If your gonna post a cowboy picture, at least have some class and post John Wayne. [hide=][/hide] Pfft. Clint Eastwood could outshoot John Wayne anyday. That is blasphemy.

It looks like the snapper case bare bones version. Awesome pic's man. Some killer boxsets and lots of stuff i've never seen before. But I noticed the captain N dvd and the naked gun triology, so have good taste in my book. I dont know if you buy used or not, But i Know lots of euros on dvdtalk use secondspin.com - every so often thier is an unadvertised discount code "heynow" with free shipping and 20% off (its for fans of howard stern), I've ordered from them quite a bit and never had any problem. Sometimes stuff is used, sometime's it's new, but i noticed they have 11 in stock for 11.99 too. You region two fellows are lucky, some of my MOST wanted dvd's are on region two only like the iron man, spiderman, x-men 90s cartoons. At least the x-men one is getting released.

For the 9.99 it was on sale for, it was a terrific deal. I've never seen the one disk hit my normal limit for movies 5.00-7.50 and with super saver shipping, you get to get it shipped free for an order of 25. If you got a big lots nearby, you may still be able to find RKO 281 Which is an hbo original film about the making of citizen kane. I think it won some awards as well. Amazon still has the sale ongoing, 11.99 for Kane now but i would of bought it for that too. - Been thinking of picking up Ben Hur for 7.99 or [bleep] tracey for 6.99. Only problem ALOT of the dvd's in that "Award winner" sale keep showing up at big lots for $3. so argh. Any of you guys use dvdaf or anything to manage your collections? Here is mine http://das.dvdaf.com/owned As I am well aware, I do have some [cabbage]ty movies in there. and my tastes vary quite a bit. But thats my collection. My most wanted DVD'S are Gi Joe Season two Volume 1, and to kill a mockingbird. I also plan to pick up family guy and king of the hill when someone has a superb deal on them. I'm really running out of freaking room though. Argh

I was going to post this thread is everything wrong with off topic, then I saw the dino riders picture and my heart melted.

a 2 hour documentary "The battle over citizen kane". Amazon had it for 9.99 last week so it was a no brainer buy.

How did I just find this thread? :o I freaking love movies My last 5 dvd purchases From Amazon From Wal-mart From Familyvideo.com

Yeah, The sheer amount of people posting they are going to get laid makes me smile. Since it's on a saturday, will probably spend it on RS.

You should have done it. :lol: You pushed me over the edge. bahahahahaha!

I almost changed the topic title to singles awareness day and then I decided not too.

I never got caught doing anything at school that ever got me in trouble, the few times i did - I was related to the principal so I got off of the hook with out even asking generally. It's not like i was a wildass anyways, worst thing I ever did was leave campus for subway in highschool - Daily .

I'm a legal adult, I wonder if I can query the information for myself. I mean, I shouldn't need my mother to do it for me? :oops:

Right now at hardees you can get three mushroom swissburgers for the price of members. So it's alot more than one bigmac ;) But I forgot to mention it was interesting they said free wasn't a demo, I've always considered it one - and I've paid for members since it was released.

I have the upmost respect for this new CEO and look forward to seeing which direction he can take the company in. He seems very energetic about the game and wants to make rs into even more of a winner than it is. It's a ballsy move, he has my support. For people who say this is all talk - while it may be, if you deal with companies on a regular basis you will see that it is promising talk, A company like hasbro is very vague and tends not to promise anything. He on the otherhand promises action which is good and generally is followed up on due to customer backlash. He seems like a winner to me. I also would like to extend an invitation to this new CEO for a tip.it times interview. Would be fun. Good job Jagex. ~Das

Working for an ISP. That article was generous about how simplistic people are with passwords.

Has anyone else noticed that the "Did you know?" bits are always thanks to the Tal Shiar Alliance? Is there some kind of deal between them and the Times to supply these? Nope, Please send us some :-D heck, send me them if you don't want to PM the editor.

