Oh, my friend is called Lihi Dora Raychlin Berger. :mellow:

Utter nonsense. I'm amazed you would even suggest such a thing -- the counterexamples are too numerous to even list. It must suck for you to go through life with such a defeatist, unempowered attitude. The world would suck just as much if everyone shared it. Not only will such a cooperative not fail, but it *can't* fail. The objective wouldn't be to convince sites to stand up to Jagex -- since it's obvious few have the stones to do so -- but rather to make a more inclusive list that makes a priority out of serving fans and not Jagex. I appreciate your solution, and it might come to that, but before there starts to be some kind of mutual distrust between Jagex and fansites... again, we should try to deal with this particular situation, lest Jagex becomes aware that they've made a mistake. By the way, what do other fansites, especially the platinum ones, think about this? This might require the effort of more than tip.it here. I don't think Tip.It (the staff that is) would put much any effort into that...

Neither souls nor demons are a real thing, so if you do, you live in La-La land, which is not smart. It's not smart to drink 769 energy drinks in a row because...

I completely understand where Qeltar, MHL, and others supporting their opinion, come from. It makes no sense for the company to dictate what fansites can advertise, much less rate the fansites by that measure, which they clearly did. I doubt there was one second in history that Tip.It had lost it's "platinum" status- Jagex demoted Tip.It to silver on no valid basis. They have no right to do it, and shouldn't have done it, especially since that makes their measure extremely subjective and wrongly biased. On the other hand, despite the situation being philosophically wrong, I believe Tip.It's choice is fairly acceptable (if the data supplied by the admins is correct), because: 1) The situation is reverseable. 2) Tip.It had only gained from this "deal", despite it being wrong. 3) Jagex did not dictate actual content. To sum up- It's wrong on Jagex's part, they shouldn't have done it, but not accepting the deal on Tip.It's part would be rather too-ideological for no actual reason, and I bet that if a real reason will be brought up, Tip.It would not even consider staying.

@ mckinzy5- You look so young...!

That's hilarious :D.

I have a feeling that if Jagex thought they could get away with banning fansites from even discussing other games, they'd do that too. I doubt Tip.It would take their deal if they asked for it though.

If there really is no harm done to your truck, that's a brilliant idea!

According to the mass of debates over here, no, these forums are not a problem from Jagex's view point. The reason being (IMO), that limiting what users can discuss is a direct violation of Tip.It's independence, while dictating the ads is not really harmful to our users' freedom of speech, creativity, etc. So it's fine to talk about a game other than Runescape in a positive light, and yet not advertise it? 'Xactly.

You're just going to have to take my word for it. The "friend zone"'s definition is a myth (being something you can't get out of. You can, and it's not even hard).

You don't seriously believe that, right?

I have read in a local newspaper that Iran is building new facilities inside mountains in order to protect them from bombs. I have also heard that Israel plans to launch a pre-emptive campaign against Iran if Iran doesn't stop its program by the end of this year. I seriously hope one of the 2 really happens, preferably the latter.

Seriously? Both statements are extremely ignorant. EDIT: I really wasn't expecting that from you. EDIT2: After you edit... I don't get it? Why would a war destroy the governments? I doubt even riots in Iran would make Ahmadinijad lose his job. As for Israel, I'm not quite sure what would happen, the government could lose it's power and it could also not, depending on the people mostly.

Bleh...you should really bother to read these things. Basically, it's an advert-thingy. Jaggy requested X from Tip.It, at first Tip.It didn't take it, now Jaggy presented these ranks, and Tip.It did it. Soon Tip.It will be "granted" Platinum-status. Jagex are hardly saints some of the advertisements they've had in the past on their websites, I've seen numerous WoW ads on their main page before, I've also seen gold selling websites on there Definitely, that's an issue many Tip.It members found absurd (myself included), but it's already been discussed times and times again by now.

I doubt that'll happen soon, unless Iran does something drastic. BTW, what do you mean by not worthy? Well, considering that we've waged an illegal war for a decade and already have financial problems due to the war, declaring war on Iran in order to help Israel is not worth the heartache. This isn't even to mention the fact that Israel forges fake passports in order to assassinate their enemies overseas. They're a bunch of crooked bastards (at least their government is). I guess I have to agree on the first part. As for the second, I think I know better. These things are not unique to Israel, I assure you USA, England, Germany, France, and frankly, almost any other first world country, doe the same things. Israel just got caught, and sophisticated policiticians can't afford not to frown upon it. The media also had a bit of a celebration over it too... I guess that it's unfair to demonize them over the passport issue, but it is definitely not worth a war due to the already-existing financial problems from Iraq/Afghanistan. Then why "Israel isn't worthy enough for that."? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I read it as "USA can't afford it, and Israel doesn't deserve it anyway". Sorry if I really am wrong... P.S. I also think Iran's nuclear weapons are a global problem, not just an Israeli problem. I can still understand why USA wouldn't want to get involved in a war though.
