Removal of the runescape section

[Richie]

With a poll though, I'm sure many people would vote no, simply because they have no interest in RS. But out of the RS community on here, I'm not sure anyone would have voted for the change.

This, pretty much. Any decisions related to sections like this should really be decided based on comments from individual users so if the pros stack up against than the cons, that's how you'll make your decision. Silly decision that actually don't make any sense shouldn't be added to the equation, such as 'it looks messy'. The decision should have been based in an overall debate. That's what I think this forum is starting to lack in. Sometimes something that one person says can make a manager decide what stays / goes. As a manager, you should listen to the entire community, again weight the pros and cons, then make your final decision. It should be a community decision, not one that a manager feels is right. Running a forum how one likes it not how a whole would.

Yeh on second thoughts the poll idea always goes into the drain.

But, like I would argue, the pros would outweigh the cons here!

Like I said in previous posts if cons did out-weight the pros, I'd be like fair enough lads, you have a fair point. Even if activity was low, it shouldn't just be merged into a different section, it should be given a trial for lets say three months within that other section as a subforum, I think that seems reasonable. And I believe that protocol should be followed when a decision is made to remove any section. But hey, when was the last time things were reasonable around here!

Like I said in previous posts if there was better cons I'd be like fair enough lads, you have a fair point. Even if activity was low, it shouldn't just be merged into a different section, it should be given a trial for lets say three months within that other section as a subforum, I think that seems reasonable.

Yeh, forum activity is important and to squeeze communities that have people posting regularly (albeit not in masses) into such sub-forums never helps!

A few months back the Assorted/Misc was given a trial, how come this current decision isn't given a trial but is labelled as 'final'?

I sometimes wonder if HxF have a secret forum limit, because as of lately it seems that all sub forums must be eliminated and the number of forums kept to a minimum

As activity decreases on the forum overall, decisions are made to scrap certain sections / subforums just because lack of activity. I don't agree with it and its unfortunate because over time it'll happen again and again and we will be left with little, if even a forum. I'm talking in general. This thread isn't just about the runescape section anymore, it's lack of communication with the community, listening to a few heads give the nod, then slyly making a decision.

so what he have learned from this thread is people should stop listening to stop when he cries lol
i don't see why it was removed either, when i clicked new posts there always seemed to be at least something posted in it but whatever doesn't affect me

Well they are untidy and threads seem to go there to die A general forum approach is better, it keeps things organised and new and old users can find discussions they like. More sub-forums only really create organised chaos when in the forums they relate to - they can be forgotten about or overlooked. It happened with Debates and Technology.

That's a bit of a drama llama approach. Saying Habbox will eventually have no forums left at all suggests you do not really have any actual complaints and are just trying to sensationalise and, in turn, trivialise this discussion. The Runescape forum was a huge mess and wasn't really appealing to new members, and current member numbers have dropped so it was bound to happen. It's been on the cards for a few years now :/

If we're on the subjects of getting forums removed, can we get this removed?

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...
