I would hate to see these forums removed.. As mentioned already the other platforms to provide feedback are not only less convenient but the overall impression of feedback is harder to engage with.
When an update I dislike is released, I often see the discord 'reaction' engagement and then the flow of comments and it's hard to really express or consider what is being said without creating threads - something they don't currently support (at least on the OSRS discord).
I then take myself here, often offline, then gage the response from the carefully crafted threads.
Sure, you always have the odd troll about who makes it their job to leave mundane comments on every thread to further their post count but the overall importance cannot be understated regardless to leave feedback on this website itself.
I think the only fair way to remove these forums is if you find a method to integrate discord into this website and permit threading. That way, sure, you need to use a 3rd party platform login, but it at very least is provided on this website itself rather than a separate app or 3rd party platform directly.
Ideally I'd prefer to see a rejuvenation on here than a discontinuation, but surely you can at least permit it to stay up at very least?