For me the word moderation has always meant discrection. Take a look at say the tip.it times article discussions, very few are more than I liked/dislike them, if you want to be super strict, thats nothing more than pages of +1 / -1. Kind of bland. As far as off topic, whats purposeful? It's all perspective. I am not bashing any of these threads, I think they *All* fit into off topic and are quality threads, merely using them to illustrate a point. " NFL Super Bowl-Post who you think will make it and or win.. " It's just sports, It doesn't impact our lives and is nothing more than entertainment - Yet it is something people like to discuss. This thread provides entertainment as well "Funniest teachers and subs " I don't see groundbreaking discussion and see lots of humor - Isnt it sort of meaningless? "Do you sit strangely? " Who cares -- really? "What's your boss like? " - My boss is awesome, but why do I need to tell you, what purpose does that serve? "The Offical TIF American Elections thread " Who cares - Because both candidates suck. And i'm sure some people honestly feel "Breastfeeding" - It doesnt have any pictures what good is that? However those topics are popular and do serve a purpose (And NO, no pictures in the breastfeeding thread :P ) Some other things I wanted to say but alas have problems multi-quoting on my cell. I named no names, I never said you did, not too sure why you felt the urge to rectify yourself. Let it be known I seldom speak to mcneilp, I do what I do because I feel it's right. I go by the adage of "What is right is not always popular, what is popular is not always right". I don't feel it's right to remove his post. Mainly because that rule wasn't enforced nor did anyone bother to report other replies in this thread. As for sucking up? I mean how anal are we going to get about the pointless reply thread - Pretty sure I could delete half of the posts in this forum - or at least a big chunk of blogscape ;) ~Das

I didnt even know this thread existed until it was locked. as i've said before, I dont really venture to off topic much but the thread was brought to my attention. So i gave it a look and generally spent a few hours looking over the forum and was pleased with the level of discussion i saw. myself I like humor, granted this may not be funny to all, but off topic humor works for some as much as breastfeeding does for some. it a careful balance. Right now off the top of my head, I cant even name the topic starter, i assume it a mod since people say thats why the thread is around, but i can say, i dont *care* who locked a thread. personally I may going into my personal agenda but i always thought locking duplicating topics was overly harsh and albiet stupid, who cares if we have two topics on favorite kind of dogs, one will die, one will rise, naturual selection is my favorite method of moderation/adminstration. if anyone feels a legitimate funny/serious thread was locked because of a person not being known, pm me the title and i will review it and either unlock it or tell you why it not unlocked. as for pulling rank - I dont really tend to flaunt mine and i consider myself a user first, moderator second, admin third. as a user, i was annoyed this thread was locked and felt it was un-needed, as a moderator, I understood it could go both ways, as an admin after serious discusion and forethought - i chose to unlock it. Lion did nothing wrong in locking the thread and my unlocking was not meant or designed to make people see or feel otherwise, he does a fine job and this thread displays that to me. I would like to see off topic achieve a natural state of enjoyment at all, i've seen it on other messageboards that are not related to runescape and think off topic has room for humor,serious buisness and anything under the sun that doesnt apply to the game of runescape. Dont get me wrong I dont want to see this degrade into a /b/, which I felt it was heading down that path long before this thread was made, and I dont want to see this evolve into a serious debate club either. I am looking for an unquantifable balance of humor and serious buisness, and I think we all will know when we hit it. ~Das Edit: Forgive the spelling, Posting via a cell phone kind of sucks because my fingers are bigger than the keys.

