I'd like to remind people of the rules pertaining to Times threads:

[hide=Read these rules before posting in this thread]

Rampant flame wars have taken control of virtually every week's times discussion topics. The following guidelines must be followed when posting on this topic. Posts that ignore these guidelines will be removed.

1. You are invited and welcome to express like or dislike on articles and a particular author's writing style. It is not acceptable, however, to flame or personally insult an author. Posts that aren't anything but an attack will be removed from the topic.

2. Spelling and grammar errors can be reported to tripsis by PMing her and they will be fixed promptly. It is not necessary to post them on the discussion topic.

3. Off topic posts that do not discuss the content of that week's articles will be removed. This is not the place to discuss the direction of the times, how much you love or hate the times, etc. Off topic posts will be removed.

By keeping within these guidelines, Times discussion topics will mean more for the Panel and Administration than just a place for flame wars. Flame wars do not provide any useful feedback to the Times, which is mainly what we're aiming for with these topics: feedback.

This policy is effective as of now, November 17, 2010. Any posts prior to the creation of this policy may or may not be removed according to the new guidelines.

[hide=Submitting Crossword Puzzles]If you want to submit your own crossword puzzle, it's quite simple.

Simply provide a word list (about 10-20 words) with their corresponding clues. Then, message @Arceus with the word list and it will eventually be published in the Tip.it Times![/hide]

When replying please make sure to clarify the article you are replying to! Thanks!

If you spot any typos or mistakes in an article then please PM them to @Arceus.        :)

Enjoy the articles!

Not only did I grew up with Runescape, I now have friends whose kids are now doing the very same!  Even while rest of the gaming industry chugging through titles on annual basis, this one stood the test of time.  In that way, Runescape certainly is something special.

The feels of having remembering when you thought TIF was only going to be a place to talk about runescape and nothing else...

I joined 8 years ago...so that would make me a sophomore in high school. Thinking about those days makes me want to cry. I was not informed about a lot of things going on, I was very secluded (not very open about myself) and knew very little about how to communicate with others. I started here only talking about runescape and nothing else...then I ventured into the forum games...then went into Off-topic (especially the music and  video games sections). Over those few years I learned how to better communicate not only on a computer but in person as well. Won't say TIF was a MAJOR contributor to me maturing but it did help some.

 

I made some friends on runescape who I've maintained friendships at least in game and will stay like that until I quit forever or runescape dies. I also made a few friends who I would add later on social networking sites (however most have either left Facebook or made new ones and have not/will not add me). 

 

It's interesting to think what I would be like without runescape and TIF. Prior to all of this I was very quiet...and so conscious about me and what others thought of me I rarely got out my my shell. Now for the most part I wear my heart on my sleeve and I'm very open and happy with who I am. 

 

The memories TIF and runescape hold will stay with me forever. Maybe it's had a bigger impact on my life then I give it credit. Only time will tell.

RunEscape has been part of my life longer than I have lived without it.
