JamieMcMe Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Hi everybody! I was wondering how the tip.iters of today actually came to tip.it. Was it through a friend? Random search? etc. Also, what made you stay on tip.it? The community? The TET events? or something else? Are you glad you found it? I actually found the Tip.it website after a random search for "Runescape Fansite". And I fell in love with it. I found the guides really helpful, i would read them over and over again. Then, eventually I joined the forums and I loved those too. The friendly community, helping people in "Help and Advice" reading the guides in the AOW. It was just brilliant! I am really glad that I found and joined tip.it, it helped me make a new really good friend, he knows who he is. So, what is your story? Sig by me :D1337 total as of 3/2/08 at 14 : 52 GMT.

D. V. Devnull Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Why did I come to Tip.It? Quest Guides and stuff to sell... :wink: How did I hear about it? Not sure, but I think it was through friends or family. :-k What caused me to stay? Ain't that obvious? The community! :thumbsup: ~Mr. Devnull and normally with a cool mind.(Warning: This user can be VERY confusing to some people... And talks in 3rd person for the timebeing due to how insane they are... Sometimes even to themself.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Str4lif3 Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Why did I come to Tip.It? For quest guide How did I hear about it? From a friend back in 2005, discovered forum like 1 months ago. What caused me to stay? Community! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atronic92 Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Why did I come to Tip.It? I was looking for a quest guide How did I hear about it? I used google to search for quest guides, and in a short while I saw that the first result was always at runetips, or tip.it. I eventually found the forums. What caused me to stay? In the beginning, the quest guides, even though during Classic they were a bit... wonky. Now, I stay for the best RuneScape forums on the web.

fakeitormakeit Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Why did I come to Tip.It? I hear of a magic site which had WRITTEN DIRECTIONS for help with Runescape OMG!!! (I would have never beat ernest the chicken :P) How did I hear about it? From my school-friend who got me to start playing Runescape, I heard about it and I was like wow. What caused me to stay? I guess a sense of loyalty, I like the setup and the community is nice(although I didn't join the forums until 2yrs after I started using tipit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alg Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Why did I come to Tip.It? i was switching between here and runehq. tip.it won How did I hear about it? looking for guides, and stumbled on the two above mentioned sites. What caused me to stay? i took one look at runehq's forums and decided that tip.it was the better site... mainly because there weren't human moderators at that time and it wasn't organized too well. my runehq account might even still be in existence... i think i might have made an account here back in '05, although missed the email confirmation or something like that I painted some stuff and put it on tumblr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonshadow Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 I found tipit through one of firefox's extensions. It was called runescape toolbar or something. But, it had links to guides, worlds and a whole bunch of other things. I loved it. I would visit the guides occasionally, but when I started to use them, I ended up returning to tipit ones. The site name stuck in my head, and I would read its guides a lot. They were very informative and good to relieve boredom. I probably read every guide about 10 times. I swear to god. I eventually decided to join the forums. I was at first apprehensive about joining them because the looked so alien. I was used to Vbulletin ones. I eventually got over the asthetic look of the forums and started rarely posting. I also at that time got sucked into the tipit chat. I loved that. I said to myself, if I am to get to know everyone better in the forums, why not do it on the chat! I started chatting right away and loved it. I gained a few friends (I think) and I wasn't hated by the community (I think :P). I eventually started to post on the forums too. And, now I am where I am. That was from my blog.

Screechingmu Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 I came because I wanted to see a picture of a player wearing full dragon (d legs had just been released), and you had to be a forum member to see it. I heard from it from google, I had used it for quest guides and other tools for a while. I stayed because it was the only forum I was a member of and I enjoyed posting here.

Cowman_133 Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Hi all, Well, I first came to tip it when I started playing RuneScape in late 2004. I googled "RuneScape 2 Help". I think it was for help on the Prince Ali Quest. (I was F2P and a really low level. I still am a low level considering how long I have been here - 53) I found all the guides, databases and most definitely the atlas very useful. From when I started, I always looked around tip it forums but I never made an account. Finally in May 2007, I thought I may as well have an account and be able to share my opinion so I started cowman_133. [hide=Just a quick off topic item.](Also last night just to fill in the blanks, I created [email protected], [email protected], and I got an ICQ number. Just to fill in the blanks :XD: )[/hide] I stayed on tipit because other fansites had weird guides, advertised gold and yew log buying, and were just obnoxious. And some of the advertisements of other fansites were absurd and inappropriate. Also, tip it community is very welcoming and I hope it stays that way. Also, tip it chat really increased my reservoir of tip it friends. I have many of them and on tip it chat I can ow actually say hyt! Its pretty exciting. I hope that answers your question. :P Signed, Cowman_133 RuneScape player since 2004 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyMcNabb Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Why did I come to Tip.It? For the tips! How did I hear about it? From a friend, AMC 3 16 was his rsname... and I do believe it was about 5 years ago that he told me. What caused me to stay?

Killy_the_Kid Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 They are the best fansite. Period. Some people go to Zybez because of the item prices, but the format hurts my eyes and there's a banner at the top of every page about real world buying. Hyt Chat FOREVERI have quit RuneScape.
