Removal of the runescape section

[scottish]

It wasn't active enough to warrant a forum dedicated to it though as I just said..

If it was getting a good few posts a day or something okay, but like 5 in 2 weeks? and even before that hasn't been active in a good amount of time..

The section has never been removed?

The section used to have 4 subforums which has been changed a few times then went down to 2.
The section got asked to be merged several times but was always refused as people actually posted in it then

It's not in 'other games' with the RS prefix which is more than enough as it's activity is so low.

When I checked I think there had been like 2 G&A posts this year, 1 trading post this year and maybe 2 in the rs section.. it in no way needed a subforum any more, maybe back in the day when there was tons of people playing..

Oh must of been when I wasn't here then, and it wasn't active at all now really lol

Saying that there were only 2/3 threads this year is hardly a valid statement considering we're only 2 weeks into the new year. There were quite a few threads created in December if I remember correctly. The forum will probably come back when people get tired of that forum being spammed with just RS threads. I think if you look at it now, the majority of threads are RS. I'm not fussed either way, since I don't exactly click on forums and look at all recent threads very often.

Good point. Lets remove other subforums like this because it has only got two posts in the last two weeks http://www.habboxforum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=700


Everyone knows the activity isn't as good as it used to be but that doesn't mean we should remove every other section that lacks in activity for a small time. Give it time, discuss it with those users who do use it before placing the section on 'a trial activity'.

there's the old thread when it got removed and put as a subforum to bring it back as its own forum. knew I wasn't going senile although turns out I was rather neutral about its return and did not mind either way.

Good point. Lets remove other sections like this because it's pretty much dead atm http://www.habboxforum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=700

I'm all for that although that's a subforum and not a main forum visible on the forum home page.

and Kardan, 'online games' wasn't the most active place before, so merging it with RS will allow both to keep the forum populated?

Its gone for good.

ah, well i didn't come back until like august 2011 I believe so that explains it

This is just via looking at the other games forum:

In the last 2 weeks, since 31st Dec: 9 threads created, 53 replies.

That's just looking at NEW threads created. There's a lot more activity if you look at new posts to threads older than that. I'm sure someone could whip out some statistics from some website...

Its gone for good.

Oh look, activity is poor, lets remove this section.

Different strokes for different folks. Just because you didn't play / like runescape doesn't mean it should be remove. Others like books, I don't, I respect that and ignore the section even though at times activity is poor. I don't light up my stick and demand it be removed. That is a poor response. What happens when you leave? What happens if runescape activity picks up again? (which has proven time and time again)

I'm indifferent on whether it has it's own or stays merged, but saying there were 2/3 threads/posts in 2 weeks just isn't true The section was popular enough to stand on it's own feet.
