I’ve noticed something..
And I feel like a complete jerk for really not noticing it sooner. I don’t normally spend my time reading topics in Runescape General Discussion since I don’t play RS anymore, but I’ve realised that the RS sections of our site consist of really good and interesting people. In some blog posts, I talk about the immature people on RSBANDB who act like sarcastic morons, but after really looking at the individual replies to topics in Runescape General Discussion and Runescape Questions, I really do think that we have a great and helpful community.
Because of this, I know that our community hasn’t really changed. When I first came to RSBANDB, I felt that there was a lot of really good and interesting discussion amongst people who typed well and were helpful. In the RS Questions forum alone, each question usually has about 3-15 replies from people who know what they’re talking about. Things haven’t changed. If you step outside the world of the Sandbox and Non-RS discussion, you’ll see good discussion going on. The only difference is that since I no longer play the game, I don’t really connect to what’s being said there. So the change is really just me, not any of you guys.
Wow, yes, I’m sort of babbling. But my main point is something I said in a blog post a really long time ago about how communities really don’t change, we do.

I actually noticed that the other day as well. Although it seems to me like a lot of different people post in the rs sections of the forums, and the jerks and idiots mainly confine themselves to the off topic and sandbox areas. The community hasn’t really changed, but I guess my perspective on what ‘the community’ is, has.

For the first time in nearly a year I posted in the RS-related forums.
There are some good topics.

Pitifully i cannot go into RS related forums and be a jerk and argue over every little thing due to the fact that i have nothing to argue about.
Wait, that does make difference!

I noticed this when I first came, and I was one of those people who didnt type well, that was when I was 11, now I’m 14, and 6-8th grade has taught me it pays to type PROPERLY even on games. But sadly, there is no more sandbox, and I still think Shane and Mike should have asked the users of RSBandB about that decision.
