obfuscator Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 eh the policies and procedures were designed for a forum with thousands of active users - and it made sense. I doubt they were ever adapted for a progressively smaller user base "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Observer Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Yeah, I can see how it would apply in that way. I guess I was spoiled with a simpler "rating system" elsewhere which simplified everything greatly (e.g. when to suspend for 21 days as opposed to 7 days, or when to give a final warning, etc) so got to see both worlds.

Estonian dude Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Did TIF ever have thousands of active users at the same time? So I've noticed this thread's regulars all follow similar trends.

Bonez899 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Kinda feel like they added ports instead of the skill. Much easier to make a minigame/activity with boats than an actual skill that would require it. http://forum.tip.it/topic/325514-bonez899s-journey-to-an-eventual-max/ My blog of progress on Runescape.

obfuscator Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Did TIF ever have thousands of active users at the same time? k so you can see the max users at the bottom of the main boards, I was going to check when I saw your post, it was like 4k something maybe 5 years ago (and it might have been more before we switched to IPB). But then I looked, and it's now 12k from like a week ago when the boards were down.

Ginger_Warrior Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 The Sailing joke is still a running gag in-game on OSRS whenever a new reboot starts timing down. I joined the Reddit cc (HYT chat doesn't exist any more); if you speak to them about the last five years and look at RS3 player numbers, it's little wonder why numbers here have drifted down. While OSRS has been a huge success for Jagex (around 100k a few weeks ago following mobile OSRS release), RS3 only has 20k active weekly players now. The EoC update in late 2012 set RS3 on course for an ultimately terminal decline. Wikia has also replaced Tip.It and Zybez as the reference for game information. From an ex-staff viewpoint, that's hardly surprising. We would receive literally hundreds of reports every week, and there's only so fast we can process that information (working out what was wrong, deciding between false reports, editing the HTML etc). Wikis are simply a better medium for community-based collaboration. | Favourite Game Music | Last.fm | HYT Friend Chat Rules | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wikis are simply a better medium for community-based collaboration. Yeah, the decline hit forums quite hard as people could just use wiki or clan chats for answers to questions. Or, hell, even video guides. All much easier than posting on a forum. By the time I was an admin on Zybez, we had lost quite a lot of ground and tried to revitalize the boards using competitions, etc. Our main site was desperately out of date because we had no more content team members who were willing to update the site. There was just far too much to update with too few people. I'd assume it was similar here. We were successful briefly with the OSRS Exchange but it didn't last long when Jagex introduced the G.E. Pretty soon our main bread and butter came in from the clan section. Then when that started to decline, the boards became a ghost town and sure enough Curse (our parent company) closed it down because it became too expensive to maintain.
