Yep, no effort. That Paypal button is just there for looks. Give me a freaking break. It's been there for years, yet the ads are still needed to keep the site running. I see your point. But why do we get so few information about it? If it wouldn't cost too much money to make TIF ad-free it would be a great motivation to actually donate. Also, if you donate money now, what happens? A special rank/picture under your name would make you more respected because you donated to help tip.it running. Any form of appreciation, which is probably already present, but also in a way that all users can see it wouldn't be such a bad idea.

Look: 1) get rid of this new ad system. not only it's pretty annoying (i'm quite nuanced in this one) it also SLOWS DOWN terribly my forum loading speed, selfish? Yeah, I don't like it i have to wait over 10 seconds every page because the stupid ads have to load 2) ads are needed to keep the site running bla bla bla... respect for that but honestly I havn't seen any attempt yet to even try to give users who are over 18 of age to donate money to keep it adfree. Why would it be a problem? The people who complain about it won't be such a big loss for tip it if they leave over that 3) above poster (killerred005) is right. I don't like it when I type a post, and suddenly the world "fashion" (for example) suddenly lights up green like hell. I don't like it, and I don't think anybody does.

No offence, but in the time you waste with mining essences you could runecraft, train or stake and win heaps & heaps of cash. As long you have fun I guess, GL.

Chickens. If you argue 19 pages and 457 posts about this subject, you guys have obviously too much time on your hands. FREE to play. Does that ring a bell? Can you use your cellphone if you got no credit? No. Can you buy food without money? No. Do you get updates if you don't pay? No. So hard? Even if JAGeX makes billions from members, I don't blame them for not updating f2p. It's FREE, they don't make money with it. Yes, new costumers for p2p + ads, but be happy. WoW doesn't got a f2p section. But yeah, with the miniclip generation the kids aren't satisfied anymore. Weird that since the launch of RS2 a lot of whiners have come up crying for updates. Pay then. 5$ a month isn't that much, one happy meal less. :roll:

I am suprised you could have messed up even more with the ads. You ain't gonna tell me there aren't Tip.it members who would want to donate money to help getting decent forums without them. Now, the ads are not only ugly and annoying, but even disturbing AND slowing down every time I load the forums.

Nvm.

LMFAO. I see your american, but still LMFAO.

First you make a big deal about leaving, ok and it only lasts 2 months? Nice. :roll:

Didn't you quit like 3 months ago? I seem to remember it from your sig. Meh, gratz anyway.

You got what you deserved. So what's the problem? It started with an action of you...

I had one or two real life friends who I was constantely comparing my stats with. Another form was my clan, which I used to try to be number 1 on the highscore list on one skill. I'd rather not race people who I don't know well, because I don't know their playing habits and it could end up in long days.

I see you're still going for it. Not that I ever doubted that. Enjoy the 99 farming when you get it, and I'll pop in some time to have a chat. :P

*opens the door that leads to the RS2 boards* *KICKS* Have fun there, but stop posting stupid posts like this here. Enough other people to be competitive there in posting pointless stuff.

[bleep] your an idiot. This statement prooves you never cared about the game, and you never will.

I do not refer to specifically you, but in my eyes clan mods should be a healthy mix of people from small clans, but also people from the top 5/10 clans. If you only have people from small clans, or small in "the ranks", you will get a one side view on the clan world. E.g: If the warlord of DI would be a clan mod here (I have no idea who their warlord is, just giving an example), it would automatically be an upgrade. For example DI members would use TIF, lots of "fans" of DI would come to see how their PK trips are etc. What you, and the staff, seems to forget are the basics for discussion. When officials of big clans post their PK trip results, they will automatically attract people who want to read/comment on the topics. Same for other big clans, if their leaders/pk post the results of their PK trips, PK run ins here regurarely more people will visit here. I understand your anger on the fact I called some staff members stupid, but that was for a matter of speaking. I don't have anything against the staff, I hardly know them. But I hear stories, I hear people from ex-tip it staff who tell things. Not that I believe anything people say, but the most important proof of the fact that not anything is ok is the fact that tip it is lacking with popularity. I don't know what's the exact problem, but it's not my job to search the problem. I am not of the opinion that the staff/moderators don't do anything Bufoman, but I want to underline that not everything is how it should be. For example, if a member starts a discussion and a few words are thrown to eachother, every time I see a moderator post he/she deletes all the arguing and says: no more arguing or I lock this topic. In my eyes, topics should only be locked for spam, illegal content or explicit (and please the f word isn't that explicit) content. If one says JAGeX doesn't do a good job, and the other reacts on that it doesn't mean the topic needs to be locked or moved to the rants section. In the end, I don't understand how tip.it staff works. I know I'm walking off topic now, because I should be giving tips on how to improve, but how do moderators get chosen? Is it a poll within the staff, can other mods bring up names, do you look who's the most active in help & advice? Because I don't know it. What happened to the poll system? When the community could choose for a person to be a moderator, and to keep the popularity game limited, the tip it staff would choose 5 names and the people will have to vote + post for like 2 weeks and people would choose the most suited person. In general I would change some small thing about TIF which would could do wonders. For example, make a board with a post limit, for example in the rants board you have to have atleast 100 posts to start one. Or a time limit, tip it members who joined over a year ago would have the chance to evaluate tip it on a special board. All those small things could improve these boards a lot, why not a brush up?

