I'd like to think you just made mod hohbien cry but i agree with dd, they are obviously departmental and the community team has nothing to do with game development, but maybe if they did take personnel out of community management (which i see as useless come on they have done nothing interesting) things would be different. but that's a different discussion i suppose I can't believe people are upset about tip.it not being platinum, for me that's not the point, I think there is a much worse underlying issue here as people have said. It's not like there will be any significant difference from these ranks.

If he knows more, I'd love to hear it. I don't even know who runs the show here anymore, and I think hearing about stuff like ad revenues and backroom deals would calm people down. but like you say as a site admin he's hardly going to say jagex is being stupid on a jagex approved forum

I wrote content for another site at the time of release of MEP2 and was personally asked by Mod Mark not to write a guide for it. However they can not in anyway, shape, or form stop people from writing guides. They can REQUEST it, and people (Tip.It for example) abided by it for respect for Jagex, not for legal reasons. Ya they can't really use "brute force" to control fan sites, but they can use back-stab attacks to control them. All they have to say is: "Monitor all your threads and anyone posting a picture/knowledge of any unfair game-play/bug should be reported to us. If you don't comply with this your fan-site will be starred-out and reportable if said in-game." With a small quick step they have control of any fan-sites they want, and in the same way promote the ones over those that do not follow them. For once in my life, I wholeheartedly agree with Me Hate Limbs statement. And that's saying alot. I'm sure there are legal aspects they can use as control, English law is very good at being a blunt instrument for use by companies against people they don't agree with, but I don't know the specifics. But yes I agree, and this is going to be a pivotal point if this is the way jagex is heading. But I don't know that. and I was expecting more of a smackdown from MHL, i'm disappointed

Jagex wont ever try and control the forums/site. 1 - its illegal 2 - they wouldnt hurt their own business to police some fansite. (They have mods on the RSOF to ban you if you don't agree) I don't know why you think it is illegal, but in the past jagex has asked for editorials to be removed (and threatened legal action IIRC) they also have asked for guides not to be released for a few weeks after new content (my memory is hazy here but i'm sure i remember this happening across some sites, mep2 i think it was) at the end of the day, this site is based on Jagex's intellectual property and therefore they can ask pretty much anything they like.

Zybez (aKa RSC) is off the list because Jagex's advertising would have caused them significant financial harm, as i can imagine it is doing to the fansites who accepted jagex influence (including tipit). Zybez made the right move, they have a very good mainpage and the forums are large, popular and still hold the main stake in clan community. However, I have used Tip.It for a very long time and it is sad to see this happen. What will jagex ask for next? controlling threads? asking for posters they don't agree with to be banned? I think this is a slippery slope. I don't care about the akward, answer dodging interviews with jagex, the "exclusive" concept art and community events. I don't care about stupid rankings, visits to the HQ. As a tip.it user i care about the quality of the site's content, which is brilliant now and has always been brilliant, without jagex approval or not. Like i said, look at Zybez. Jagex did not treat them with the respect they deserve (read W13's correspondence with them). they took the decision, and they still succeed to this day.

ahh you should've come with us last night or are you still banned off irc

i lol'd. and the song is epic..new [cabbage] by marilyn manson..one of my favs :3 and bacon, whens the pic coming of you solo'ing a bgs already put together + full bandos in 1 kill? a good example of how people like nicking stuff on youtube - the original actually had MCR's "Famous Last Words" accompanying it, which was a lot more climactic. was the most tense runescape video i ever did see best part is I seem to remember AG catching him later that week for the same gear+fury (he didn't get away that time) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1slY3Nddd_Q Original one. I like it much better with that song :) Now we're watching epic old school videos.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqYBVDp9AaM voltago+third age+mb+KMFDM = every reason I miss old wild. he didn't even take mage def most of the time

10/10 then. enjoy the shield

I always look forward to your bank pics, and i'm not disappointed :thumbup: I don't think you've ever posted your stats - that's alright, but is it safe to assume you're maxed? 10/10 always

I prefer the uncut sapphires congratulations, have you sold it for street value? what are you going to do with all that cash?

apparently I last logged in 455 days ago, which is strange because I last logged in...about two hours ago (and daily on this account) anyone else got this?

Libel law across the globe is nasty stuff, and he was lucky to get away from that cleanly. props to him, and mmg - nice to see UK gaming stick together. Everyone's so eager to see what mmg said, it almost makes me think you're expecting him to have been dropping new skill hints in the courtroom lol

I don't feel the need to complain much seeing as there is more than enough in the game already to keep me and most players happy. i can't really remember, were people this disgruntled in the run-up to summoning? i.e unhappy with low-quality updates in the run-up to release.

lol'd quite a bit

congrats, saw you at goblin village this morning lol :oops: and it was a shame to see DI close last year. i hope some of you are still pking together

yeah, lol just surprised i'm not used to being hyt'd outside of w99 thanks

title made me choke on my soup

so i'm looking for information on the best methods/setups for them- I'd prefer to do melee, is normal gear, monks super set and uni fine or do i need mage def or nonstop prayer? is ranging decent? i know you can just stand beside some scenery and they won't burrow, but do you still need prayer? I know mage destroys them pretty fast but i'd rather melee. thanks

congrats, nice crafting B)

my current slayer assigment is: battlements

I still see quite a lot of 80-90 wearing them. I always preferred legends cape anyway

Nice back to back pelvis bone drops that's fairly common when u finish rag and bone man quest... they will keep dropping until he picks 1 up. I think he might be confusing them with long bones that you trade in for cons xp I think that my IQ is dropping... I'm not confusing them with the long bone drops... When I was doing the wishlist of the rag and bone man quest sequel, I didn't get those bones that easily, so I was just saying it was nice that he got back to back, I had to kill over 50 Aquanites to get one they must have changed something, i was getting them constantly - like as soon as the ones currently on the ground disappeared. same at a fire giant task i just had.
