Gratz on doing MM@@@@ Though, I'll pk my 2h from you sometime. ^^ Oh, I want my cookie.

I'm pretty sure ss wasn't like it is now, and you would have rated it poorly. Give the rating that you will, and compare the rating to the first version of SS. =) ---- I think they need to add a feature where you turn the '/' to either public chat, or clan chat. For instance if you put it to public chat, you have to put / for it to be public, though if you don't it'll appear in the clan chat. ^^ Vise Versa

Before I make a comment back I won't take your comment the wrong way, so could you mind explaining your comment I have bolded. Thanks. By the way, I was only joking about the trying to "not see it introduced thing." :wink: I was only playing along with it. I meant no disrespect, or some kind of insult, I was just taking your 'joke' further along there, and by joke, I mean funny, comical...?

I think this topic should be looked at by some of the people here. This is another attack we can use to harm the profits of the autoers: http://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?t=686582

Yes, I think what he needs to do to make this more blog like, is each day, that he is online, is to make a list of where these autoers drop traded, what time, and what autoers were they. Then make an overall list that includes every area...also daily accounts work too.

1450*5=7250 minutes 120.8 hours of waiting... 120.8+483=603.8 hours total if you win every game. Thus this could potentially be up to 2k hours...

:) This is the best attack we have against autoers. If we find out where they trade, and everything, they will be ruined. Though I honestly didn't know they drop traded to other accounts. Maybe post some pics to prove this... GL

:cry: , I should really pay attention to signatures more.-.- Sorry=/ --- I'd rather fill a topic with what if arguments that concern me, then allowing the thoughts to swell, and torture myself until I finally do type out my concerns in some way. I probably got a little carried away... Though they weren't completely useless, I feel that having these concerns typed out, rather then having an Admin/Mod think about them, and doesn't post because of the positive posts. Or doesn't think much of it. For instance, this feature would either die(as in not used), and be dead bandwidth to the forums. I don't know how many of you thought about all the pretty little concerns I posted, but if I got someone to re-think what their opinion is, it all will work out. I wouldn't call them what if arguments, merely concerns which I probably exploited a little too much. But I don't feel sorry, or bad for posting them. :D

Finally Eel, the wait has been terrible. :( And what a good point you'd make on other topics about introducing new features. Though thats not why I had posted such content, my reasons vary, and the main reasons for posting about it so heavily in a somewhat negative way are outlined below... I'm not trying to see it doesn't come into existence, I've already said I'd like it to be put on. Though it may seem like I'm against it. I'm just really wanting to know more about why we'd need this, and thats what I was pushing for. By all means put this feature on, but before Tip.It does, I think it would be better that Tip.It knew more reasons, and motives for why they are putting this on, not just a few reasons, and all that mentioned in my previous posts. The other features which have been introduced and used however, have had many more good reasons, and are used, to my knowledge, quite enough to keep them on. Though with the reasons you've seen posted here, do you honestly think it would last in popularity, or would it be one of those features that are forgotten, or never heard of over time? Not to say they're forgotten, just at the furthest back of head at most times. This is also why I've been pushing for more reasons, and motives. The main reason why I'm in good support of this is because of what you outlined last, that it could help staff members. Thats the 'one and only good solid reason' I was referring to in my above post. I would still like to see a few more reasons before serious consideration is taken in considering to put it on...

