaps if forums did receive a good update this place would compete better with social media. I personally can't stand Reddit which seems to be where most the RS action is, and I've never cared for Twitter. I do use Facebook, unlike quite a few RS players, but it doesn't have a good format for a company like Jagex to host a community hub without the need of excessive moderation.

If forums received just a few updates like my suggestion, notifications, possible DMs, etc then I believe it could draw a lot of people back here without being too much of a headache for the community organizers
