There are other forums that are far quieter in general, and if people come back then thats a good thing, and it will be there waiting for them. the goals and achievements stuff was used quite a bit and it was just nice having it all grouped together.

Its not JUST people who play runescapes opinion that should matter, anyone who uses this forum could have different opinions, but at the end of the day with something like this, its not going to do any harm if it is a subforum, it cant be viewed on the main forum etc. Sure there are prefixes, but most of them relate to runescape anyway, since the goals and achievements things are mainly just used for runescape? (If not that could get pretty confusing deciding what game the achievement is for etc).

Just think that people are underestimating the amount that it was used, most of the threads in there are runescape, which suggests to me that the other previous ones such as minecraft etc were the ones that were suffering, not really runescape. Its been removed before and put back, and I just think this will keep happening unless its just left as a subforum. Wouldn't hurt to try and see what happens :)

Sigh will you stop posting essays i cba reading so much crap

Because I don't see the justification for it thats why its "negative" if you could even call it negative. It was used for a +1 in post count mainly and a few people posting "gratzzzzzzzzz" or something along those lines, that's the only reason RS was active at all really lol

You just told me it is though, we can't do a poll because people who don't play RS will put their opinion down and the result will be NO so we can't do that, so i'm applying the same thing here? Yes theres 3 prefixes for runescape, so it's easy to list what you want, problem? :S

I'm with MattG on this. Trial it let no-one care and move on.

We'll do it this way so we can see if people can either get used to the idea of how it is at the moment and if you can't then the sub-forum will come back again. At least then we can say it has been trialed?

That sounds like a fair enough option really :)

It's not really something that needs to be trialed since it's not an activity-based decision, it's essentially a case of not attempting to fix something that was never broken, no matter how much its community may have dwindled in recent months. Adding prefixes for a specific runescape-related posts means those that don't play runescape and want to post in that section will be immediately alienated. Nobody can really dispute the fact that it makes far more sense for runescape to have its own subsection - not as a parent forum, but certainly within one of the gaming forum sections.

It allows users to discuss their shared interest in the game. Yes, lots of the posts were to congratulate users on their achievements or wish them luck with future goals but to say that's all the section was used for is simply untrue.

Other games don't share the same prefixes. It's like merging a movie and music section but only having [SINGLE] or [ALBUM] tags rather than giving them each their own subsection. :P

I still feel my deal is the best way to go about it at this moment in time. The week will be over soon :P

There was maybe several threads a month out with the G&A forum.

[RS] [RS-Goals/Achieves] [RS-Trading] then the other tags would work if that's your issue.

It is but that doesn't mean the decision to remove the subsection should have ever been made in the first place :P

Several threads a month isn't that bad really compared to some of the other MAIN forums, subforums etc, which is why I think it would be fine as a subforum for those that want it, since if it makes them happy then thats good xD


We shall wait until the weekend and see if there is any change in opinion once the new thing has been tried out.

Stop grasping at straws in attempt to peddle your precious prefixes. The 'Other Games' section is now cluttered and the problem would be better solved with the addition of a runescape subsection and that's all there is to it.

Guys just wait until the end of the week and see what happens, arguing about it isn't going to change anything now.