I know it sounds like I'm ignoring the fact that others see the use for this, I'm not, Laikrob's post below confirms that she used an already used situation for using this feature(though he re-directs to his other post). Also directed to Laikrob, the moderator stuff would be good to Staff members, not the average user? There's 4 reasons why you would use their feature, but those four reasons, all lack the motive to use them, or consider them. Laikrob, how would you use it a lot, for non-mod, or non-Tip.It Staff related purposes? I agree it would be very useful only until you have found your friends, or another users topic if you were so interested in dropping in on their topics. But besides randomly picking a user, how would you get a user? Besides the above, how would you know what user to search, for any topic? I know, that since I cannot think of any idea where there is a motive, and a reason, when both of those are present, doesn't mean others can't. But besides searching for friends, and random users, everyone whose gave a reason, has basically(not 100%, but mostly) failed in giving both a motive, and a reason to search that user, besides them being random, and a friend(not to say all TIFers aren't friends, but those closer friends :P ). Since knowing that my own opinions aren't shared by everyone(this is the part about where you've said I'm not thinking of others using this), is why I ask for a list, that has both a motive(a reason behind thinking of the reason, yes curiosity is a good one, yet that is fitted into the category of randomly, to do the actual reason, you wouldn't go looking for a file without a reason, or motive would you?) and a reason(this reason being the reason why you would download the file you just looked for). And I'm eagerly waiting a list, and Eels response. But, another thing, why would Tip.It, or mainly Albosky, consider scripting another search function, when its uses are limited, and probably won't be repeated by the same user more then twice(this is considering above reasons named, and may change if a list is made, or not made pending later posts). It sounds like a waste of bandwidth to put something like that on, which would only be used for 'fun', or for friends. ~The below is an example from a normal user, not a Tip.It Staff Member View Say, I have 4 friends? I look for each of their topics they've made. I would only click on the topics that seemed interesting, or if I was very prudent, I would click and view every single one. After I've searched my four friends, what else does this offer me, besides giving myself the chance to search a random user...? Perhaps giving myself the option to further check ones posting creditability. The motive for this would be them making a very untrue statement. Perhaps saying they made 20mill in an hour not staking, or pking?(I don't know if its possible, hence the 'very untrue' part). I could background check them, and see if their creditable for their opinions, or statements. I'm sorry about hogging the thread on posts, but I'm somewhat disturbed by the lack of motive of which this could be used for..and why the few above are mostly in agreement with this. There has been no solid reason for this to be implemented, only excluding that the Tip.It Staff use it for back checking users, or including the user background check for creditability. Though this is simply done by Post Count sadly, and probably even done further on how the text is presented. Probably(generalization) the majority of users don't want to ,or are just to lazy to go into the search, which already has a very bad rep as it says, and risk their precious time(they may have a lot, or little) on varying results, that may be incorrect. More on the friends thing, after a user is done searching their friends, its over, to use? Its like when a little kid wants something badly, then gets it, then a week later, forgets all about it, and begs for something else.(Though the begging part can be dropped) --- I'd also like to point out, wherever I used 'I' in an example, please excuse that, I'm doing it in first person view, since I do that the best when I write, I can't do second person view(narrating). Also I'd like to go back to something I said earlier in this post, that the search already has a bad rep. And I'll quote Tripsis: And many of you agree, as do I. I don't mean to center Tripsis out, I would have quoted anybody had they said this. You should also include how many users do not know how to work the search properly. That must certainly bring the amount of users who'd use it down quite a ways? If an Admin/Mod would probably say the majority of users do not know how to use the search properly(though this is another generalization, but its one that could be proven with the topics about the search, and commentary given by users in posts all through-out the forum). So while the minority would know how to use the search, how many of that group would suddenly be prompted to search for any reason given above, no matter the lack of motive, or reason behind it, or pushing it forward, or any other reasons that may be posted?

I've only started looking in Off-Topic for the past 6, or 7 months, and I think thats enough to know how much Off-Topic has gone from. I was just wondering when a topic would be made, or bumped about the real life help me topics popping up. I think whats happening is users are going to OT to ask Real Life questions, or get guidance on real life things, because they've been lingering in OT for some weeks now, and feel comfortable posting a topic(I was seriously scared to post in OT, since the IQ level in their is so different from General(would have been General P2P)). I think the users don't realize they can use Help & Advice for Real Life questions, since it does say all questions in the description...? I think at the very least a sticky needs to be made, where Real Life Questions, or Real Life 'I Need Guidance In Real Life ' sticky. I, probably along with others, miss the seriousness, and strong attitudes(this is a good thing, don't flame me) in OT. It was always good to go look at educated posts, that gave in-depth opinions, instead of the same point, or same message being repeated like in 'WTF', almost everyone said to ignore. At the most a sub-forum, though, a sub-forum would need more then just 'I Need Guidance' to keep it alive. Since sooner or later, the number of guidance topics would go down...and I'm presuming, would become deserted once the mature posters leave it.

Well usually 1-6am eastern, though quite a few times it has been at 12pm to 4pm east as well. =/

Eh, I'm not at 56 yet, nor do I plan to get to 56 for some time. I'm more interested in knowing about butler and the cook. =/ From 33 to 47.

I should have re-worded my sentence to avoid that sentence... --- So I see the situations in where this would be needed, or even useful are extremely unlikely. Unless someone, or more people can somehow give a larger list, then I'm pretty sure no one can safely say this is something we'd need, though I'm still waiting for Eel to give a response. Users, wouldn't have to have this feature to find the topics, nor do I think many are wanting, or even thinking of this. though of course that is a generalization, and most generalizations are wrong. The scenario Tripsis described seems so unlikely, how would you know who made the topic, but not know anything else about it? Perhaps yes, someone in-game may have told you that 'example1' has made this awesome/crummy thread. Though, if the thread was crummy, or awesome, I'm sure the topic title would be remembered. Seeing as its a new thread it would be on page one, and easy to find with cntrl+f. If this were an old topic, and it were on page X, how would someone even remember the topic starters name, but not remember the topic? I think, this feature would be used a lot at the beginning, but over time hardly ever be used on a regular basis. I'd rather have Albosky script in a feature that would be used regularly, then one thats not. Though if Albosky got the time to, I'm sure it wouldn't do no harm. -.- After you search through your friends on Tip.It for topics they've made, what would be another useful reason to use it? After you've had your giggles and all, what use would it be? I don't mean to sound mean, but it is the truth, unless someone could post a list of the things it would be useful for, for the normal user? You can't deny that this has a very small limit of uses compared to almost every other feature on the forums. Though I'll take this back if someone can post a list, that does not repeat uses, used in a different situation, and makes valid uses, not very highly unlikely, and very unheard of.

