I basically used the market forums to post my offers before GE.

Back in the ancient time, it wasn't easy to trade bulk items and I happened to make a good chunk of gp through trading so I just used the market forums.

Otherwise, most of the time it was just trash talk in the forums.

Oh yes... a lot of spammers too. :D:D:D

As I am catching up on all the community's discussions, I must say that I very much enjoyed this thread.

I do not have any memories of my first post as a player but I used to be on the forums actively to help me find skilling supplies before the GE was implemented.

Right now, this thread is also very interesting for us to hear your feedback and the use of this forum for your suggestions on how we can improve your experience, so thank you for participating everyone! :)

I made This.

now I have dozens of HUGE threads, most of which are in old school content suggestions, some in game content suggestions.

I'm aided in my endeavors by my typing speed- this post was about 20 seconds.

I think my first forum experience was for selling a bunch of yew longbow (u) that I had fletched. Someone referred me to w2 in Seers Village where there was bunch of people buying/selling fletching and alch supplies. Community Manager for Jagex

Lurked every section during the 2000s, nothing really stood out but ultimately landed in the Rants forum. There was so much spam/trolling after removal of free trade which got me a lot of giggles reading. Around that time the resting/sitting update was also released, which at first caused plateskirt-wearing girls to uh.. 'reveal'. A jmod had posted a stickied announcement about fixing it, and I teased her about her wording for 'sitting with dignity'. :P

The forum sections I originally spent a lot of time in were Quests and Clue Scrolls, since I liked helping people, and it was useful for advice at the time. Clue Scrolls in particular was fun, since you weren't allowed to post direct answers, so I used to write an alternate riddle to point to the same location. It was really fun. :D

I did fall afoul of the Forum Specific Rules once, though - I was fine on the Forum Code of Conduct, but the fact there were separate rules for each section had totally passed me by! That was for giving direct answers in Clue Scrolls, hence why I went to the riddle method. :D

*waves at Aeon*... (3 months after the fact) :P

Have I posted here? I can't remember...

I don't remember the specifics of my first forum experience as it was quite some time ago, but I remember I used to spend lots of time in General and Tech Support. The forums were crazy busy all the time which was good (unless you were trying to keep a thread on page 1 for exposure).

I remember seeing hidden posts just disappeared without placeholders... oh, what a time to be a forumer. :P

Edit: Yep, I've posted on this thread before. I thought it seemed familiar! lol (post)

It was a nice time reading some posts here.

My first experiences on the Runescape forum are kind of vague in my memory, I remember interacting a lot with general chat topics. I started being an active user on the Funorb forum. I really enjoyed interacting with users attending events there. Then I returned to the Runescape forums, when they released subforums for the subcommunities.

I only started playing a few weeks ago, and it took another week for me to make some forum posts.

I commented in the mobile early access section, as I am playing on my tablet.
After a few comments and making several threads, I decided to have a look around the other posts there. There does not seem to be much conversation between game developers and players :(

My earliest and most memorable was definitely selling ridiculous amounts of Bowstrings after picking Flax for hours on end to make them :D

I remember it feeling like a proper business, where there was always tons of demand and I always enjoyed meeting up with people to trade with :)
