You see? That's where the problem stands! IT IS DANGEROUS!! the lack of awareness not only caused human beings to murder others for being different, but it had caused many to become depressed and eventualy suicidal (sp?). Yes, men and women, especialy teenagers, took their on lives solely for being gay. Not because they're poor, not because they're handicapped, not because of an abusive family and not even because of love fallen apart, solely for being gay. Hmm? I think you misunderstood me a bit. I have no doubt that being gay is a huge mental stress. But when I talk about people who use the word gay in an offensive matter are generally immature people who wish to insult others, same as calling other people an ahole and such. You on the other hand are talking about people who specifically call out on gay people and make fun of them, that I believe is a problem. Or were you thinking that gay people hearing people using the "gay" word as an insult will be mentally stressed? Okay, lets take a step backwards to see the bigger picture. As of today, gay is used as a swear word more than anything else (it's a proven fact). How do you think that makes gay people, and especialy teenaged gay people feel? They think they have a problem, they think they don't belong in this world. Heck, many homophobes ARE gay, their homophobia is a product of their surrondings' thoughts- They're just so afraid to admit to themselves that they're gay, they simply bash it on others (this mostly happens with males, they usualy can't even stand the bare touch of another male.) In other words, our world turns gay sexual orientation to a secret to be kept away from the surroundings, from friends, and many times even from families.

That's their own effing fault. Let me rephrase what you just said. Thus, they wouldn't, had they been normal. The point is, Male + Female = Baby, M + M or F + F don't. Is it natural? No, it's a feeling brought on by society, not because it makes them feel good. It may be about "sticking it to the man", or whatever. People aren't just "gay", that's my opinion. And many others', too. On it being censored in RS, I couldn't care less. They are words that really shouldn't exist. Why? Have one guess. They did not suicide for being gay, they did it because they feel they cannot live with that fact in our world. You're saying it's their own fault? I can't distress how dumb that sounds. It's their own fault that they feel they have no room in our world? Frankly, even though I disagree with them, I don't blame them. The world is a very hostile place to them, people think their sexual orientaion is a problem, and that it's unnatural. For the millionth time on this thread, gay people are born that way. It's not their choice, it's not their way of "Sticking it to the man", it's one of their born characteristics.

Maybe, but mankind was not created with the knowledge of flight, and not only is being gay not in any way knwoledge, it also exists since the dawn of humanity. I can't see how that's unnatural, if people are born that way.

I, personaly, am not gay. If it matters to you, I started out with it during a school project. I am not promoting discussion about sexual orientaion here, only what problems had occured in our world, and how we could atleast begin doing something in the matter, even if only on a Java based multi player game.

Well, people are using words that are censored on Tip.It (if you know what words these are you'd also know they're replaced by- Wagon, Cabbage, Developmently delayed and so on) on RuneScape, and if these words, which actualy are swear words, aren't censored, then shouldn't gay be either, espcialy since it isn't a swear word. As for children- That was not my point. You said being gay is a matter of choice, as in, anyone can decide whether or not they want to be gay. Well, if so, no one would ever choose to be gay. There simply is not one reason to 'choose' it.

You see? That's where the problem stands! IT IS DANGEROUS!! the lack of awareness not only caused human beings to murder others for being different, but it had caused many to become depressed and eventualy suicidal (sp?). Yes, men and women, especialy teenagers, took their on lives solely for being gay. Not because they're poor, not because they're handicapped, not because of an abusive family and not even because of love fallen apart, solely for being gay.

It is not a fact, and neither is it a lifestyle. If there was such a thing, no one would ever choose to be gay. Why would anyone want to if it was their choice? You can't have your own kid without the use of science/ adoption, and, frankly, the world is more of a hostile place to you. Oh, and "look it up"? Have you lost your mind? Even if such a thing was true (which it clearly ISN'T!!!), how would anyone ever be able to prove it? As of today, most psycologists that deal with the subject, believe gay people are born that way.

I don't thinks it's for that reason either, and neither did I claim to. All I'm saying is that the fact that these words are censored, is wrong in the sense that these words are not swear words, and that the fact that people use them as such, is sickening and dangerous.

They are not born that way. That is utter BS. I have talked to a number of people who were formerly gay, and they all state that it was unnatural. Hate and death? People get made fun of for being fat, or skinny, or dumb, or smart. It may not be good, but it is a part of life. I'm sorry, but what you said makes no sense. You can't point out something is bad by saying other things are bad aswell. In addition, there is no such thing as 'formerly gay'. And the last bit, even if you were right, then either 'fat', 'skinny', 'dumb' and 'smart' should be censored aswell, or 'gay', 'homo' and 'lesbian' shouldn't.

I'm sad to hear this. And yet, it is almost guranteed that gay people are born that way, does that mean they were born unnatural? And moreover, even if you do not see it as something natural, don't you think it's absurd that it creates hate and death, for no actual reason?

