It would be nice to have old designed Rs website, i know it's not hard to do. Thoughts?

Example: http://2006-revolution.goodluckwith.us (not an ad, that project is dead)

There's no need for it, and it's likely the reason why 2006scape isn't around anymore...

I don't think that would be a good idea.  It just may be the straw that gets this camel's back broken.  You can't copyright code per se, but you can graphics, layout, design, and even style names.

You have to remember, Jagex has more money and better attorneys then we do.  They're also in the same club, if you will, with all the major CEOs of the corps everyone here uses to advertise.

They have several options for changing the color of the forums and behind the game.  Hover on your Profile link above, and from the drop down, click Forum Profile.  Then Hover over the Modify Profile, and click Look and Layout. :)

Lol no. I was a 2006scape member before and that wasn't the reason it was shut down. Their head admin, Mod vault made a few hundred thousand dollars which was majorly distributed among lawyers and mods. He ran away with the remaining money and shut the site down.

Most companies, and this is true with most graphic artists.  They don't come after you until you make a substantial amount of money.  Then they want their share, which is most, if you are violating copyright.

There isn't a judge on this earth that won't side with them...

Tbh it's not worth the risk to make the site too much like rs. And I happen to like bright forums, though I seem to be the only one.. xD

No for sure! 2006Scape got shut down for copyrighting Runescape's old runescape designed forums. So definite NO.

Yeah, I'd much rather have those forums, but it would probably cause us much more trouble.

I would like it, but then copyright issues come in.  I would like any type of forum change tbh

No do not change it... copyright issues will hit us hard and strong

Using their homepage would allow them to claim copyright on us, we want to host this server by the books, currently nothing we're doing is illegal and we're going to keep it that way. :) Thanks for the suggestion though mate, if you come up with any other ideas of how we can bring back more of the magic of 2006 feel free to post them.
