Why are you guys so adamant about changing the website layout? This was already brought up 6 months ago; you guys know how the community feels.

We like how the website is. It's traditional, and we get nostalgia. What part don't you guys understand?

This isn't something we've bought up again. The original post from 6 months ago was bumped when TheZero replied.

We would personally love to work on this and so would plenty of others. The website is far behind typical web structure and design standards and keeping the website in 2007 is not good as far as bringing new players in or, potentially, allowing them to view the website on their mobile device.

However, we heard the other half of the community and now have no plans to pursue this project.

Thanks,

I like how distinctly different it is, but perhaps blending the 'traditional' style (the parchment) with new features will offer something great, when needed, in the future. Sixth Realm | Community Clan Founded in 2009

We have dropped this project - we have no intention to carry on with it.

A 2005 theme is also not an option. :) Senior Web Developer |

No.
There is nothing wrong with the way it currently looks.
You have put effort in something, I think most OSRS players agree on, does not have to be redone. Ever.
One of the most important aspects of the nostalgic experience with OSRS is the website.

Please, keep it as it is.

Kind Regards,
Sam.

Like the changes, keeps the old school authenticity while providing some subtle but nice looking visual perks.

EDIT: And now I see it was somewhat "grave-dug". Oh well, no biggie :)
