Reading through the posts on that rsof thread it seems that most people are shocked/disappointed tip.it isn't platinum.

 

 

Riot in world7 everyone!

 

"TELL JAFLEX TO MAKE US PLATINUM."

 

On a serious note;

 

Two of the sites they have in platinum contain ads other than RuneScape and Jagex and one of those sites is rarely updated.

Um excuse me but world 6 is the riot world!

 

Btw almost every time I go on runehq I see an advert to buy rs gold or to a website for rs bots. That was few months ago so I'm not sure if they're still there.

New reply from Mod Hohbein on RSOF

 

 

Hey guys,

 

The level fansites currently sit at will change as time goes on - I can't comment on fansites individually, but I am in touch with everyone listed here and will be working with them to help them progress (if they want to!).

 

Many thanks,

Hohbein

 

 

So basically, if we kiss up enough we can become platinum? Ouch.

PM me in game anytime

 

It's a lot easier then that for an idiot to sound smart on the internet.

 

That's exactly what you're doing right now... just saying.

Apart from the adverts, i don't see us doing any more than what we currently do to get onto the list.

My first reaction was "sweet!".

 

I got to the list and was like "What the f..."

 

At the end, I was like this:

 

Good grief.

 

Its probably because we just went from Silver to Gold a few days/a week ago though.

So, I just spent 15 minutes looking Sal's over, and there is NO reason at all they should be platinum. Their version of the Tipit Times hasn't been updated in over a year, The "Sals Page" where the creator showed their stats and goals was last updated before construstion, and their forums are nothing compared to TIF. I have a feeling ALL Jagex cared about is the adverts thing, and since Sal's has like 1 ad max there is much less chance to get those 'bad ads'.

 

Speaking of ads, how can Jagex expect fansites to block all other games' ads when they can't even do it themselves? I was not that long ago that I was getting at least 1 WoW ad per week over my browser in F2P....

 

As for forums,

Sals has 24k users

Tipit has 180k users

Sal Realm is a really good fansite. I have found my answers there when Tip.it have failed me and other way around. What i like about Sal Realm (NOTE: I barely use it)? It has many illustrations.

I am very disappointed to say the least, I have used this site for many years and I know for a fact that there is no better fan site period. We will get on platinum once they decide to pull their heads out of their...

Jagex is way too strict on this, Tip will go up so I am not worried there, I am more concerned about RSC. So what if they refuse to remove a few ads? RSC is still one of the best fan site if not the best fan site for Runescape(This is a fact, RSC and Tip are pretty head to head on this).

 

PS: Why is my thread not been used :(, I posted it first.

What do you think this is really all about to begin with?

Jagex worrying other gaming ads will take away potential players? It is a horrible reason though. I mean I am pretty sure RSC removed all the gold selling ads to begin with when Jagex asked them to.

I think making a fansite itself shows dedication to this game enough! Jagex are saying that if you allow your website to advertise other games than you aren't loyal to RS. Bunch off [cabbage] tbh.

 

Whoever dreamt up and approved this ranking system needs smacking round the head.

At least we're first on the gold list?

 

 

I'm glad tip.it isn't censored in runescape like all the other .com's...

99 dungeoneering achieved, thanks to everyone that celebrated with me!

Runehq's fansite looks like... well... this

How the heck did it win platinum?

Dude, what about Sal's realm of HTML?

Good god, any 5 year old can make a site like that nowadays... (not to mention that awful german site, how can a local site be platinum anyway?)

 

Although certainly not perfect, nothing beats Tip.it.

Yeah? So where's yours?

 

Site design is not important, as long as the site is usable. Content is important.

Yeah, unless we're platinum I won't be happy ever again. Lists are all there is to my life, I need others to recognise that the community I am a minor part of is the best!

Design is just as important as content, any marketing class would tell you so

content >>>>> design tbh :P

 

I wonder what criteria Jagex is judging this on.

Tip.it's front page content's pretty average, but so are all the other platinums.

But we do have the most active forums.

 

I'm kinda irritated that jagex took off Zybez just because of a little squabble.

Such an immature businessman-like tactic <_<

I'm guessing this is just jagex's way of prodding fansites into becoming the type of fansites they like.