For me it's simple. Tip it is trying to boost their clan section up, but fails miserably. Don't believe me? Check the active topics, and I think words aren't needed anymore. I'll try to vent my frustrations, because as tip it member I've known better times, and I (passively) experienced Scapeboard and it's greatness. Problems. I'll explain the reason for the downgrade of the clansection with a compaharision with a football team. It's not because you got good players, you got a good team. It's not because you got a good team, the management is good. Tip.it, or should I say Scapeboard?, was good, great, in one word AWESOME. Smooth moderation, moderators didn't feel themself better and didn't lock every small discussion point. Some staff members/admins are a joke. In my opinion the rank of moderator is something you have to earn. I see very weird people getting that job, and I fail to understand the reason behind it. I'll give an example: What about the classic boards? We had a great moderator there, named Vmser, and he suddenly gets demodded for something happened in IRC. Okay, people make mistakes but instead of give him another chance or put somebody in charge who actually PLAYS RSC, you put people in charge who come to the classic boards now and then and lock some topics because there's too much discussion. What has this all to do with the clan section? In the clan section we have no good mods. Don't understand me wrong, the people who are in charge are doing their best, but it's like putting people in charge who don't have any influence. What do I mean? Simple, put people in charge who are important in the clan world. Look to RSCommunity, all high mods are people who are/were important in the clan section. So search as mods high councils of the big clans, warlords or very loyal clan members who browse forums regularly. And finally, it's said before and I'll say it again. Don't ever THINK the clan section and tip it will improve if the staff and admins are so stupid. 1) In the classic section its forbidden to admit your autoing, but people who post "zoomed" kills are getting banned for autoing. And others, who we all know that auto are not getting banned because they don't admit it. OH PLEASE. Or ban everybody then, but then it's empty, or keep it within lines. As long the PICTURES are "looking okay" you can post what you want. You really think there are people who train weeks on classic legit? Don't think so, or atleast they don't browse forums. 2) IRC. I LAUGH with tip it chat. If you say "[bleep]" you get banned, if you ask for a voice you get banned etc. Meh, no reason you don't get many ppl on IRC. The people in charge are picking on every f word or on every question about something that could be illegal. I'm not in favour of shouting, but when something happens you can type [bleep] in a sudden rage. To get banned for that is complete nonsense. 3) Want a better clan section? Not without a better staff. I see only a few people in the current staff who would survive in for example RSCommunity. The newcomers, no offence, are typical RS2-ers. Lock-hungry is what I call that. Put people in charge who are worth it. 4) Ever wonder why tip it is so empty? Because of the staff. And please, I'm not talking about most admins, but some mods meh it's something that I, as a member of TIF shouldn't even have to say. What I mean? I often wonder, how on earth do mods get chosen? I may say that I browse the forums quite often, and I HARDLY see people getting mod who post guides, constructive comments and stuff like that. Everybody can hang around on the rants or help and advice board 2 hours a day and give some views. But few people have the capacity to make good guides, to feel what's living in the community and stuff like that. First do some changes in the staff, then if you want a better (clan) community put people from clans who have the capacity and are KNOWN in the (big) clan world on top. CTET Ehm, correct me if I'm wrong on this paragraph, because I'm not sure if I'm correct in my revision. So basicly, CTET is here to do events with a lot of clans together with tip it? If it is, this is the funniest idea I have ever heard. Clans are too different, and if they have similarities they are already doin things together (look at THE alliance). Organising events for a lot of clans is pointless and a big waste of time. What do I personally miss? My revision on what I said: To do things for Tip it staff: - take your responsibility - throw the people who only lock and don't mod out - improve clan section by hiring mods who have something to say/had something to say in the actual CLAN world - with clan world I mean DI, TRWF, THE, Gladz, TMRD, VR, EH, Corr, RoT, Supreme skillrs, etc. - post useful things in the clan section, weird how there aren't things like how to make a clan, how to make a clan website, how to recruit, links to the clan forums etc. - and PLEASE, don't put somebody in charge who has created a PK-ing clan a few months ago and now "claims" to have experience ( I don't mean anybody who's in charge atm, just saying who you shouldn't hire)

Most stupid comment of the week lol. Only 4-6 people have got it, and that's even exaggerated.

And still you were the biggest antiauto person at these forums :P It was a well known fact even before your bans that you autoed, but the constant legit cr... something made you look even bigger clown than the legendary [bleep]. rolfcopter

Lol @ u dittos, Orange ownage@@@@ I quitted the in late '06, no orange ownage for me anymore.

Lol.

You two are little crybabies lol.

No wonder nobody comes to tip it when mods delete the discussions. :roll:

No? Although I don't think that was the reason you made this topic. Don't advertise here.

Wise words from the author.

You can't be serious lol...
