Don't take this the wrong way, but....
We should not be encouraging people to go to other communities to recruit. We should fix the current system we have to work HERE. We should try to keep our members in our community. We should consider whats good and bad with our system, and add more good, remove more bad.
Every time I here someone say "they just go to RSC" or "you can find that on RSC" I always think of why can't we make RV a place where people can go for that.
Also, to my knowlege RV has the best official community clan: RVA.
Join that if you can't find any clans you like that have posted in the Clan Recruitment forum.This isn't an act out of failure, Toku. If we were to terminate the forum it wouldn't be because we couldn't offer what Zybez can. We very well could offer all Zybez offers and more, but the bottom line is their activity is significantly higher than ours.
There's next to zero threads in Clan Recruitment by people that are even remotely interested in RuneVillage. They see us as somewhere in which they can advertise their clan; nothing more. If we had a problem with this alone, I'd be definitely pro a post count requirement. But, if that was to be rectified, we'd have next to zero threads in the forum.
That's true. I understand where you're coming from.

There is always a balance between activity and number of forums. Usually less active forums have less forum sections, while the more active it gets, the more they specify the forum.

Sal's and RSC have active communities because they have their RAW lists and are involved in clans and wars and stuff. So people have friends there and they can discuss who won what, who is better, etc. Here its just a forum where people post a recruitment. I doubt anyone checks their actually.
FoD is dead. Its nice to have and stuff, but really inactive. No harm in keeping it, but it would take me a week to notice its non-existence. Nothing happens there outside of Justin's and Eric's galleries.
Terminate Clan Recruitment, its just a junk forum now.

I don't think merging FoD with RVA would be a good idea. We have to remove members quite often, due to various reasons. It's a private forum anyway.
No one has suggested that, Toku.
Dark suggested that the Field of Death and RVA Forums are both moved into the RuneScape! Category.

on another note recently I joined a clan and I found out about the clan on Clan recruitment here so I don't think getting rid of it is a food idea but I would like to see the spam of that forum go Down or Merge with another forum.

The Clan recruitment forum is pretty dead. Most of us players are soloers or duoers anyway, and don' t really make clans. I do like clans, but making clans in RV isn't that easy, for the reason I just mentioned. I guess the best place to create a clan is by RS forums. I also noticed people prefer having events (in the party forum) instead of clans, or just join the RVA.
So in my opinion, Clan Recruitment can be removed.

If that was instated, there would be one post in that forum (excluding stickies) being Boa's TER topic. (Link) For that reason alone I don't think this suggestion would work.
That being said, I really wouldn't mind the whole forum being removed. I'm sure something could be worked out with Boa.
There'd be the RVA recruitment also.
To be honest, the clans don't even get replies, so there isn't much point having the forum at all really.
I like the idea of the merge / movement of the forums though.

I posted quite a large post on the suggestion global Applequest had running several days ago, in essence the post suggested that Clan Recruitment was removed, PvP Discussion + Field of Death were merged. With this, the category would have two forums, the RVA forum as well as a merged 'PvP Forum'. These two forums could easily be moved to the RuneScape! Category and the whole Player VS. Player Category could be removed.
It would only raise activity. With Jagex's December 10th update, PvP took a hard hit, and the PvP Discussion and Field of Death forums are nothing compared to what they once were. They could easily coexist as one forum, and moving it to the RuneScape! Category would draw more attention to a dying, but needed forum.
The RVA would only benefit also.
