Good thing that I checked here as well before thinking of making a thread. :XD: Anyone with >100 posts, has been active, and posted recently? Heck, this helps weed out spambots, let alone any other nice things the new grouping might get. At this point, getting decreased flood limit time (would help when I'm trying to add someone's quote to my post because of an afterthought, that's for sure) would be a nice icing on the cake. |^_^| Consider me in approval of this change! :thumbsup: ~D. V. "LIKE! LIKE! LIKE! ... To hell with those spambots!" Devnull

If you check my post history, you'll find that's false. I have been there before, albeit I'm not sure exactly how many times in the past that I have. The only reason why I hadn't used it recently was due to a lack of a question or item that I thought might be discussable without getting flamed/trolled by someone. That, and I hadn't found something to reply to without causing severe hyper-thread-necrosis, which would have gotten me shot by a Mod/Admin anyway! As for the reason I'm torn up over the total removal? Primarily because this likely means I can no longer get back to my old posts from there. But this also means anything that FunOrb/SD/WoL users now start is likely to get washed away in a sea of other stuff in VG&C... :wall: ~D. V. "Etiquette vs. Memories vs. Beginnings vs. Ends... what a massive pain..." Devnull (p.s.: Pardon the off-topic, but I'm surprised you're like the only active Admin posting on this thread. Have they turned you into the "P.R. Lady" or something?!?!?)

<*walks off, raging the whole way, and causes a door to fall off its' hinges as they slam it closed behind them*> These two changes are going to cause issues. I can just see it coming. <_< BTW, I see they missed listening to at least 4 of us on this thread. There should have at least kept a condensed board for that second item, "Other Jagex Games". Sadly, I can now sense this thread getting buried by time. :angry: ~D. V. "DO NOT WANT" Devnull

Last I checked, they were not... Technical issues, Reporting issues, and all that... :-| ~D. V. "Eh... nope." Devnull

My view as well. :) May be a bit biased though. :P Meh... I as well could put up with all the threads for Other Jagex Games being put into a single forum area. :shades: But, remove the area entirely and dump it in with VG&C? I would still rage if that happened. :evil: ~D. V. "Compression, instead of removal? To me, that's a fair compromise." Devnull ================================================== Something I forgot... [bUZZ] Sorry, but that would cause too much havoc/chaos! And now, here's your consequence! :twisted: <*sees a boxing glove pop out of a hole in the wall and punch who_am_i so hard that they fly away, totally unconscious*> ~D. V. "Couldn't help myself... LOL" Devnull

Okay, here I go with an item-by-item (which I normally don't resort to) breakdown... If you're going to do this, make the subforum name "Data and Research (Metagame Discussion)". Otherwise, it will lose most of what causes it to make sense, which may cause some people to lose track of where that forum went. :-| As long as it remains with a RuneScape-related requirement, I don't see any problem with this one. :) Again, no problems here, I think. I might however re-categorize this forum in order to allow for more than just RuneScape events. We could potentially allow for FunOrb/WoL/etc. (e.g.: Any Jagex-made game) events here, depending on the retaining of the current FunOrb/WoL/SD forums. ;) Personally, I'm surprised I haven't already seen a bunch of FunOrb-linked event threads down in its' board already. But, that may have been caused by the original lack of early adoption of a board for FunOrb-related stuff. :roll: Seriously? Yuck. This would be like dumping iced tea in someone's hot coffee. Seeing as I'm not a PK'ing-oriented person, I would very much prefer not having PK'ing-related content in my face while I'm trying to look at the non-PK'ing-content of the H&A Forum! Of course, did you Mods/Admins think of Skiller/PvM players (of which I happen to be one of) when you thought of this? :angry: While I don't visit Off-Topic, and don't have much of a personal tilt on this at all, I would beware the current Sports & Fitness crowd. I don't like the idea of hearing the serving of a bunch of knuckle sandwiches because they got mad at having their stuff merged with the usual Off-Topic traffic. :ohnoes: Eh, good luck with this one. You might get an uproar from those who prefer their literary discussions separate from the usual Off-Topic traffic. :-s Uhh... NO... Just flat [bleep] NO! Dropping discussion of these in with PC/Console games is asking for nothing short of serious trouble. (That, and I don't need to land up with a good discussion about something like FunOrb's Arcanists and/or Steel Sentinels shoved down 3 pages by useless stuff... i.e.: Spongebob Squarepants, Crash Bandicoot, and/or Banjo-Kazooie ... the list goes on...) Especially if it gets limited to just one thread per game. Just have a look at the FunOrb Discussion forum, and you'll see just how multi-threaded and expanded things have been. And if FunOrb itself ever gets off the ground again? Well, this kind of removal/merge would result in a definite uproar. One you can be certain you'll find me involved with! :evil: BTW, I may not be into Stellar Dawn and/or WoL, but I sense the same risk of trouble with removing these. In all cases, the last post dates may be somewhat old, but there are still Tip.It'ers who play those games from Jagex. :huh: I hope you checked with Silverion himself on this one. As I understand it, most of ARENAScape's history is there, and it will likely cause hell if this one is removed. :sad: After having reviewed the discussion of this particular item so far, I'm not going to even try to get involved with this. Consider me as "No Comment. Have fun bashing each other!" ... :twss: Pardon me while I go relax my brain now. I just reminded myself what overload feels like... the hard way. <_< ~D. V. "I get the feeling someone is asking for trouble... but it ain't me, even though someone's got me seeing red..." Devnull

I'll handle this last part... Yes, in fact we have two. They are as follows... Friend Chat Channel -- Username "Shyla" Clan Chat Channel -- Clan Name "HYT" (BTW, you can use the "Visited Clan Chat" section to access it in-game.) BTW, while neither is official, these are as close as you'll ever get. They are the "Official 'Unofficial' chat channels" of Tip.It and its' Forums. Oh, and if/when you do come, let them know I sent you. Other than that, have fun, and I'll see you around sometime! :thumbsup: ~D. V. "We have chat channels... there they are... see you there!" Devnull