Warning: If you wish to discuss homosexuality, then please use the appropriate topic! Posts made here will be removed and the poster shall be warned. ~ Rainy_Day Jagex as a compay has made a huge mistake. A mistake that currently still stands as is for years, and, surprisingly, is also left untouched. I believe this problem exists everywhere, but as such, it only makes it a lot worse to see it in a game too (I'm aware that that's not the only game, or actualy, that that game like many others has this problem, but we must begin somewhere.) The problem I'm talking about, is the censorship of words like 'gay', 'lesbian', 'homo', 'homosexual' etc (as of now, I do not know if Tip.It censors these words aswell. Hopefuly, once I click the 'Post New Topic' button, I'll feel relieved.) Edit- I'm very pleased to know that these words are not censored in the Tip.It forums :D. Why is this a problem? Because these words are not, in any way, swear words- even though I'm sad to stat that many use them as such. If to take one step further, I can also add that BECAUSE these words are used as swear words, many (especialy young) men and women are afraid to come out of the closet, up to the point where the younger ones take their own lives, every day. Sure, you read this and you think it has nothing to do with you, or that it's so far away. Well, people are phisically DYING because of that! They're taking their own lives because they think their faith is atleast as terrible as death, instead of seeing it something natural and NOT unique. This is something not to be taken lightly at all, especialy since (even though not 100% proven), sexual preferances are believed to appear on birth (but only discovered later). And so, I call your voices to be heard, and demand awareness. Because awareness promotes subjects like this one, up to the point where it can become a natural thing everywhere in the world. I might be a bit too ambitious, but I firmly believe that if we all speak up, gay people will live their lives like any other, and will be nothing special or unique. I want to promote this and eventualy call Jagex to remove censorship of these words. I also want to beg those of you who use those words to make fun of others to stop, and to thank those of you who don't. Edit:

The second one seemed to be leading to a final point, some sort of closing sentence that concludes everything. At the end I felt as if I only read a half of something...

^ :o!!! > Temporarily hates Lasangra (I have no idea what that is though...). \/ Will probably flame and then explain :D!

The chair might get mad! It's not smart to tell your most hated teacher what you really think of her because...

