Thanks for all the feedback guys! I will be looking into each of these points as I update the World Map in the next few days. DK

All of you die

Here is an additional teaser to accompany Week 67: [hide] [/hide]

Hey guys, Jagex has shared this video with the fansites and will be releasing it on their website later today. This topic can be used to discuss anything about it. Happy Scaping!

Hey there, I want to first apologize for the inconvenience of having these ads on our site. I can certainly relate and understand how it is to use a site with popups. This is something I have personally discussed with our website owner, but due to both technical and communication difficulties we have yet to see our ad system changed. I continue to push for this change and hopefully in the near future we will see a better ad system. I totally agree with you. Popups are intrusive, annoying and a good reason to take business elsewhere. Kind regards, Cowman_133 Tip.It Administrator

Get the proposal going! :)

Referencing the RSOF as evidence that SwiftKit has been involved with viruses/hackings/damage is rather laughable. We are talking about a community who frequently misuses the term 'hacked' when often no system has actually been compromised to allow said "hacker" access. More often than not, people are simply recovering accounts with weak security. During my time as a forum mod over at the RSOF, I lost count of the number of times I saw topics blaming Jagex or RuneScape for having given them a virus. A lot of RuneScape users like to look for other people to blame when something goes wrong. Bottom line is getting a virus cannot be pinned on anybody but yourself. As Peter said, SwiftKit is safe and if there ARE any problems it is a result of other viruses already on the computer, which again is the responsibility of the user to handle, not us or SwiftKit. Computer security is something each user needs to be able to do for themselves. Some time ago, Jagex began to relent in their notorious babying of users, such as the removal of tons of words and phrases from the censor. We too want to take a similar approach. In our experience, people who are irresponsible with their security will not actually fix their ways regardless of how often we post security bulletins and reminders. We wanted to be able to find a balance between keeping our users safe while also inconveniencing our users the least ie trying to not be overbearing. I think we have achieved this well with a list of approved clients while still not allowing anybody to waltz in and advertise their random-ass client with actual viruses. A good computer user is security conscious, meaning they have an updated operating system, updated browsers, good anti-virus clients and even some extra protection like NoScript for those advanced users. I would consider myself a security conscious user and so would many users of our forums and I again find it laughable that you would suggest that some of our security conscious users will be leaving over this. While you may have an underlying sense of good security, it comes off much more as paranoid. You cannot enjoy anything in life if you are paranoid about it. If you never leave the house because you might get hit by a car or if you never ride a bike because you might fall off, life suddenly becomes a boring place. Similarly, if you don't trust any tools or websites and automatically assume everything is EVIL on the internet, you're not going to enjoy the experience either. Yeah, you might get a virus from time to time, just like you might fall off a bike from time to time, but is that really a reason to lock yourself in the house? tl;dr Nobody is forcing anybody to use SwiftKit, SwiftIRC or otherwise. They are just now our partners, which means benefits for both SwiftKit/IRC and us. DK

It did not.

I am happy with the censor as it is.

You can click on your name at the top and select "My Content". Read this part of the announcement ;) enjin.com shouldn't be blocked. I've unblocked it.

Hey guys, I think our plan at this point is to just take it slow and if we see the need for a new board as it unfolds we will definitely take it in that direction. It is hard to tell what the reactions will be so early in the game and we don't want to divert discussion too much or we may end up stifling creativity and discussions needlessly. Hope that works. :)

Welcome to Tip.It Forums!

There may or may not be a trend in the past in terms of who was hired. Either way, any recurring trend is purely coincidental simply because there is no "system" we operate under. Administrators and staff alike have better things to do with their time than sit around and discriminate against applicants based on variables that have absolutely nothing to do with the hiring process, except, as tripsis mentioned, when a young age is very evident in an application to the point where the applicant is not really suitable for a staff position. Considering our userbase and the userbase of the game we support is made up mostly of people under the age of twenty-five, it is obvious we will often come across potential staff members who fall into that category. This in no way means that we do not hire people who do not fall into that demographic. In addition, we actually have very few applicants who apply and identify themselves as being over the age of twenty-five. I have been directly involved in the Crew hiring process since our very first recruitment drive in 2009 and I can assure you there is absolutely no "system" or "quota" or anything ridiculous that needs to be fulfilled here in terms of staff members. Any trend in who ends up on staff is purely coincidental. Pointing out that Tip.It has had more female staff members than male staff members is as irrelevant as pointing out that Jagex was founded by three males. Not everything is a conspiracy. We don't have time for that kind of nonsense. EDIT: As a bonus tidbit, the position of Crew Leader has actually been held by more males than females, although the numbers are close enough to say it has been fairly equal.

I'm still playing 5.95 CAD for my membership even though I've let it lapse many times before. No idea how the system works either.
