5374 On other notes, I could kill the Admin who decided to perma-break my "I have returned..." link. :angry: ~Mr. "When I find out who... they're dead..." Devnull

I didn't know someone actually likes the RickRoll... :shock: 5376 ~Mr. Devnull

5383 :ohnoes: ~Mr. Devnull (p.s.: Too quiet in here...)

5419 ... LOL :lol: ~Mr. Devnull

5421 ....... Looks like this is one page I got to start AND finish... LOL :lol: (Click here for next page :arrow: ...) ~Mr. D. V. "I'm out for a bit, don't mess up while I'm away!" Devnull

5426 <*DVD pokes Albel to see if they're really alive, or if that's an automated poster they've left running...*> ~D. V. "I wonder just how awake they are..." Devnull

Oh, you know... the proverbial attempt at throwing me off? :P 5438 ~Mr. "lol..." Devnull

Heh... K, LOL :lol: Oh, we'll find a way to draw you in. :twisted: Click this :arrow: "Changes to the Hitpoints Skill ~ 03-Mar-2010" and this :arrow: "Free Player Forum Access Expanded ~ 15-Mar-2010" and then finally read this, a forum post of mine :arrow: "Post of the return of Mr. D. V. Devnull ~ 08 March 2010 @ 10:33 AM PDT" (Note the nifty formatting, LOL...) ... Put simply, it took a lot of major things to draw my interest once again, as well as something I'd rather not talk about, to cause my return. Any which way, I'm glad to be back, and this time probably to stay... B) What they said... and you can add the Forum Games section (my current haunt zone is the "Countdown From 15K" thread) to that little old list. :thumbsup: ~Mr. D. V. Devnull

Some things just never change... Bah... Not another one misspelling my name! :angry: You shall be drawn in further! You shall return! :P ~Mr. D. V. "Don't forget that 'v' in my name!" Devnull

5440 Ni-i-i-i-i-i-i-ice Try! Saw that one coming! :razz: ~D. V. Devnull

Ain't balanced, though. :P 5443 ~Mr. Devnull

Glad to see you again, Hobgoblin11... :thumbsup: ....... I was out for a year myself. When I came back, it was like a nuclear windstorm hit both RuneScape and Tip.It Forums. First look on my face was something like :shock: (shock emote) when I saw what has happened. Since then, I've kinda grown into it, little by little. :) ....... Still not up-to-speed, though. You can thank those damn merchers for that. <_< ....... And BTW, F2P'ers with 5M+ exp can now post on the forum, W00T!!! :D ....... You should eventually come back, though. The more oldies here, the better. B) ~Mr. D. V. "It's good to be one of the Tip.It Forum Community..." Devnull

5445 Hey, I got a palindrome! Sweet! :thumbsup: ~Mr. D. V. Devnull

<*DVD looks over, and pulverizes Napalm_Death with a giant metal bat due to feelings of envy...*> :mrgreen: 5447 ~Mr. D. V. "Gee, one more reason to whack them..." Devnull

5464 Agreed, run4runes... :mad: <*DVD pulls out "Valkirimedira" (his Grand Paladin Fighter Bow) and blasts Napalm_Death into the pavement so hard that it leaves a permanent dent. DVD then rapidly follows it up with a series of specially-designed missiles from his Grand Paladin Armor's shoulder-mounted multi-purpose launchers, blasting Napalm_Death down into the eventual equivalent of a giant ditch.*> And that time, he got plastered for two reasons... :angry: ~Mr. D. V. "Yes, I'm bent out of shape, damnit!" Devnull

<*DVD walks in, and starts feeling extreme 'Poké-hatred'... Click this to find out why...*> Dangit... even this thread didn't avoid getting mucked up with it... :angry: 5472 ~Mr. D. V. "[bLE-E-E-E-E-EP]" Devnull

Napalm_Death and xSarah, sitting in a tree ... :twss: ....... <*Keeps on laughing...*> 5504 ~Mr. "I suspect I'm going a bit far with this joke..." Devnull

Since we all know that Pokémon sucks, and compounded with the fact that you misspelled it by dropping the accentuation... I'm afraid only one thing can be said to you: (Credits to PhotoBucket user 'scooters61' for the image I found via Google's Image Search...) And where is the count? Ah, yes... 5509 ~Mr. D. V. "done, done, on to the next one..." Devnull (p.s.: If this weren't a Forum Games thread, I probably wouldn't have posted that image...)

5517 bottles of ............................... LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :XD: <*DVD falls over laughing due to Napalm_Death's post above...*> ~Mr. "LOL!" Devnull

Fun stuff... I've left my thoughts on :arrow: page 7 of the RSOF thread, about half-way down... Put simply, Jagex needs more forethought when creating new stuff like this, as well as the hindsight to clean up older stuff and/or improve upon it. <_< ~Mr. D. V. "Just my upset mental $0.02 on the issue..." Devnull

And here is the link that cites exactly what's above: 29-Mar-2010 - Egg-streme Management (Easter 2010) -- http://services.runescape.com/m=news/newsitem.ws?id=2806 Enjoy! :thumbsup: ~Mr. D. V. Devnull

jayc3399, if you wish to gain a ton of gp, then I personally recommend you look into 'Mining & Smithing' as an optimum combination for doing that gaining. To start, do Bronze-based items all the way to Level 30. You'll need 715 Bronze Bars to get there. Don't even worry about Iron, because with that low a Smithing Level, you would end up wasting far too many Iron Ores. After achieving Level 30 Smithing, however, switch totally to making Steel (Iron + Coal) items. It will take 1,600 Steel Bars, but you'll want to do this until Level 50, at which the next big gp-gainer unlocks, Mithril items. And don't worry about the Mining Level coming up far enough. As long as you mine all (or at least 95%+ of) your own stuff, that will never be a concern. :) Now, this whole time, I haven't mentioned what you can pair with it. TBH, as long as you plan on running your Range Level to at least Level 55 (making your Range Level remain in control of your Combat Level) or more, you could stand to also do some 'RuneCrafting & Mage' (which, yes, you can train magic mostly without combat as well, thankfully) alongside the 'Mining & Smithing' combination which I suggested. This would give you access to High Alchemy, which if you achieved that before you reached Smithing Level 48, would allow you to tap into a permanent incoming stream of gp from the 'Mining & Smithing' combination, enabling you to attain self-sufficiency. Cool, eh? :thumbsup: BTW, this particular method I suggest requires Zero (slang synonyms: Zip, Zilch, nada, none) gp to start with. TBH, that kinda makes it optimal to use. :thumbup: And that's just my thoughts on the matter. What you do, however, is entirely up to you. All I can do is lend you advice to make an informed decision with... B) ~Mr. D. V. "I'm full of F2P-based solutions..." Devnull

I probably won't be able to help further than this question... But, may I suggest that you check the drives with a utility that reads the "S.M.A.R.T." data? (If nothing else, it might help to relieve the paranoia?) :huh: ~D. V. "Just a thought..." Devnull

I can provide another option, albeit I don't know how well it can work for you, Howlin ... :) The name of the program is IZArc, and it is capable of handling just about any compressed file type you can end up running into. No joke, I'm very serious here. Go to http://www.izarc.org/ -- IZArc's official website in order to learn about it, download it, and generally check it out and utilize it. Heck, you might find, like me, that you want to make it the single utility for everything you do with compressed files. For me, it ended up replacing WinZip (among others) permanently. But don't take my word for it, go learn about it and see for yourself! :thumbsup: ~Mr. D. V. "Damnit, I don't like sounding like a walking advert..." Devnull