First off, I must say that not all are as creative as you'd expect, but simply have a nicer appearance (in my opinion). Feel free to suggest any emotes you might find more fitting. Yes- Item: A white shirt with a big green V mark on the front (used in chest slot). Enhanced version: The player points to his/her chest and blows it, whilst standing on his/her toes, emphasizing the V symbol. No- Item: A black shirt with a big red X mark on the front (used in chest slot). Enhanced version: The player points to his/her chest and blows it, whilst standing on his/her toes, emphasizing the X symbol. Bow (and Curtsy)- Item: A toxido for males, a red dress for females (a set used both in legs and chest slots). Enhanced version (male): The player leans forward whilst performing two circles in the air with his right hand, ending them with the fingers pointed forward. Enhanced version (female) (Curtsy): The player grabs her hips (just like the normal Curtsy) and performs a full lean forward. Bow (and Curtsy)2- Item: Brimmed hat (used in head slot). Enhanced version- The player bows and takes off his/her hat whilst doing so. Angry- Item: Red face (used in the head slot, simply coloring your face red-pink-ish, like an angry person). Enhanced version: The player has grey smoke coming out of his/her ears, and his face turn even redder (is 'redder' correct in English?) than the Red face item. Think- Item: A light bulb (used in the head slot, hovering over your head). Enhanced version: The light bulb turns on and off 2-3 times when the player performs the reguler 'Think' emote, and finaly is on when the player points up, as if he/she came up with an idea. (Possibly with an audio addition when the light turns on each time). I am aware that this emote looks like the 'Idea' emote, but I still see this fitting, feel free to suggest a better idea if you have one. Wave- Item: Enthusiastic gloves (makes your palms appear almost twice as big, used in the gloves slot). Enhanced version: The player raises both his/her hands up moving them left and right (opposite directions from each other) as if he/she was seeking attention. The gloves' size make it look as if the player seeks lots of attention. Shrug- Item: Bigger shoulders (used in the chest slot, name is self explenatory). Enhanced version1: The player performs the reguler 'Shrug' emote, and looks down in shame afterwards. (Possibly with an audio additon of the player saying "Eh..." quietly. Possibly different voices depending on gender). Enhanced version2: Another possiblty for the 'Shrug' emote is to simply first perform the 'Think' emote (automaticly). Cheer- Item: Clown face & head (used in the head slot, colors your face white, your lips and nose extra red and makes your hair appear like a rainbow colored afro). Enhanced version: The player is cheering in a very enthusiastic way, flapping his hands and jumping on the spot. Cheer2- Item: Pompons (used in the weapon slot and is 2 handed, 1 pompon is red while the other is white). Enhanced version: The player performs typical cheerleader moves, possibly with a difference between males and females. Beckon- Item: Plane sticks (not quite sure about the name, used in the weapon slot and is 2 handed, yellow). Enhanced version: The player raises the sticks in the air, waving them on right and left on opposite directions, just like planes on airports. Possibly glowing. Laugh- Item: Smiley lips (used in the head slot, looks like red lips, smiling even outside the frame of your head and without proportion to it). Enhanced version: The lips open wide and reveal a set of big, white teeth, laughing repeatedly. I'm not sure about this, but I think the player should not move at all, as if the lips started laughing on their own. Jump for joy- Item: Bouncy boots (used in boots slot, has springs on the bottom of both boots, possibly light green). Enhanced version: The player jumps using the boots (up to the point where his/her legs reach over the normal height of the player), spreading his/her hands wide open whilst doing so. Yawn- Item: Pillow (used in weapon slot). Enhanced version: The player leans his head right while raising his right hand (holding the pillow) and falls asleep for a few seconds. Dance- Item: Either cowboy hat, or a toy pistol (cowboy hat used in the head slot, while the toy pistol is used on the weapon slot). Enhanced version: The player starts dancing country-style. Jig- Item: Fragrant flowers (used in weapon slot). Enhanced version: The player smells the flowers he/she is holding, and then performs the old 'Jig' emote. Twirl (also known as spin)- Item: Vertigo belt (used in chest slot). Enhanced version: The belt the player is wearing starts spinning about 2 milliseconds before the player, which then spins twice. When he/she is done, he/she holds his/her head with his/her hands, trying to stop his/her dizziness. Headbang- Item: Blockhead (A wooden board, used in the weapon slot). :lol: Enhanced version: The player holds the board in front of his/her face, and then bashes his/her head against it. Cry- Item: Sad face (looks exactly like the mime mask, just with a sad face instead of smiley face, used in the head slot). Enhanced version: The player performs the normal 'Cry' emote. In addition, tears stream out of his/her face. Blow kiss- Item: Cartoon heart (simply a red, heart-shaped item appears on the left of the player's chest, used in the chest slot). Enhanced version: The heart starts moving forward and slightly upward, pulling the player with it slightly in the air (possibly drooling aswell) and then lands back. Panic- Conjoined hands (used in the gloves slot, black-colored. With it, the player always stands and walks with his/her hands close to his/her chest as if it was cold). Enhanced version: The player begins performing the normal 'Panic' emote, and stops to turn around and try to run, but fails and stumbles, and then falls on the ground. Raspberry- Sassy tongue (A big pink tongue is falling out of the player's mouth, used in the head slot). Enhanced version: The player performs the reguler 'Raspberry' emote, but in addition his tongue turns straight, spitting a little. (Possibly with an audio addition of spit coming out of the player's mouth). Clap- Item: Clapper (used in the gloves slot, is white and looks like Mickey-Mouse's gloves). Enhanced version: On the current 'Clap' emote, the player claps his hands, at about chest height. On this enhanced version, the player claps his hands higher (at about face height) with pride. Salute- Item: Army uniform (used in head (hat), chest (jacket), legs (trousers), gloves (well...gloves) and boots (yep...) slots, and looks like a captain's uniform (possibly dark blue colored)). Enhanced version: (For those of you who don't know, the original salute emote looked like the German World War II salute, which is why the current 1 looks as so, and why my idea doesn't look like a 'normal' salute) the player performs the normal 'Salute' emote, but picks his/her head higher in pride and for a longer period of time. That's it :), I hope you liked it. (I am aware that some of the emotes already have item enhancers, I still don't think it means there can't be more). Note that if you say anything positive about the suggestion, you're added to the support list unless you stat you wish not to. You can also be deleted from it on request.

^Is incorrect. >Can't believe she found herself on the Games forum again. \/Is a robot?

Is it only me or is constant special attacks a bit overpowered? Nevertheless, great update :).

I guess it will be affected, but the Tip.It community will still live.

? Reminded me of this [hide=][/hide] :lol: :lol: :lol:

A day like any other day in your life, your browse through the forums, and then decide to play some RuneScape. As usual, you check to see if there are any updates or anouncments. The RuneScape front page: "We got bored." Curious and innocent you left click the title. "We got bored. We want better games, and we want them now! RuneScape just does not have the same taste anymore and we decided to ditch it for good. We are terribly sorry for all the loyal players, some who have gone with us since day one- But it's the end of it. RuneScape will cease to exist in 3 days." You are shocked. First you start thinking it's one of those cruel jokes Jagex sometimes make their players go through. Then you realize it's not April Fools and neither is there a reason for them to lie. What would you do? Would you keep playing for 3 days? Would you instantly quit? Would you have a great drop party dropping every single item you've owned? Would you even care much? Would you even bother logging in for the last time? For the more addicted of you, how bad will it affect your life? (Disclaimer: Please do not discuss whether Jagex should or shouldn't do such a thing, this thread refers to a hypothetical situation in which this DOES happen. Also, refer to it as if you believe Jagex, as I know some of you wouldn't.)

I can't see it :S, could anyone explain what's in it please?
