Hi, I am Bestman4537 and i am wondering how tip.it got to be so big because i am wanting to start my own type of forum and website i am not wanting any competition i just want to become a forum leader and runescape helper please tell me if you can thank you for your time

This doesn't belong here, perhaps try Help and Advice?

ok thank you

Moved to the correct forum. :)

One of the first fan sites around, now there are thousands.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Started by some of the biggest players in runescape at the time. Bluerose, Lighting ect

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fame from players, and it being the first site like this around means that it will get some heavy traffic coming through. It's expanded ever since.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And Laila well done on becoming a mod :)

well how do i make a forum and website?

Instead of learning how to write the code for your own site, and then paying for a domain, you can help out the RS community right here. Between the help and advice forum, and player made guides you have plenty of opportunity to share your knowledge with your fellow players.

When you google runescape, tip.it is the first site other than runescape.com itself.

Ok so how do I help out tip.it ?

If, by that you mean how do you become a member of the staff, I believe your question can be answered here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You cannot apply to join the staff, you must be chosen by the staff itself.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For now, you can just help out Tip.it by reporting any posts that you see breaking the rules and at the same time, keeping a clean record yourself :wink:

Tip.it is pretty big, but I'm pretty sure RSC is bigger :?: I like RSC's PK Forums compared to Tip.it's, because people actually browse them and there are way better PKers there. Can someone answer my question, is RSC bigger than Tip.it. And don't say Tip.it>RSC or something like that :oops: Because it's an opinion...

How do you determine if a forum is bigger than another? Number of posts? threads? Members? Some undetermined factor?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In terms of members, Tip.It is larger. We have 137,347 members, while RSC has 81,622.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For posts, RSC has 1,214,903 total posts. Tip.It has 1,410,722 articles, which I assume are threads, so we would have more posts as well.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But seriously, how do you decide which is larger?

Wow, good ol' Bluerose, im glad people still remember him =D>

 

 

 

As satenza said - It was the thing to do what well known players did, bluerose come, people follow = traffic

I kinda think RSC is better though, but thats my opinion. Their help and advise board isn't common sense questions and don't always ask how to make money. Just about every PKer posts their vids there and you're allowed RL pics :lol:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Feel free to flame me. :wink:

Also helps you used to be able to talk about tip.it in the actual game. For one because it isn't a .com address it avoided the censor for alot longer than some other addresses and they were less strict when it came to talking about websites so it kinda slipped by. I remember seeing tip.it mentioned several times a day while playing rs. Reason I first came to learn about it. You could also refer newbs to tip.it/runescape pretty easily. The / did get censored so you had to type \ and tell them to reverse it or type out the word slash but it wasn't too difficult and you wouldn't have gotten banned or muted for it then. Now it would be considerably harder to advertise a new site especially to new players.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What site I use depends what information I'm interested in getting. Can't say one is truly better than another in all aspects.

True true, Cirtain sites have their own "speciality" if you like,

 

 

 

for instance i cross reference Tip.it,Zybez and Rune HQ to do quests - they all have little things that in the whole make the TOTAL guide GREAT \ :thumbsup: \ :thumbsup:

hmm.... thanks for all the help guys
