The forums as they are right now are just horrible.
Rules are not / selectively enforced, it's just a bump-bot-competition by clans.
Close em burn, burn em, salt the earth!

The few rules leftover are enforced just fine. The biases, though they exist, simply do not compare to the bias in enforcement on those other websites. Plenty of people still use these pages. If you are comfortable elsewhere, good for you. I don't know the state of the clan forums beyond bumping my own clan's thread. There is a much greater forum community than the clan hubs. Most of us with high post counts accumulated the metric in the other categories.

I also find it ironic how despite seldom using the forums you come on the forums to express your opinion.

Actually, on behalf of the forum community I thank you for bumping the petition.

I, Aslon Dak, follower of Guthix and former owner of Clan No-Name, ask that Jagex reconsider their foolish plan to remove the forums.

My time spent in-game continues to decrease. I do my dailies and that's really it. Never before in my nearly 20 years here have I been less motivated to play this once great game. Ultimately, it was never really Jagex or their updates that made this game special.

It was you. Each of you wonderful 'Scapers from around the world who came together to eplore this world of Gielinor together. In between our explorations, we could get together on the RSOF to share details of our amazing victories, our crushing defeats, and our silliest noob moments. Whether we were actively posting, or simply lurking, we could come to the RSOF to learn about new content, suggest game changes, find help with quests, read stories, or just chill with friends. We could discuss lore, find a clan, receive account or technical help, contact other players about buying/selling/trading rare items, and even play forum games.

With the removal of the RSOF, all of that essentially will also be taken away. Third-party social media echo chambers are no worthy replacement for our forums, and never will be.

Do not bother looking for me on those sites. I will not be there. I am on FB, if you know where to find me, but that's it.

Over the years, I have praised Jagex when I thought they deserved it. I have also been critical of the company when I felt that they made a mistake. As far as I am concerned, removing our beloved and historic forums is the stupidest, most boneheaded blunder Jage has ever considered. The original Wildy/Free Trade removal will drop to #2. Sure, Jagex could change their minds - but just like my desire for gametime, my confidence in this company to do right by their players has never been lower.
