In spite of recent events and actions by JaGeX, Rune Gear has been struck by a once inevitable cause of concern. This cause of concern has just occurred, and we've been affected heavily. With the recent merge came an influx of traffic and activity, almost 8x the activity. This is obviously an advantage of being based upon an active game, meaning we were also exposed to the negatives. Recently, JaGeX decided to use a clearly offensive term to describe their actions in an effort to combat botting. Oddly enough, they succeeded. Considering it's one of the largest efforts they've put, they've utterly destroyed any source of legal cheating, and therefore a majority of the traffic we received. We do have an active RS General Discussion forum, but who are we kidding? Our major source of discussion came from RS botting, luring and cheating, and now that's been struck by a significant maneuver. We still have active discussion that is 2.5x more active when compared to pre-merge activity, although we need to continue into the new age of RS discussion. Botting is clearly a discussion of the past, unless bot developers have some secret trick up their sleeves, which in my opinion will be futile to JaGeX's effort. With this occurrence, RG must adapt to new situations and focus on what we can do. Nonetheless, we've been struck the least in my opinion. Our competitors are displaying a record decrease in activity to nearly 200 post.
I'm proposing a few options RG can take, which will continuously be revamped till I feel we've perfected a state of action that also fits within our objectives. These are:

- Focus on RS hacking and other forms of cheating.