I've put heavy thought and consideration into this following post. As for as this threads content it is silly yes, but people had fun, I looked at the first page and saw TONS of serious topics vs fun, we never locked the drawball topic , Aspies on Tip.it, prank calls and other harmful and humorous threads. Overall I see lots of good mature threads and some for fun, so I dont see the need and have never *understood* the need to spam "spam omgz" on a topic. As far as elitism or cliques, Tip.it has had cliques since 01, I should know I was a part of them way back then for those who were around, not so much now, it's ironic some who mentioned cliques at one point as a user I felt were in one themselves. Off topic has never been perfect, I remember vaguely it was bashed in 01-03 for being too "Fun" and later on for being strict, finding the perfect groove is without a doubt challenging. Although I wont admit I read off topic, I was always more of a general man myself, I think the current topics have improved from what they were in recent memory. 144 pages on is god real, 10+ on breastfeeding, sex and the gaza strip, homosexuality and thats just on the first page. There was a time I remember when most of those topics were disallowed - why being irrelevant as depending on the era the blame either lies within the staff or the users maturity, But i'm not so sure how topics can be more mature or serious or even discussion worthy. I'll admit, I'm suprised the breastfeeding thread has went on as long as it has. Next up on my mind is favoritism. It doesnt happen. I'll tell you now this thread did not stay open because of the author - but because the staff who saw it felt it was lighthearted and fun and people were having fun with it. if a mod actually broke a rule, I myself can speak on behalf of the adminstration and say they would be reprimanded and not allowed to do what they please. As a clan guy my entire platform is unbiased moderation with a section for the users - by the users. Lastly, I'm leaving the replies that got this thread locked, if I remove them, they look horribly out of context and this reply will make less sense than it does now with them. Rab - A former Adminstrator here said to me in 2001 - Tip.it is what you make it, as a user you define what the forum is - Think a thread sucks, don't post and it will plummet - One mans favorite thread annoys the other. every topic will never please everyone, So I ask you to be tolerant - Think a thread breaks the rules - Report it. Think it sucks? Go on to the next topic and let it die, Like it or wanna debate? Post away? Think they all suck, start your own topic and lets see how well yours does ;)

What exactly does 99 smithing do? Let you make a small profit off of a plate that can be bought after completing an easy quest? :P Newsflash - you dont have to be 99 to do that - I had a combat ring first day it was released - infact I hit 50 the first day, not exactly hard if you got cash to blow And yes i'm serious Jagex has made us make X macros for quite some time

I still wear mine with pride, as I got 90 in classic. :P *grumbleplundergrumble* Wonder what the original 99 cook's and fletchers think now, no way in hell do half of the people who have 99 cook now would do the certing/recerting cooking in draynor routine. The majority of RS2 players are spoiled to a point it's downright sickening, Although, I got to admit, I love the make - x stuff, so much I want it for Firemaking ;)

The reason you don't want crediting is because you just want more copy+pasteable code for your website. :wall: :lol: If only I had signature room left. :oops:

Updated.

Personally it is beyond easy to obtain the materials, I have 20+ Million xp in maples that I *could* use in a flash. I did not purchase them, but got them through the kingdom - did I want them - not really - I wanted bird nests/seeds and they were a byproduct. I know many many people who are in the same boat as me. Do I have 99 Firemaking? No, Do I have other 99's that are more difficult - sure. If I can get 99 smithing, pretty sure it's feasible I have displayed the drive to get a 99 with 7 total 99 skills. Infact I was thinking I would like to get an 8th 99 and have been eyeing firemaking - not because of anything other than I consider it easy. Personally Firemaking and Hunting are much more harder than cooking, you cant really read forums or chat because you require constant clicks to burn logs and burn box traps. The day Jagex releases a burn x - It will become the easiest and saddest cape in the game. - and my wrists will rejoice as I burn X my way to 99 if I dont already have it. Do I think it's a nice cape - Sure - But it's quick to train if you dont mind the wrist abuse and it's alot cheaper than most other buyable 99's are and have been for quite some time, so even though prayer, crafting and smithing can be powertrained with speed, it takes a LOT more cash to do so. Maybe it's because firemaking is largely lackluster, always has been and may always be. In classic people got hell for training it too. "Oh wow you can make fires" Lol.

I look forward to working with you guys, and I was talking to peter about that tracker last night *Gives Micksam a fish*

Back to nothing...All that was added was brand new content replacing nothing. What about it do you not like? I liked going straight to the clan forums using the link on the left side of the page. \ I can see about getting that added back, I believe it was supposed to stay. Sorry about that, that was my mistake, fixing it now. It's quite possible the banner link was invalid or the homepage/runehead was dead or mislinked. Take a look at this topic, viewtopic.php?f=39&t=746456
