Thank you everyone for weighing in. I'm amazed by the amount of posts and users that have engaged in this thread during my sleep.
I don't think we should be asking if the Forum Moderators can do something about the state of forums. They are here as wardens and to protect and maintain the order of our Forums and be a person of consult. They are not supposed to work out new ways to get activity going. This is something that we as a community should be doing, and Jagex Web Developers would be implementing suggested ideas and feedback.
@Theos - those are my words... I had not even read them yet! I hugely agree with "featuring" forums in Twitch competitions or events. Forum contests is also exactly what I had thought about. Even players can host contests if need be. I agree with making a survey. Nice start. Who doesn't like surveys?
@Mrs Ana - You're right in many ways. The forums are easily outrun by the modern social media. Usability plays a huge role and unfortunately guys, Forums are sitting low in that score.
A lot of clans share their advertisements here. Many of these have hundreds of active members. I'd say that encouraging clan members to interact more in forums would be an excellent start. Have a few clans do this and we might see the average forumer count multiplied by 4, if not more. Life is like a camera: Just focus on what's important, capture the good times, develop from the negatives, and if things don't work out, take another shot !

@Corder i agree with all the suggestions you have written... how ever i personally think the VERY FIRST STEP ... is to get the jmods involved even if it to come check out what the heck is going on,, then your suggestions should be brought to then.
actually i am rethinking that ... i think the first step is that every one who wants change to stop saying it wont because of " XXX" i think we need to take the position that it will change
then when we are the ultimate united force then we focus on getting the jmods involved that way no matter who they are talking to we as a group will have the exact message to put forth It isn't a matter of being pessimistic or not. It's a matter of being realistic. Even if we continue to push for an update, it isn't going to change the fact that they do not have the time to do so, as stated many times by Mod Lyon. I don't mean to be pessimistic, but it's the best and only answer that we have gotten so far. I can guarantee you that if Mod Lyon were to post on this thread of yours, he'd share the same sentiment that he has shared for the last few years: They currently do not have the time to focus on the Forums.
I'm with you on this and I will keep posting agreeing with your ideas due to the fact that 1) I like them and 2) we need them. We just have to be realistic at this time. We have tried for YEARS to get the Forums updated and we haven't gotten anywhere yet. At least, I appreciate Mod Lyon for always being active and responding to threads here on this sub-forum. We could have gotten completely ignored, but at least, he responded to be as transparent as possible.
It'd be an extreme pleasure to have the Forums go back to their Golden Age
