Over the past few weeks, myself and three other people have been developing a fansite, named RuneLinked. RuneLinked is hosted via published documents that are Google Products (Google Sheets, Google Docs, Google Forms). As a result, our website is completely free.
With our public launch tomorrow, I was hoping we could get some last-minute feedback from you, the clan leaders. Because of the nature of RuneLinked, many pages and advertised services on it are very beneficial to clans, so I wanted to get your opinions.
In addition, we're also looking for people to help moderate our Discord and Friend's Chat channels. If you're interested, then please let me know - a link to the Discord may be found on the website.
Our website's Twitter is: @RuneLinked
Here is the shortened URL to our website:

Here is the full URL to our website: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pU61tLk_xzBQZegYM8-K8s6RNynG7anRy3ggVFDzFnA/pubhtml
So again, if you have questions or comments about things (really, all feedback is appreciated), then please let me know

Offsites usually had to be accepted by Jmods on the forums before it can be advertised. Not sure how it works now.
I already checked with Mod MattHe, who gave me permission
I love the layout and the color scheme of the site.
I have no idea what your association with one of the clans in your featured clan list is, but it just got a ton of negative feedback from a lot of HLFers within the last month.
Also the clan in question didn't have any actual rs3 clan. Does the featured clan include OSRS?
I happened to be interested in that and noticed that part of it.
Regarding popular friendschats under player services:
I would visit the D&D forums and add the list of the first 2 pages of groups, easily.
I am not sure why you want to link to other fansites, but then again, fansites don't have the traffic and user base they used to have. So maybe using other fansites isn't the sort of 'threat' that it used to be back in the day of mass user bases.
Another great fansite is RSBandB btw
Finally, I guess I am surprised in there not being an events tab?
Hosting events seems to be a great way to boost engagement and bring traffic to a friendschat?
Just my feedback

The Private Union of RuneScape Game Experts are the ones who helped set up the site, and technically "own" it, hence being used to test the cycling feature of the Featured Clans on the homepage. I am one of their Techs. We're a private union of players and clans that works to improve the community, operating without an in-game clan or FC. I was unaware of negative feedback about us in the HLF forums. Can we speak privately so you can elaborate on this, please?
The website is intended for a RuneScape 3 community, but we'd gladly accept OSRS clans if they met the listed requirements.
I'll take a look at the D&D forum, but we'll only able to add services that have permanent threads (so for example, "W71 Penguin Whisperers" would need to have a permanent thread, as opposed to new threads weekly). We wanted to incorporate other fansites into our website because 1) we don't really see them as competition, and 2) They offer some excellent services to the community. I'll take a look at RSbandB and speak with others about adding it.
I'll also look into adding an events tab (likely replacing the Twitter button with it).
Thank you very much for your feedback!

I think the information you have provided me with satisfies my questions and I am optimistic about seeing the Runelinked community take off!
