Upcoming forum changes!


Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

We're in the process of making some changes to the forums and would like your feedback on the potential changes before we make them. Most of these changes involve general discussion.

 

Anywho, the changes we're proposing.

 

General Discussion changes

 

  • Make the Marketplace a subforum of General Discussion
  • Merge Debates into General Discussion
  • Talk about Runescape Bugs will now belong in general

 

And we're also planning on making a new board - the Runescape Media board, this board will be for Runescape related Videos, Machinima, creative art (fakes etc.).

 

The current sticky in General Discussion will remain there (The Screenshot thread) and this will not change. And also, to be clear, the new Media Board will NOT be a place to post Runescape Screenshots, those will remain where they are now.

 

Anyway, let us know what you think of these changes and unless we have any major objections we should be making these changes within a week.

 

Thanks,

DarkDude

Sounds good to me, but will the Bugs and Suggestions be its own subforum? Or will Suggestions remain an independent subforum while all topics about glitches will be discussed in General Discussion?

The suggestions subforum will remain (the name of it will change obviously).

Isn't /gd/ already kind of crowded?

 

I mean, adding bugs and debates won't make it too much of a central forum?

 

 

If not, then fine by me :).

 

Most bugs get discussed there anyway and the difference between debates and discussions is here nor there. Having them in one place too will lower things being discussed multiple times and keep everything in the same place, which should have a positive effect on the discussions instead of separating them into two separate places.

Ooh, a Tavernian was first. Nice goin' Sere! No big surprise though.

 

*ahem* I think the changes are fine... Not like I use the rest of the forum much anyways.

I concur, the marketplace from my knowledge isn't frequented very often, and so maybe this will bring life into it.

The runescape media board is a GREAT idea :thumbsup: , I've been personally wishing for this for a while now.

 

As for the other changes, moving older forums to the gen discussion; this sounds like a smart idea and will hopefully get more traffic there.

I'm sure you'll do a great job with the changes and I have no objection against em.

But why are you going to change it? :P

 

 

The marketplace move is mainly because there is very little activity there since the G.E. Debates i gather it is because it has also slowed down in activity, and as general discussion has grown since Debates was first introduced, it has caught up on the mature debates, and two places for them is not needed.

Basically these changes will help with the flow of the forum, making everything more convenient and in one place rather than broken up into many boards. The media board will hopefully be a popular place to share images and videos that are more than just random screenshots.

 

Glad to see some positive support. :)

hmm..

i dont think that making bugs in the game a general rs discussion topic is a good idea

 

Bugs are already discussed there, and we already have a forum for it.

 

Of course we wouldn't allow encouraging rule breaking or bug abuse like we do currently, however some bugs have an effect on the game and they need to be discussed

Not that I think you wouldn't, but just in case- I'm pretty sure you should put extra emphasis and make sure it's very very clear, what bugs can be discussed and when. Otherwise, I forsee lots of bannin'.

I'll be making sure bugs are only discussed and that how to do them is not explained. And as always making sure people don't abuse said bugs.
