Tip.It Times Presents: Functionality vs. Flash
I'd like to remind everyone that Castlewars will be getting changed for the graphical update. How much will be changed, who knows.

The History of RuneScape
I probably am the Runescape Historian :P. The article on runecrafting is brief, but that's a general accurate summary of what happened. The second article, however... We have no proof Zilyana is Icyene nore do we have any proof that they are the Vyrewatch. All we really know about the Icyene is that they died out after Draken took over and that they made the Godsword.

Replace picture B [hide=][/hide] This one's for Satenza. I am, of course, the guy on the left.

Cocaine Energy Drink.
350% vitamin C? 500% has been known to make most people pass out ill. This is just stupid. The ingredients are good in small amounts, but in that dosage some of that stuff can be lethal. There's a pretty damned good reason why it's illegal in many states. And to whoever said it, I doubt you drank two full cans. You'd be mentally [developmentally delayed]ed at least.

Will the new graphics be "Acceptable?"
I don't know what you are on about. Graphics on the SNES were the BOMB back in 1994.

Junk Trading: Acceptable, Practical Practice?
The problem is that Jagex seems to not notice that Junk trades are happening. The people watching GE prices see that most objects are moving and the people watching forums think that junk prices are correct, two different teams. To the above, that sentiment is why they are going to hurt trading badly. They are trying to prevent people from becoming unfairly rich, which is happening a lot with this junk system.

Helping Others - The best reward?
Some of the newbies I've helped have ended up becoming good friends and even growing stronger than me. It's always worth it.

My uncle is at a life threating situation
Sounds like Cerebral Hemorrhage to me (aka aneurysm). My grandfather had a blood clot that led to the same thing. Sadly he didn't survive but his pain was absolutely minimal. My prayers to you and your family.

Junk Trading: Acceptable, Practical Practice?
Good Lord, son. Jagex does not control the prices, PLAYERS DO. The reason price floors don't disappear is because Jagex set parameters for player transactions to change the pricing.

Junk Trading: Acceptable, Practical Practice?
Yes, this junk can act as a currency. But if you were selling something in real life, and someone offered you Iraqi money or something that had little value to you, would be hard to use in other transactions, and worst of all, had questionable stability (could change in value at any moment), why would you want that currency? In real life we're able to say no and ask for whatever currency we want. But in runescape we can't. And that's an almost game-breaking problem. And that's the exact problem. You can't say yes or no. The very people who say this is "necessary" are the ones who are abusing it and getting rich off of it. It either needs to be properly reformed, or murdered. It's going to boil down to Jagex either making one item trades or just removing the trading system period.

Junk Trading: Acceptable, Practical Practice?
Said Larry Carter, a 52 year old man from Orego, on his way into the courtroom. Mr. Carter was arrested by the Secret Service for 18 counts of fraud and tax evasion. It's easy to justify things. For one, who sets this "true price?" Because looking at the junk prices of items on the Runescape forums, they are every which way. There is no "true price." It's only true in the eyes of who is selling it.

In the upper right of the index, there is a link called "Mark Forums Read." Push it before you exit and you will have the same effect.

[Suggestion] Topic Preview
Dial-up shouldn't even matter. Do this for me. Exit of this topic to the Forum and Updates thread. Then hover your mouse over this topic. See the little square popup? We already have the feature, it just needs to give a preview rather than the date.

[Suggestion] Topic Preview
The thing is that nothing would be different. We already get the balloon now when we hover over a topic telling us what date and time it was posted. Try it. That's not so intrusive.

Israeli Checkpoints: Right or Wrong? (Summaries)
Such justification is pure idealistic nonsense. Numbers do not matter. What matters is that the rockets are being fired. If we make a numbers game it is easy to take sides. The fact is that we do not live in the world of Israel or Palestine and it is easy to judge living in our relative glass palaces.

Firefox Not Working Properly?
I had this very problem. Unfortunately, the fix was a nice long-overdo reformat. That was long after uninstalling Firefox and cleaning registry and all that jazz. There may be a solution out there, I don't know. I just took the easy way out (and as I said, I needed one to begin with). The problem didn't start until I downloaded RC1, though.

Your favorite book/book series
I haven't had a chance to read anything but scholarly texts in a long time. However, my favorites back in the long lost time when I had a chance to read were Tolkien, Lewis, and Lovecraft. I also enjoyed the odd Tom Clancy and enjoyed the Left Behind series (although I wish they would have left it off at Earth's end, because there's no real way to know what New Jerusalem would be like, and it just made it sound cheesy Baptist sounding. Which it very well could have been, but I would have loved to have left it to imagination :P).

[Suggestion] Topic Preview
At a number of phpBB2/3 forums I browse, there is a feature to hover over the title of a thread from the forum view that gives a brief preview of the opening lines of that thread in a balloon. Hopefully someone knows what I am talking about :P. Yeah, I know it won't be a high priority for a while and I do not expect it to be. I just wanted to raise awareness of the feature in the hopes of garnering support and maybe an installation :D.

Suggest a Style: PHPBB3
I will be the first to say that if Erddoth's theme gets implemented, I will most definitely be using it. It's beautiful and perfect for any browser theme.

Thumbs Up System
Seeing how much drama has been caused by the mere theory of this practice, the application of said practice meets my disapproval. I mean, honestly. We are getting this riled up over the suggestion. It's going to be screaming bloody murder if we actually implement this.

Im looking for some No Limit soldiers!
Pfft :P.

This will take a while
If you are going to be so shallow as to quit over a theme, you probably aren't feeling the connection on these boards. Plus, you are too lazy to read stickies so no offense but we won't miss you if you are going to act that way.
