Thats a daft thing to do as it does nothing accept annoy ppl who then comes here and flame and so it escalates. Its best not to do things like that in the end.

Trust me, you wont wanting to do that, it just sinks the reputation of us tip.it'ers beeing nices (but have the most flamed graveyard)
May 19, 200620 yr Author Yeah I think it is pretty immature to be running off to flame a forum, I hate it when I hear my members have plugged my forums while flaming other forums, saying how bad one their forum is and how they should join ours. It's pretty silly and bring all the wrong sort of attention. That said of "BIG 3 RS Forums" (Tip it, RSC, Rune HQ) I'd say that tip it is probably the most laid back, which is a good thing in some ways but at the same time isn't always the best thing when your members get a little wild.
May 22, 200620 yr Author OK well it has been 10 days since I started this experiment so I think it's time to show my findings.

May 22, 200620 yr Author runevillage has 67576 members 2820197 articles posted 363843 topics postedI don't understand why you posted this? nice list there, sure saved a lot of looking around.No problem, I really did the study to find out where my own forums (Runescape Boards) stood in relation to everyone else, but I figured if I was going to do it I may as well share the results with everyone so at least there is some factual evidence as to which Runescape Forums is actually the most popular.
May 22, 200620 yr Pretty interesting. :) I prefer the Tip.it forums, but i'm sorry to say I use RuneHQ for guides and RSBandB for calcs. Traitor eh? Did you consider any of the smaller communities like RS Inn and Bloodveld? GJ. -Gid.

May 22, 200620 yr Where exactly did you get the # members from? I know tipit is popular, but 2m population? I have my doubts. Taking a look at the memberslist, 1777 pg x 50 members/pg ~ about 88k is more reasonable. All I learned in life, I learned on Tip.it
May 23, 200620 yr Nice findings indeed... I need to ask you though, when counting the posts and members, did you use the stuff at the bottom of the index on the relative forums, or the id which new posts/topics get? IMO the later would be the more percise, since i believe that the numbers at the bottom of the index is also effected by pruning/deletion of users and posts...

IMO the later would be the more percise, since i believe that the numbers at the bottom of the index is also effected by pruning/deletion of users and posts...I used the figures at the bottom for those forums that I knew weren't being pruned, but for those forums that were being pruned I tracked them with their IDs for 48 hours and then assumed that there would be a similar amount of posting on the ensuing ten days. But you are right the latter would have been a better option, except it would have required that I sign up to all the forums... and well I got lazy... :roll:. Still I'd say whilst those results are probably not perfect they'd be fairly close (within 10%) and they give more of a good overview than anything.
May 23, 200620 yr Runehq is the main forum that I use but since it's down right now being updated I decided to register on these forums and am impressed. However, if you need the best and sometimes only buddy and blobby kits offered runehq is the place to go... they offer extensive gfx support as well

May 24, 200620 yr Author Indeed :D Just making sure... and i mean, even though tip.it isn't pruned ('cept for the market boards that is), we still actually delete some posts, most likely not like 100 a day, but it does happen ;)Yes most forums to a degree do delete posts, but again without all the forum owners giving me admin to all their forums, my ability to see the intricate detail and setup of each different Runescape Forum is always going to be hard, so I'm forced to make some general assumptions, and use the occasional guestimate... :roll:... I generally just figure that most forums will be run and administered much the same as each other. Anyway, this little study seems to have sparked some general interest amongst more than just the Tip It community, but the general Runescape Community (I posted my finding on some of the other forums as well) so I might do a follow up study in a month or twos time, and I'll make it a little more accurate by using post IDs. It will also be interesting to the growth and development over a period of a month.
