Is it not a click of a button job? Surely more people would use it if it was on the front page rather than hidden which increases it's overall activity?

[Rixion]

Yep it's definately picking up again and will increase with the re-release of now defunct features which caused many users to quit.

[Conservative,]

I don't see no reason not trialing it, and it has been picking up.

Not only is wildy & free trade coming back I heard that "drops" are being allowed back (e.g, you drop your stuff and everyone can see it - no matter the value - hence allowing drop trading to come back) but that's just a rumour.

I want to be a member again lol, my membership just ran out oh well, I'm in favour of this anyway.

This isn't going to be one of those instances where a forum dies, gets moved, magically comes to life, gets moved back to where it was, dies again and you get an irritating circle of misfortunate events, is it? Bring it back as a trial by all means, but if it dies again keep it as a subforum until it comes back to life properly.

My worry precisely and I think Nicola has made a very good point in offering to wait and see.

I don't see whats so irritating or problematic about that? Surely it doesn't take that much effort to move a forum?

The big picture is that its a bad practice to adopt because of the implications it has for forum requests in the future. Certainly this is slightly different, but not (imo) extenuating enough that we won't have arguments about it in the future. Our members love to debate things so much and we spend hours dealing with technicalities (and I won't speak for others but for the most part I loved doing it as long as it was constructive - because it showed that at least some of the people really cared about Habbox's future, although some were just being obstinate). For this reason, having set policies for certain situations and general rationale can make things much easier as far as running the forum in a transparent and understandable way.

Well I think the answer is then is for the Runescape members to keep it active and spread the word to maintain sufficient activity then it looks like the forum could be back. It would be great to see .

It's not about the effort it takes to move a forum, that could be done in seconds it's the point of why this forum was moved to a subforum in the first place (not so long ago let's remember) - to move it back now would be a bit silly as activity has only increased recently - we cannot guaruntee that this activity will stay the same therefore it is the wisest decision to wait and see, if I had a Forum Manager who saw an idea in feedback and jumped at it without thinking about it properly then a month down the line the runescape forum was dead again and clogging up space on the index, that forum manager would look like a bit of a muppet, I know this because it's something I did a couple of times when I was Forum Manager and trust me it's one of the biggest mistakes you can make.

Read Catzsy's post and we'll see where it goes!

It's obvious what needs to be done guys so ditch this thread and head over to the RuneScape section, like Catzsy has said.
