Removal of the runescape section

I agree that subforums are bad, because they are hidden from the main page. RuneScape had it's own forum however, and not a sub-forum. What you have just said we should avoid, is what has happened to RS with the change. Been hidden away :P

This is what I was going to say. My decision to merge debates would not have affected activity and both member's and official debates would remain equally popular. Plus, they were sub-forums. But as Runescape had its OWN forum with its own community, the repercussions would be more negative than positive :P.

Low activity (if you ignore the 8 threads created within minutes of each other in an attempt to get post count VIP), and it could be replaced by just a single thread of the same name...

Depends if the practicalities of a single forum outweigh that of a thread. A thread could become a mess of information making it hard to find values for a single item of furniture. It could become a sub-forum within a trading forum though.

It's wouldn't even be a useful sub-forum really :P It's an online game and can sit in the Other Games forum. If it had any appeal (Runescape) it could have a forum, but it hasn't for years.

By going with people earlier saying that the 'other games' forum is only going to contain runescape related posts then it's still going to be the same...

Which is yet another reason to question this move.

Hardly, shows that nothings changing but the name according to the people who are also agreeing with you.

People will find it harder to find on initially and who know, maybe you could have members signing up and staying because they see a clear section dedicated to the game. Secondly, go through all these annoying prefixes, minimization of forums if it wasn't broken?

Let's group debates into General and anything else that could further minimize the amount of forums on here.

People should have spoke up when they had the chance then. It's all good and well saying you don't like something but if you chose not to give your opinion at the time then thats your own fault. People need to give changes a chance instead of moaning about them all the time.

It shouldn't be about who speaks out the loudest or moans the best. It should be based on common sense.

Common sense to me dictates otherwise.

You are the forum manager are you not... Do you not manage the forums?

And Chris, you had a different opinion to that when you re-opened the poll for the assorted/misc introduction :P I would find the quote but I cba.

If you look at the feedback thread, the first page at least has more pro-RS than anti-RS. I'll go through the rest of the thread now and see how it tallies up.
