How did you come about finding tip.it?

[Azvareth]

I was trying to complete a quest when I overheard someone say to go look up tip.it for help. I found my way to forum soon after. 8 years later I'm still here :shock:

 

 

 

My nick back then was Golden_Sword and I was a noob....

I find it oddly hilarious that BlueTear used to have a leet-speak signature. Probably one of the most sensible posters this place has ever had.

I enjoyed the p2p forum mostly, I honestly enjoyed the quest guides on runehq much more :o ! Off-topic forum just somewhat came as I slowly quit runescape.

 

 

 

EDIT: 2000th post on a nicely fitted topic : .

Friend told me about it once and I thought eh... ill search one up myself. I went on Yahoooooooooooooooooo and searched up runescape tips and got this so I stuck with it :)

Heh,I remembered.Push factor to join the forum was actually TET.Mainly before that I would lurk on RSOF until some idiot rant showed up then I'd systematically point out all his mistakes.Wasn't difficult either.

Umm friend told me about it back when playing runescape was cool. Then I sucked at Ernest the chicken, so I actually used it.

 

Well, I found it from google. But otherwise the same story.

 

I used the main site for years, then I even made an account way back, like in 2005 or 2006, but then I quit and forgot about it. It was also before the time I moved to a place where I had no internet connection. When I got internet again last year, I immediately started playing RS again and finally joined the forum, too.

I remember when RSOF was fairly new. I used to troll Frizzoid and Viper in the OT forums there.

friend told me about it (philip_kolar)

 

he became a mod on here then quit a while ago, and hes now an rs mod (well in a few days)

[spyderownzyou]

i used tip.it for it's good quest/boss guides when I played runescape, and got fed up of gamefaqs forums :wall:

 

then made an account on here, and made some good rs friends through my blogs/various posts

 

and will probably stay here even after quitting runescape

 

(plus it gives me something to do while fishing) :lol:

[xown4g3s]

i dont remember how i made it to here. i used to go to runehq, then somehow made it here. probably searching on google for a quest or something.

I totally remember the old boards. What happened to them?

 

 

 

DK3 (the host) went bankrupt and eventually all related domains went inactive, that was after the old boards changed to "scapeboard.com". They also had the nerve to exploit any remaining traffic visiting that address, & sold it to servage.net for a few thousand dollars (Silverion, boss of tip.it didn't get a cent of that amount)

 

 

 

They also "lost" all the forum databases that contained countless topics full of information and posts from old famous players (they likely cleaned all server hard-drives so they would be sellable for what scraps they could gather from their business operation), so we had to start over in summer 2004, when the forum was again hosted on tip.it and still remains as such.

I found it by asking how someone was so good at doing a quest (when i was like a level 10 nonmember) and they said they used a website, I asked, and they told me..... Ive used it ever since. I like it because its updated and loads fast and and only thought of joining the fourms late 08 (when I was bored in my computer class because I had a teacher who couldn't teach and I knew all the stuff anyway)

[3rkid]

Amazing how many people joined because of quest guides, I honestly think Tip's quest guides are inferior to RuneHQ's and Runescape.Wikia's, but their forums and databases suck compared to Tip.it.

[mrpadre]

One of my friends told me at school about it, saying that you could pretty much find anything about RS on it. I used it for like 7 months then clicked on the "Forum" button.

 

 

 

 

 

Btw, I thought the levers on Ernest the chicken were a breeze.

I only used runehq for it's items database a looong time ago. RSwiki does have good quest guides, but I don't think it's been around for that long has it?

I don't really think it's that amazing. I'm sure a lot people didn't join Tip.it because they thought it had the BEST quest guides, but simply because they were stuck on a quest, they typed in "RuneScape quest help" or something into Google (or heard about it through a friend), found Tip.it, and their quest guide was satisfactory. Sure there may have been (and still be) better quest guides out there, but as long as Tip.it's WORKED, they probably weren't going to go searching around for another site.
