For all intents and purposes, this site is pretty much dead, as are forums in general. And that's rather unfortunate considering how much of an influence RSC was on my adolescence. 

I joined Runescape Community on August 27, 2002. I was 14. I had been a long-time poster on a different site called RSPlanet, but that site had for some reason decided to merge with zybez in the summer of 2002. Many of the long term posters were opposed to it, and never moved over to the new site, but I did.

As the years passed, I remained active on RSC, eventually moving up to become a Senior Mod. Along the way, I met many people I became friends with, some whom I still talk to on a regular basis all these years later. Actively posting on forums like RSC really helped my writing, something you might find hard to believe, reading this. Alas with the passing of the years my eloquence has diminished. 

Runescape Community might be a faint shell of its former self, but still, being able to mark 20 years of participation on an internet forum is pretty neat. So three cheers for me, and to all those who I conversed with frequently on RSC, or on IRC, or MSN back in the early to mid '00s, thanks for all the memories. I hope y'all are doing well.
Damn son.
1/5th of a century. That's some commitment.

Cheesy, but I love the line from the office about not realizing you're in the good ol' days until they're over. We come back because nostalgia and memory. I'm glad you had some great memories that live on Smile
It's a shame we couldn't keep the forum going when Curse decided to pull it. It would never have competed with Reddit in todays internet, but the sentimental value would have been priceless and could have always served as that last place to discuss the game, free from being overwhelmed with shitposts and memes that Reddit likes to drown in.

I logged into an ancient Photobucket account I have not so long back. Still have all the old award banners backed up in there that we used to give out for the PKD awards. My God the memories.
I'm sure in the (near) future, ChatGPT or some other AI would ingest the entire archive of RSC's old posts (and remember, many of us had 1000s) and be able to draw a pretty interesting picture (figuratively speaking) of our gaming personalities.

You can check out this link if you want to remember how RSC was from the earliest day in 2002 till today

If you still remember your RSC login details, you can login and browse around in the archives to remember your RSC moments

I wish I still got my Zybez Exclusives Badge but oh well

Cheers for 20+ years of Zybez and RuneScape Community

I wish you all well
