SwiftKit & SwiftIRC Partnerships

Posted Image
The entire Tip.It Staff is super thrilled to announce that we will be partnering with SwiftKit and SwiftIRC.  With SwiftKit, we will be the new providers of their client data.  In exchange for our data, they will bring Tip.It traffic through links in the client to "full versions" of quest guides, item pages, and more.  

Posted Image
As part of our agreement, we will be moving our official IRC channel from our own server to SwiftIRC.  From this, SwiftIRC get the additional users from Tip.It, and in return they will make announcements regarding some of our news and such for all of their users to see.

You can connect to the IRC channel either by using our IRC Chat Page or by pointing a client to connect directly:
Server: irc.swiftirc.net
Channel: #tip.it

In light of these changes, we have created a new forum below the RuneScape and Clan sections for all SwiftKit-related matters.  Check out the new forum here.  If you have any questions about the SwiftKit client, encounter any bugs, or would like to make suggestions, please post in the official SwiftKit board!

The Tip.It Staff and I are really excited about these partnerships and feel that they will heavily benefit everyone involved. :)

New Tip.It Feature: DGSweeper!

Posted Image

Over the last few days, we have been working with one of our staff members, Stev, to move his DGSweeper tool over to Tip.It!  If you're not familiar with this tool, here's some brief information:

Quote

The DGSweeper is a dungeoneering tool designed by Stev to redefine your dungeoneering experience. What began as a small project from a close friend, Andy (Cheeesy), quickly turned into over a year and a half of reshaping the way dungeoneering is played.
Dungeoneering takes concentration and focus to train efficiently. Let the DGSweeper take some of that load, allowing you to focus more on more important aspects of the floor. Trust me, you won't regret it!

This tool will now officially be hosted by Tip.It and will continue to be maintained by Stev with the aid of our staff.  We have a brand new forum available for all your DGSweeper needs.  If you need help with the client, have any questions, or would like to offer some suggestions, please check out our DGSweeper forum.

Note on Third-Party-Client Rules

As you know from this announcement, Tip.It is officially supporting two RuneScape-rule-abiding third party clients.  Therefore, you are now free to discuss and link to these approved clients (SwiftKit and DGSweeper).  However, we are still not allowing links to any other third party clients.  SwiftKit is a well known and trusted third party client and DGSweeper is hosted on Tip.It so we are able to monitor the code and ensure that it is safe.  We cannot guarantee the safety or security of any other third party clients, which is why we do not allow advertisements or links to them.  Please remember this when posting!

    I suppose we have to suspend judgment on the broken eggs (and the broken lives) until we can be sure that there will be no omelet. And even then, we may be indulgent on the grounds that the omelet might have been a good one, if only it had not been for so many events beyond the cook's control.

    Things have changed indeed. We weighed the choices and feel this was an outstanding win for us and our new partners. :)

    Glad we've switched over. We integrate over to Tip.it and I get accepted into the monster hunting team on the same day. #goodday

                         Currently hold the rank of 'Honoured' Member in OTG.

    Some pretty impressive player vs monster achievements.

    I've had fifty two sigils since release of corporeal beast.

    I've had sixty three drops from Nex in under six months.

    Close to 3 billion gold from doing player vs monster.

    A very happy day to see this finally happen. Looking forward to a long and fruitful partnership between us, SwiftKit, and SwiftIRC. Also very nice to see Stev's DGSweeper officially recognized and hosted by our site so that we can officially make it available to all of our users.

    This is all very cool :thumbsup:

    And of course a warm welcome to all the SwiftKit staff who have now joined us on the forums.
