Four years of tip.it

[indy500fan]

Hah, I think everyone feels the same about their old self.

 

 

 

I feel that when I see my posts 6 months ago before I decided to start typing correctly :P .

Hah, I remember that. You didn't post nearly as much then as you post now though, so I guess it works out.

With scape boards I kept forgetting my password so I kept making new forum names. Barely posted there, but still read.

 

 

 

I remember the wait for these forums to get up and running. I basically checked every day until I saw it on the tip.it site, but I just gave up, ended up making me join almost a month late (July 2004) when they did come out.

[Uldric]

Dunno when I joined Scapeboards, but I do remember my first post was buying a santa for 120k, so it was around then. #-o

 

 

 

Still not much of a poster, more of a lurker. :P

Hey! I just noticed that I joined Tip.It almost four years ago to the day in April, when I was but 11 years old. Just poking my head in to see if there's anybody from that era still around, or if anybody remembers the way things ran at DK3, and so on and so forth.

 

 

 

Funny to see how I've changed too... I wish we still had the Scapeboard archives, but they're undoubtedly gone from existence, unfortunately...

 

 

 

Haha, haven't you made one of these before? We've been here for about the same time (me for four to five years) Shortly after Scapeboard was turned to TIF I changed my username and I plan on never releasing what my old one was, I'd be so embarrassed if I read what I said back then. But eh, I was only 13 or so. :P

 

 

 

I've changed so much since then, everything about me is completely different. My views, how I act, how I look, how I dress, how I type... everything. It's been cool to see how everyone else has kinda grown up too, in different ways.

You always reminded me of fellupahill

Your name sounds sort of familiar. Did you use to have a FPS themed avvy or sig? Like a Doom guy as your avvy I think it was.

 

 

 

 

 

Anyway, I joined tip.it back when the RS site linked to fansites, and tip.it was at the top of the list. The first thing I looked at was a smithing table that told you when you could make what. That was very useful.

 

 

 

IIRC:

 

 

 

- Early/Mid 2001, we the forums had a light brownish background. It looked integrated with the tip.it site. I believe the URL was just http://www.tip.it/forum

 

 

 

- In October, I believe, they switched to a new forum system that had a white/gray background. This only lasted a few weeks. One thing I remember about these forums: There was a guy named Rock. I think his name ingame might have been "Attila" or something like that. He was Finnish. But his forum name was Rock. His avvy was a cute little animated rock. (a stone). His sig was a big picture of The Rock (the wrestler), with the caption "CAN U SMELLLLL WAT A ROCK IS COOKING". I don't know why, but whole setup was somehow hilarious. The sig picture was also grossly oversized (it was a vertical picture of The Rock, which is a nono since it takes up more vertical space, the reason most sigs are longer horizontally), but nobody ever called him on it. It was great.

 

Come on. Somebody else has to remember that.

 

 

 

- I forget what the next iteration of the tip.it forum was, but I know from January on, it was a dark blue, PhPBB board.

 

 

 

- I think for a period of time in early 2002, tip.it did not have a board, forcing us users to settle down in another de facto primary RS board. Varrock Forums I know were popular for a time. Stompfest, and another guy whos name I can't remember (both from KC) ran a board.

 

 

 

- I'm pretty sure Tip.it came back in a dark blue PhPBB form, because I remember Gugge warning me about sig sizes, arguing with Raenond about PK ethics and MMORPG morality, stirring up riots with Iampenguin about loggers... that was all on tip.it on a forum with a dark blue style.

 

 

 

- There was also a smaller, exclusive "leet players board" that started in early 2002. I think it was GregE6 or Elx who invited me to it, and I forget for the life of me who ran it. Was it xxpr0xx? Bah, I can't remember. Somebody has to remember what I'm talking about, and tell me what those forums were called.

 

 

 

- I quit RS in June 2002. I came back to tip.it in the fall just to mess around. By this time, it had changed to a white background resembling what we have now. I'm not sure if it was Scapeboard/DK3 yet, though.

 

I recall getting warned by Lightning for having a flashing animated sig of kids playing with guns.

 

 

 

- And then the 2003 era, which was definately Scapeboard/DK3.

 

I remember in the fall of 2003 I participated in a big "Religion vs Science" Scapeboard Showdown vs. religion believers. I remember a guy pulling quotes from Dr. Dino, that was especially fun. I kept expecting the mods to warn me to tone it down in PM, but they liked it. Who knew? Eventually they closed down the thread, though, what a shame.

