Well I disagree with many things in this thread, actually. First thing's first, I don't think we were created by a god (just throwing that out there, so you know where my opinion is coming from). I agree with pault in what he said (about both intelligence and relationships). As for intelligence, I don't think that we should all be born the same, it just makes life so less.. interesting, I guess. I don't think that school really determines who is the smartest. It really just determines who is the most motivated to do well. As for the other thing you said, that those crazy/immature people you know get the best test scores and the most friends.. Those two aren't linked at all. There are plenty of people who never study, fail their tests, and still have the most friends. And there are also people who study for hours, do okay on their tests and have the most friends. We're all special in our own ways, and for some - it just isn't school and all that stuff. You just have to find what you're good at. I really don't like what you said about relationships - mainly because I'm one of the outlier girls who probably wouldn't go for the macho guy. The ones I have been exposed to have always come off as arrogant and self-centered, so I guess I've stereotyped all macho guys to act that way, but I can't help it since I have yet to be exposed to an exception. The way I see it, just because I'm in high school, doesn't mean I should think, "Okay, it doesn't really matter who I date now, since I probably won't end up marring them anyway. Given that, I won't pick the guy I'd rather spend the rest of my life with, since I probably won't at this point - so I'll just go for the hot one!" For example, I am in a relationship now and I didn't choose him because I looked at him and thought, "Wow, he's hot!" I got to know him and realized that it was exactly the kind of person I'd want to spend the rest of my life with - the "nice guy" if you will. I think a lot of what you said were just stereotypes of people, because not everyone is like that. Sure, a lot of people are, but I think we have the media to thank for that.

Well the actual people themselves are pretty cute, but I'm not a fan of the overall drawing style/technique. All of the shading is very basic (i.e. gradients, burn/dodge tool possibly, not a variety of colours, etc.). I guess that's my main criticism - the shading. Work on that and I think they'll be much better.

Why does everyone keep bumping this very old thread? :-k

I think we're getting a few things mixed up here: Third party clients (i.e. SS and other related programs) are still not allowed on the Tip.it Forums, despite the fact that Jagex is now allowing them (just don't recommend the use of them). But "goal status bars" are not third party clients. Pkmastachaos was kind enough to link you to a few (http://www.rsbandb.com/ and http://www.draynor.net/). The "goal status bars" found on those two sites are not against either Jagex or Tip.it rules.

Since it looks like this is more of a technical problem, I've moved it to Tech and Computers :) Hopefully one of our excellent techies can help you out :)

Until I could make oak larders (lvl 33 I believe), I just made the best thing I could (chairs and tables and such). Then make oak larders from then on out (or until lvl 74, then oak doors :P).

Well I thought mine was original :-k ...Until a year or two after I made it, a group of people named their band "Tripsis" :evil: But anyway, it means the process of shampooing.

My first ever pixel drawing

As infam0us911 said, Jagex is having a problem with their servers. Some people are having trouble logging in and/or accessing their friends list.

Hmm it's working for me :-k Anyway, great idea :) Maybe I'll get started on making one tomorrow!

We actually already have a very similar thread created, you can read a few people's responses: Problems Logging On...

I moved this to General Help & Advice, as I think it's better suited here :)

Locked~double thread :)

Well here's how I trained construction (pokes 99): :-w 33 - 74 Oak Larders 74 - 99 Oak Doors (in the dungeon, use 10 oak planks each) I'm sure there are a few other ways, but this proved to be very productive for me. I averaged 150k - 250k xp per hour, depending upon how good my hand was feeling : The more oak planks you use at a time - the better.

Sometimes I know I'm dreaming, but enjoy my dream so much that I try my best to stay asleep.. But I usually end up waking myself up anyway :shock:

Because I wubbles it I've always used the main Tip.it website, just because it was the first one I was introduced to. I sometimes used the RuneHQ calculators though, but the site loads so slow for me -.- Actually, why I chose Tip.it forums is sort of strange. A few years back I was juggling between Rune Village (I think that's what it's called o.o), Runescape Community and Tip.it. To be honest, I chose Tip.it because I liked the layout most and it loaded the fastest for me :shock:

:shock: Weird... That is weird :P I've had a few sort of like that, I hate them :( Like I dream that I wake up, thinking I have school, but then realize it's Saturday. Then I actually wake up (for real :P), still thinking it's Saturday, but then I find out it's actually Wednesday or something

Lets try to keep the flaming to a minimum :wink: Or preferably none at all :lol:

I took Biology last year and am in my second semester of Chemistry. Personally, I just don't like either one of them. I didn't/don't find either particularly hard, I just don't put any effort in because neither interest me. But I see science as just straight up facts and concepts: either you get it or you don't. But this is probably just because that's sort of how I "work." I'm good at math and sciences in general, because the way I see it, it's just a bunch of memorizing and understanding, which I do very well. I see a fact and I get it. ..Which is probably why I don't particularly excel in subjects like English and religion which require a bit more analyzing and discussing :P But I really think that that science classes are a lot different than actual scientific research and discoveries. I feel like there's a whole other element involved in that. When we learn about science, we just sit in a stuffy room and memorize a bunch of stuff that someone else came up with, whereas actually going out and being the first to discover/prove something is completely different. Not quite sure if that was what you were looking for, in terms of discussing science. But at least it relates to your last question :P

I think every religion is criticized by someone at some point. I don't think Christians are treated any worse than atheists. We both gawk our views at each other and insult one another all the same. By the way, I skimmed through some of the more recent posts and things are getting a little out of hand. At least pretend to respect your personal differences and keep this discussion as civilized as possible.

If you're going for speed: Wildy course until 65-70 (with Super Energy Pots, as toast suggested), then Ape Atoll (assuming you've done the required quests) from then on out.

While it's a fine idea, I have to agree with Satenza. We already have quite a few stickies, and I haven't seen enough of these threads to think that we should create a sticky for them. I just don't think it would get a lot of attention.

If you want to buy items, please use the various Marketplace subforums :) In this case, it looks like you need Armour/Clothing/Weapons.

So what do you suggest we do? We're not "letting TIF get like this," it's the users that make it like this. We can't control what kinds of people register on our forum. You have to cut us moderators/administrators some slack. No, we cannot be on at all hours of the day, but we really do try our best to keep the forum as clean and safe as possible. Right now we have about 3-4 moderators, myself included, deleting every one of that user's posts as soon as we see them, until an administrator can deal with him. The best thing you can do to help us, is report the post and move on. Posting replies will only make matters worse. They encourage the thread creator to insult yet another person. As offensive, wrong or racist a post may be, you just have to ignore it and report it until a moderator can deal with it.
