I thought forums were for members only. I've only just discovered they're available to free players today so here I am!

I'm trying to find out if I'm allowed to sell my drawing services for in-game items, but so far based on the lack of any art threads I think that's a no. Also because drawings aren't in-game items.. D:

First forum experience was in 2006 or something.

Was pretty good. Back then everyone was much more friendly and things like the rants section actually meant something.

Now when I look at the forums I see troll replies everywhere or people being passive aggressive, or people who come here solely to take their frustrations out on others.

I guess that is the norm for every forum nowadays...

I won't be using the forums much anymore.

So, you finally decided to start using the RuneScape Forums...

What was your first Forum interaction and how was it?


I can't remember. The first times I've been on the forums must have been at the end of 2007.

What was the first thing about the Forums that you noticed? A bunch of details, some particular feature... Perhaps there was something you liked/disliked right away?


That i've had no idea of forums. I've never been on one before.

Additional questions for more experienced Forums visitors: What hooked you, what made you a regular forumer? What was your best moment on the Forums?


I can't say what hooked me (on the german forums). And I've had many great moments on the forums... There were some threads that made me lough aloud in front of the computer.


Cheers

My first experience was buying items on the forums, that was back in 2007 before the release of the GE. I didn't know how w1/w2 worked and I used to traded my items at mostly random places, until I figured out about the forums being a place to do this.

I remember posting on the Rants Chat thread that Fleur Arrow created each time it maxed, lol. I was a little too scared to post on other threads, since the responses there were sometimes...intense. Back then, Rants was looked down on pretty badly--I mean, we had to argue for a chat lounge. Some of our arguments were that a centralized thread for all Ranters would reduce spam...

I wasn't a "typical" Ranter but I thought the threads were hilarious, and it was funny when I told people in other forums that I posted in Rants, because sometimes they'd tell me to be careful posting there because I could get banned. The stigma wasn't *too* bad, but it was that bad :P

That very stigma is also what got me foruming, because some people in-game were talking about how ridiculous the Rants forum were, and that piqued my curiosity and was when I first really heard about the RSOF, as well :)

Even though this thingy under my head Says 'Dec 2013', which I'm pretty sure is the first post you've ever done, is very vague in my mind, I do consider another post I made, a few months back, to be my first ever post. I honestly can't even remember what the post was.

So, I guess I can't properly reply to this forum but, I still wanted to say how...

Oh wow! A friend of mine (the one above ;) ) mentioned this thread and I decided to give it a look over and just read people's first forum experience. I didn't even know that I posted on here!

I can safely say that what I said in my post puts me to shame now, haha!

But going off of it, that post was from my previous forum days and I didn't even know how to post most of the time. I was very shy and to be honest, I didn't even know that the forums was even a thing. I was very young at the time and I barely even knew how to play the game.

It's great to see something like that and see how far I've come. :)
