Runescape Forums (14/Day) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ORIGINAL POST ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I have been doing some browsing around some Runescape sites/forums and I have come across a number of Runescape forums that are "fairly" popular that I never even knew existed. Now you might be saying that you find new sites all the time that you didn't know existed, but see I own what I'd consider to be a "fairly" popular Runescape forums, so I guess I sorta thought that I would have a bit more of a comprehensive view of the industry and would have known about these forums before they were even popular. So this got me thinking if there are "fairly" popular Runescape forums out there that are that I am only just finding now, I wonder how many more are out there that I still haven't found. Which got me to thinking it would be cool (at least more me) to try and work out somewhat of "Top 10 Most Popular Runescape Forums". You might have noticed I used the word "fairly" loosely because in comparison to tip it, let's face it - nothing is "popular" :shock:. I should make it clear - that this isn't a, which is the "Best" forum question, because everyone likes different things and no doubt you are a member here at tip it, like I am, because you think it is one of the best forums otherwise you wouldn't be here. So I'm thinking that the main form of ranking will have to come down to tings such as: Total Posts Total Members Number of New Posts a Day Number of New Members a Day Traffic Active Users So I guess with a focus on those stats you sort of get an idea of both the total size, growth and activity of forum, which would be (at least for me) the major indicators of the popularity of a forum. So here are the forums that I can think of off the top of my head that might be in the top 10, these of course aren't in order - because we'll have to investigate each forum's stats before we rank them. At the moment I'm just trying to get a list of forums to look into: Forums Considered in the Study Tip It Runescape Community - http://www.runescapecommunity.com Rune HQ - http://runehq.net/RHQInn Runescape Realm - http://www.runescaperealm.com/forums Rune Village - http://runevillage.net/ThePub Sal's - http://runescape.salmoneus.net/forums Runescape Boards - http://www.rsboards.com Runescape Forums - http://www.rsforums.net Rune Hints - http://runehints.com/forums/ Rune Masters - http://forum.runemasters.net/ Global Runescape - http://forum.global-rs.net/ Rune Web - http://forums.runeweb.net Rune Crypt - http://www.runecrypt.com/forum [Caution: Jagex Rule Violation] - RSBandB - http://forums.rsbandb.com Rune Board - http://www.runeboard.com There have got to be loads more that I'm missing. Also I think for this list we should probably exclude Clan sites, and focus on just solely Runescape Forums. So please post the ones I have obviously missed so we can start forming this list. Thanks. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Runescape Forums - Post and Member Count Experiement ----------------------------------------------------------------------- OK bascailly I'm just going to copy down all the current details of each of the forums, posts and members etc etc and then watch them over the week to see which site's are the most popular: Total Posts || Members || Site 1537964 || 90084 || Tip It 2806126 || 67261 || Rune Village 342125 || 59197 || Runescape Community 624954 || 77056 || Rune HQ 951680 || 15830 || Runescape Realm 311027 || 27214 || S ythe 212200 || 11653 || RSBandB 183916 || 7116 || Sal's 82058 || 10960 || Rune Crypt 84545 || 5487 || Runescape Boards 57404 || 4127 || Runescape Forums 38319 || 2416 || Rune Hints 57858 || 2470 || Rune Web 21450 || 1461 || Rune Board 9384 || 1069 || Global Runescape Site Down Rune Masters
