Old School General is now a Sailing forum :x


This is why I was opposed to letting this forum become recent updates feedback for osrs....we can count on this ever time a major update is devblogged probably.


What, count on potential or recent updates having more active discussions?

What a horrific thought

No, just count on not having anything else TO discuss. Even if you bumped a thread in the last few days, it if aint sailing it aint staying. Everyone has to have there OWN thread to discuss the SAME thing, meaning we have HUNDREDS of threads about the SAME damn topic. Since page one does not support hundreds of threads, we have one topic.

Wouldnt it be nice if there was more to the first page then just one topic? If people would freaking use the thread the other guy posted with the exact same wording for the exact same reason to discuss the exact same thing?


Also, on a similiar note, this type of activity could REVIVE the feedback forum, pump it full of life and activity that it needs so absolutely desperately. But no, that be wrong. AN active feedback would blow the world up wouldn't it?

I think we need Future updates / Recent updates forum.


Heck that, let me move all these feedback threads to feedback, let me revive a forum that hasnt seen this kind of activity in a long time and give people a reason to read all those OTHER threads there too.

Pfft, it's a big topic and probably one of the biggest topics to date. There are still a few non sailing threads floating around anyways.

I don't really care. Have you not seen how colossally dead even OSRS general has been the past few weeks? I bumped a thread at 10pm the other day and by the next day when I got up at 3pm it was still on the front page. Like, not even last result; it was about 4 spots off bottom. I'm glad to see the forums active.

Pfft, you should know as well as anyone that moving threads to feedback did hee haw to reviving that forum. Why do you think everyone called it the graveyard?

Worked in the past when things like this happen. I shifted *Every* topic (spent my entire day doing it too) and feedback thrived right until I stopped - at which point the REGULARS reposted in general (pretty sure they added me to see when I'd stop).

Did manage to get feedback going for 48hrs once but that required the community to care and not be biased (calling it what it isnt does not help). Real bonus would be if jmods treated it better, instead of ignoring feedback in feedback and posting on the same feedback in GENERAL...reverse it. Anything not in its place would be immediately veto'd by the yellows. Instead they seem to have a deliberate attitude towards posting on the incorrect stuff. Its nice being king..
