I was pretty active with the forums, for some reason everything went to an "AFK" moment on this forum so I almost stopped coming. I want to use the forums more for this but it just seemed it was taking a while to see any results.
I don't know how many people have access to this section, but in order to increase activity here, it looks like we'll need more members. I suggest automatically inviting anyone who streams on the official RuneScape Twitch account, plus maybe have a look at some of the recent posts on this
Youtube Channels
thread.
I think JMod interaction is also important to attracting people here. If JMods rarely visit this forum, then there isn't much reason for videomakers/streamers to do so either.
I can see JMod interaction happening in two ways: first, I suggest adding an auto-hidden "Flag a Concern" thread, which videomakers/streamers can use to ask questions privately.
Second, I am sure Paul M isn't the only person involved in making videos at Jagex.
Could we get these other JMods to post about their work here? One of the things that makes the clan leaders forum so successful is that web developers, game developers, and community managers all post regularly in the forum and are very open about their plans, priorities, and capabilities.
A chat lounge and a few forum games could liven things up too!
I didn't even realise I had access to this forum until yesterday, so possibly giving all people with access an inbox message telling them of the fact might be a good idea!

Support. In general, I prefer inbox messages to emails. I get waaaaay too many emails as it is >.<
Something I've been considering since my original post about a month ago: what do people think about creating a "Count to 50 Before a JMod Posts" thread in this forum?
Pros
- attracts people to post more regularly and check the forum
- encourages brief chatting amidst the counting
Cons
- not directly related to videomaking
- takes up space on page 1, although this forum is so slow that's not really an issue
Looks like this reboot never happened, I'm not sure how active VIP club is going to be since it's very likely no current JMods work with it and people post like once every two weeks.
I think if we plan to reboot these VIP forums us players inside here need to do something about it.

I think both could be a very good idea, I do think that if we're all in this VIP club together we should make videos together, collaborate on Livestreams and other things. To be honest I might create a separate thread on this tomorrow when I have more time.