 

 

 

I started playing RS again in fall of 2003, and I didn't have much time screwing around on tip.it, aside from that one evolution/creation debate.

 

I did post some stuff about RS2 (when the RS2 demo was revealed in early December 2003). I don't know what I did, but for some reason my name appears in the credits for RS2 info.

 

We hated RS2, so me and my friends called it quits for good, and went on to other games, and eventually WoW.

[Jaziek]

Haha, I wish it wasn't on a Runescape Board. That would be awesome if OT'ers had a separate website.

 

 

 

TBH i dont think it would.. its good to have OT here.. It just wouldnt be OT if it wasnt bundled with all the other forums here. I like the setup now. But sure, if you want to set up an OT website, go ahead i guess..

[Defender2516]

hahhaha, i love myself from 10 years ago.

 

 

 

"If you are a video game producer and would like to leave your comments on my site, please email me and I will post them!"

 

 

 

Man, was I retarted.. the chances of a actually producer visiting a random site and then emailing me his opinions.. :XD:

 

 

 

But.. I still love creating video game websites :mrgreen:

[How2PK]

The only reason why I was on scapeboard was strictly for RS business. Man, it's funny how I was so much into the game back then :lol: I liked those years though <<

 

OT'ers like you, How2Pk, Bubsa, Merc, and several other people I seriously can't imagine ever playing rs.

 

 

 

Haha, I remember when I first started playing. My friend wanted to get 99 smithing so he could make rune 2-handers, and I loved mining so I said I'd get 99 mining to provide him the ores. Then he said getting rune ore was tricky, because you had to build a boat in wildy, and then go on the boat to an island for mining. But there were other people, and they could range-PK you from the other side of the water. :P We invited another friend, who we only wanted to train combat, so he could protect me in wildy! In the end I never hot higher than 70 mining, and he stuck at 45 smithing or something. :D

[Mercifull]

heheh I was frakking 1337 back in the day. :D

[megakiller32]

I count as retro :o when i joined, i was 10 years old :D

But man I was such an idiot 5 years ago, hell I'm even embarased at my posts at the begining of TIF.

I know exactly what you mean. I cringe every time I read my real early posts.

 

Hah, I think everyone feels the same about their old self.

 

 

 

Abso-smegging-lutely. I still remember my massive fight with Daan :P

[np_tyler]

I joined this forum in September, 2005... About a year after I began playing RuneScape, although this wasn't the first forum I joined. I had a lot of stupid posts on the first board I joined, as well as this one...

[tiffann4k]

Congrats on 4 years \ :thumbsup:

He was saying Robbie Williams was as good as Sinatra in his swing when your winning album, which I took exceptional offence to. Then it really escolated out of control :oops:

[MyPurpleCrayon]

Haha, Insane and I used to not get along, imagine that. It was my fault of course.

 

 

 

And Daan... We didn't like each other too much. Now all I got is <3 for him. :P

haha, I do remember that then. :lol: .

 

 

 

 

 

I think I remember disliking you at one point in time MPC, I don't have any idea why though.

[Antrune]

I was on scapeboard for around a year before it got shut down I think. I remember when it did and I would check like every 2 - 3 days to see if it was back up for what felt like 6 months or so. One day in July I think it came back on and I made my same account name. Remember seeing like two topics on the general section, twas great.

 

 

 

8-)

[How2PK]

Hehe, yea, I have a thing for Robbie Williams, especially back in the day. :P I still think the Swing when you're winning album is cool. And on par with Frankie! haha. Man, that really escalated. :D

Yes, this.

 

 

 

Is it weird that I remember the exact date I registered? 13 September, 2002. I had, however, been lurking the forums 2-3 months prior (granted, I only browsed the market boards). I think I have must have joined right after they had changed to Scapeboard.

 

 

 

The main things I remember from back then was that you could still access the old forums (where everybody had huge signatures), I also remember the posts rsn_Lead made on a regular basis about things that had recently happened to him (like how his girlfriend almost drove them off a cliff). Real-life pictures were allowed to be posted -- I also remember how the Media Board used to be an awesome section of the forums. Oh, and Mercifull's christmas sig.

RunescapeTips Forums

 

Tip.it/Runescape Forums

 

Runescape Tips Forum

 

Forum.Tip.It

 

I think we should bring back the motto: "talk & have FUN !!".

 

 

 

The one thing I remember from my own earlier posts (on an earlier version of the forums) was me using "u" instead of "you". I could barely believe I had written my own posts.

I wish those archives were complete. I still think we should try to buy back the scapeboard database.
