The forums are officially dead and are not like what they used to be anymore sadly. Not many people post here. Everyone is either going to reddit, or are not posting at all. Removing the RuneScape forums would decrease Jagex's operational costs, and make more room for revenue. Currently Jagex is maintaining these forums that are barely used with a large operational cost. I do agree that this is a good place for feedback, but many people are putting that feedback on reddit. On top of that, beta or mobile beta feedback can easily be done/(implemented into) via the in game "bug report/feedback". Another serious problems of this forum is that it is starting to take on the shape of a battle ground. Already it can be seen that the forums have taken a turn towards a murky community where people are now arguing over views of something or EVEN A MEANING OF A WORD in forums that are meant for in game content. Also, a majority of forumers are P2P players that sometimes use harsh/burn commentary against F2P players, and are not even willing to listen to them even if it is for the P2P players best interest.
The major issue is that FMods and LMods are doing as much as they can, but unfortunately it does not seem enough. After all the FMods and LMods are humans and have a life and con not be here 24/7 on top of every post that gets posted.
Many people are posting things in wrong forum categories and their threads get moved to another category.
I recently came back to the forums after six months. I remember six months ago that there was a massive verbal argument in the forum that caused a JMod to come and give a notice on that forum category. I really hope that JMods and other types of Mods can understand the seriousness of my reasons for why the forums need to be removed.
The forums here are starting to have a harsh environment, after coming back I have not seen any of the sweet nice forumers making new comments or threads anymore.