I know that's what you meant. ;) Heck, it would be awesome to have per-user muting ability. :D ~D. V. "Let's make it fine-tuned, too!" Devnull

Right? Ever heard of a mute button.? Ha ha... Indeed. :XD: ~D. V. "Yep... LOL" Devnull

Honestly, I could only see doing this as long as there was a constant 2-minute back-buffer of voice chat held by the game server and/or clients for reporting purposes. But that would only cause a ton of laggy overhead. Plus, how would you control dynamics for area-limited chat anyway? Ah well, until they could figure it out, I think we won't ever be seeing voice chat in RuneScape. :-| ~D. V. "Nice idea... but too unlikely due to tech issues..." Devnull

Before I get started, I will say that it was a good listen. However, on deep inspection, I noticed the chimes were a bit weak throughout. And the drums? Good in some spots, but way too strong in others. If I possessed the tools/know-how, I would definitely re-build those sections to be more true to the old RS Main Theme but still revamped, seeing as I know what it really sounds like. But other than that, I think the piece was fine. 1 thumb up from me, I'll make it 2 on a proper revamp. :thumbup: ~Mr. D. V. "Very good, but needs a tune-up..." Devnull

@ Tripsis -- Well done on the AnchorLink Button! It identifies itself perfectly! :thumbsup: ~D. V. "Awesome!" Devnull

Thank you for adding what you have so far. :) BTW, so that your life can be made extremely easy (read "possible to do in your sleep"), might I suggest making the anchorlink button an anchor with a quote snapback arrow? :D ~D. V. "Nice! Have an idea to boost along with!" Devnull

Have a look at your skill guide. 70 Prayer grants you the ability to bless gravemarkers, causing them to last for a full hour. While you can't bless your own, you most certainly can help a friend/teammate not lose theirs, along with the stuff that's sitting under it. :D ~D. V. "There's more reasons than what's obvious..." Devnull

Get 'Prayer 70', Gilformen... You'll be very glad that you did. :thumbsup: ~D. V. "I'm still trying to get it myself!" Devnull

First off, congratulations on implementing this feature! :thumbsup: Now, I've gotta ask... Could we please have some toolbar buttons for implementing usage of these, as well as the QFC tag, please? :idea: ~D. V. "Well done! And yet I feel like something's missing?" Devnull

While there are no official channels, Magzar, there are the following unofficial ones: 'Shyla' (occasionally aka 'Lady Heinous') -- Tip.It's main unofficial channel... If you want your daily family-friendly dose of Tip.It crazy, come to here. 'Codguy' -- A mostly unfiltered off-topic channel... Only come here while you can stomach it. Leave when you can't. Have fun, and maybe we'll see you around? :shades: ~D. V. "Best that I can recall..." Devnull

<*WolfieMario receives a Genie Lamp that grants them +1,000,000 exp in their Faking Skill...*> Well done! You had me laughing in the first watch! :lol: I happen to wonder, though, if some other clan would argue about whose Clan Citadel floats overhead of the Duel Arena? Could be a bloody battle worth selling tickets and having betting for! :P ~Mr. D. V. "Nice! LMAO!" Devnull

Hello, everyone... :) Regarding Dungeoneering, I was wondering... When someone hits 200m xp in the skill and therefore can't gain any more xp, can they still gain tokens from completing Daemonheim's dungeons? I would like to think that token gain is unlimited, but seeing as RS does have some limits, I figured that I should ask. Who wouldn't really hate to hit a lifetime token limit without any warning that it would happen, eh? :huh: ~D. V. "I'm probably asking about this long before I should..." Devnull

Hey, all... In addition to the lag at the server's end, there is also the lag caused by the many routers used to connect to that server and the amount of load they're under already before that connection is made. If you really want things to be 100% totally lag-free, all the idiots trying to hack/spam/dos/<insert-problem-cause-here>/etc. others on the internet are going to have to be done away with. Until then, well, lag isn't something that can be done away with. Now if only we could get Jagex to properly real-time test with these issues, so they understand how bad it really is for us users... <_< ~D. V. "And that's why we'll probably never have a lag-free game..." Devnull

Any chance we could ask our representative (Peter, right?) who's already got an account over there to take this up with IPB instead? My e-mail bin is buried in spam rather badly still, even though I'm trying to climb out of that, and I can't just go wandering around making accounts on the web. :oops: ~D. V. "Too buried in spam to do it myself..." Devnull (p.s.: Have a laugh, if you must... but I don't feel like being buried in spam is that funny...)

@Tecmaster -- I support as well. :thumbup: @tripsis -- Doesn't that seem kind of silly of IPB to eliminate the alternate choice for someone's profile versus someone's post avatar? I just don't see the point in doing that, even in a later version. Sure, my own two match right now. But what if I want to have them be different, yet the feature's been removed, thereby denying that ability? :huh: ~D. V. "I sense a dose of ludicrous here..." Devnull (p.s.: Sorry about being 23 days late to the thread...)

Called it, six posts before this one. Sadly, I wish it hadn't happened. I liked this idea. :( ~Mr. D. V. "Aaaaaaaauuuuuuuuugggggggghhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!" Devnull

In that case, Jagex has changed things again since what I last read on the RSOF. I wish I had the QFC on file so I could point you to what I had last known. -.- ~D. V. "I hate when companies change things without giving their users enough visible info..." Devnull

Hey, GH, could you turn that RSOF QFC of yours into a useable link with a 'QFC Tag' please? :idea: ~D. V. "Why you haven't already, I don't know..." Devnull