Well atm I have 30construction, and will get 33. At 33 I will go for 47con, with 1020oak planks, which I'll have made. Anyways, Using the general store from 30+ wastes money big time. Seeing as its 317ea per oak plank, thats like 9k every pack of 24 planks. With this I decided to buy a servant, for I know they cost less then using the general store. However I'm stuck between the cook, or the butler. I do not know how many times I can make them go to the sawmill, before I have to pay, example, does the cook take 3 times? or does the butler take 6 times?Before I have to pay them? Is getting X amount of planks before I have to pay cheaper? Then having to pay 2k more, for X amounts of planks back when I have to pay, worth it? Like, if the cook takes three times then I have to pay thats 72 planks for 3k. Which would have cost me 22.824k at general store. If the butler is 6 times before I have to pay, thats 144planks, which would have been 45.748k. 5k paying butler. See, if you can tell me how many times I have to pay before I pay them their salary, it would solve many things. However I'd love it much more if you could tell me the servant which is best, and also explain why... Thanks=)

I'm not confused about what it would do, I'm just confused about why anyone would want to search for someones topic, a specific topic. When they could PM the person to ask what, or where a topic(s) could be? The only reasons I could come up with are in my previous post, though they don't attain very well to the average user, and mostly appeal more to the Forum Staff. How would, and why would a normal user, use this feature? I've never gone looking for one topic someone has made, nor for just their topics. Users mainly want to know about a topic, like say a user wants to know about Nail Biting, and lets say a topic does exist on it. How would they know which user to search for? Why would a normal user search someone for their topic(s)? :-s

I'm addicted to runescape, and I'd say its probably the msot difficult thing I've ever considered. I can't vision the rest of my life without playing runescape at least one or two hours daily. To me quitting runescape is probably trying to get 99slayer in a month(virtually impossible). =/ So yes, it is an Achievement.

If a world is offline, you can't get into it at all. Perhaps the world went back online, yet the offline text hadn't bee changed?

So it works for Tip.It Staff, but I don't see how its going to work for the user in question? How will it help them? Why would they even need this?

I'd probably have 600ish, though I eat them for running. I have I think 8 at the moment. Lets see if anyone has 10k? :o

I ran around the gate from fally to 'the place where I suddenly forget its called, has the druids', I was confused a lot. I Pmed one of my good friends, and they came and showed me cammy, ardougne, and then we set off to duel arena, where he beat me. lol. \

I just love spam in the afternoon. :P I thought it would be out on the weekend, or some kind of mini-update would happen. :uhh: Lets hope we don't have to go through Monday with lag.

So what your suggesting is a search feature that brings back all or just the topic(s) most relative to the specified variables?Or both? :wall: Why you would need to see topics which someone has made confuses me. Couldn't you PM the person, and ask, for a link to that topic? Though, if you wanted to remain anonymous for whatever reason, this sounds like it would work. Even looking to see the topic history for whatever reason too. Though it seems those reasons, aren't enough, perhaps Eel, give a list of reasons why this could good, or used by users? I think its excellent, its just I'm having a hard time seeing true reasons, or a good use that would make it worth implementing?

Well, I might be a little confused, not that you didn't explain it well, you've probably explained it good enough a monkey can read it. Anyways, little walkthrough of how it might work? Looks at the menus for search preferences, I do everything I need to get the correct search, but I put in your search preference, which is I presume 'Search For Topic Created By Author?' ? I get my results, and I'm a happy camper, correct? Though, this could be done in another way, perhaps after selecting 'search for author' option, two radian buttons appear below, and your asked whether or not to search for all the topics, or just the topic's that relate to your text you searched for? Though I agree either way. Also, some of the names of the search options may be incorrect.

[hide=quote from tallest] [/hide] I think its because users like to skip the text, and go straight to the boxes to input whatever they want to put in. I know that I didn't read any of the text that was given to me to read when I first joined, I didn't care about it, I doubt I even read the the larger text in red, or any other colour. Though if a pop-up shows, I'm definitely going to read that. Disabling it, wouldn't take to long to script unless you absolutely have to do it in php, which then I have no idea how you would script it, nor how long. I've changed the data in my profile many times, especially my signature, I'd hate to have to repeatedly click Yes, or No, on a Pop-up, every time I chose to change information.
