It was in Marketplace section. I think I was selling enchanted robe bottom.

I remember clearly when my friend was selling steel bars. He said to me that he had sold all of them in 5 minutes via the forums. This was when I first heard of them. It was 2006, so Marketplace was actually very active. I didn't know English well enough to join other discussions, so Marketplace was the only section I viewed back then.

I discovered the forums almost six years ago. I was at a community event when this chap called Mod Aiko kept going on about the Dutch forums and how awesome they were. I checked and... well, he wasn't wrong. ;) I met some of the most amazing people on the Dutch forums.

Still here after six years, even though the activity on the Dutch forums declined *a lot*. I'm hoping that one day the Dutch forums will flourish again.

Way back the forums were members only and so when I first got membership they were this exciting new thing that I couldn't do before. I spent most of my time in the general forum although I wasn't a heavy poster as I was more focused on questing in the game client however with going back to being a free player and the limited amount of time I have to put into the game, the forums seem like a brilliant place to still be involved with the RuneScape community without having to spend time trying to find things to do. ~ These are my thoughts ~

Made a post tryin to give advice to a problem someone was having, spent some time on it.
I noticed it got hidden later. However posts such as "get a life kid" were not hidden.

I did the same thing kind of thing the next day and it got hidden as well.
I left the forums and didn't return for several years.

It was back when the forums were first implemented. I had this idea that I'd help players and perhaps become a player mod some day! Enjoyed my time thoroughly but now I just poke around the game and chat. No bad experiences yet! ten years of play, one year of progress.

Ah yes, this brings back memories. If I'm not mistaken, my first interaction with the community on the forums was in the Monsters and Trading forum boards. There, I've tried forming up some help-orientated threads and remember Vand being the first to reply on the first one. I don't really know why I remember that detail, but his avatar has had black hair.

From there, I've moved to being a regular at the Quests forum board along Aicy. His avatar has had blonde hair. Seriously, why do I keep repeating this? But woah, that time was amazing. As a quests fan myself, it was definitely a great time helping out on various cases there. They were usually either all the same or recent bugs, though. Still amazing.

Later on, I've started frequenting the forum board I've frequented the most: Account Help. There were so many amazing peeps there and it was really fun. Users were still able to create threads back then and I remember how me and Mod A** competed who will reply with advice and help first. ;) Later on, however, the forum board became sticky only zone, Lord Gavo (one of the regulars) was made a Forum Mod and the whole community surrounding it just went its own ways.

From there, I believe I frequented all the boards but mainly Website & Forums Feedback as well as Rants (yeah, Rants masterrace ^^). Still had contact with Account Help regulars in the AH friend chats in-game, which have changed between mods quite a few times. It's currently Mod Harriet, even though abandoned all the time. I guess that General rank still keeps me in it, though, hoping that someone looking for help will come in at one point and know that they can count on me.

RSOF were my first forums I frequented. From there, I visited many more. But it's always amazing to go back to where it all started. These forums are special in a sense, and I like them for that.
Divine embrace,
Haruna

Most likely Marketplace. I don't really remember why I logged in the first time.

My first experience worth remembering had to be the Rants forum sometime around 2006 or 2007. I just remembering looking at some threads and thinking, "Holy crap, some people have some amazing ideas for this game!" So I started browsing it whenever I wasn't doing much in-game. Then I started posting and the rest is history.
