I would disagree, the game played just fine without forums in the past and would survive going forward. Does the forums have benefits, yet but as egamma put, are they worth the trouble if it always breaks down to insults? The simple answer is no even with moderation you eventually have people that will continue to press and press until even the moderators say screw it, i'm done. The debate is whether its really good for gameplay and honestly imo its not, it takes away from it.
Stabbity, I did not miss the point of the roleplay forum, let me ask you a question as it just popped into my head, what if roleplays went island wide. That may not fix what you want but it is another option to consider
Except they don't always break down into insults, and the game was not playing fine without the forums, in fact the game has been dying for a long, long time.
