Aaaah the good ol' days!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Best thing was when Scapeboard got shut down and all the angry people were sending (see: sending, alot of) e-mails to the hosts of the old forums.

 

 

 

And eventually they gave tip.it a responce along the lines of "OMG STOP THE SPAM E-MAILS WE CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE T_T" - that was brillliant! :D

I only wish I could say I am one of the oldies, sadley I am only a product of 2006.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Odd. I always thought you were around back in scapeboards days. :oops: . Must be thinking of someone else lol.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I just loved the media community back in the day, even on scapeboard =P.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

:( I didn't even know how to use Photoshop before I came here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wow, talk about serious progression in skill. :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I didn't even know what photoshop WAS before I joined these forums back around 2002. LOL.

You can't make sigs for money anymore? I remember a debate about that a few years ago, didn't ever think it would actually be enforced.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Right about the time I quit runescape for good earlier this year there was a big thing and all the media boards were changed around and selling of sigs on TIF wasn't allowed.

Yeah I think some fool sent like multiple thousands of emails and it kind of ruined it for everyone. I was encouraging everyone to send one in the vain hope that dk3 would have a heart and realise how much all those old posts meant to us. I was hoping they'd grant us the old forum database (and possibly url) but it never happened :(

Man, I remember all this.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I've been a reader of the Tip.It forums since the first edition, never posted. I only started being an active poster on Scapeboard.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I quit RuneScape just before Scapeboard went down, that accounts for my late registration to Forum.Tip.It. I couldn't be bothered since Scape seemed to be going to hell anyway.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here I am still, though.

Amazing how much attention people paid to all of this.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I don't think anyone paid that much attention, the things just get noticed when they happen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I remember I joined pretty early on on the first board incarnation, I was buying an adamantite square shield from Fook. And Ezarc (or however it was spalled) had a signature which was the size of the RS screen, yet he was allowed to use it.

Some people are changed by being a moderator. I wouldn't be.

DK3 wasn't very professional anyway, they've been shut down a long time ago. http://www.dk3.com/

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

they were owned by servage.net

 

 

 

Servage isnt very proffesional either I wonder how long till they close down.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Does anyone remember the campaign againsed them?

didn't Silverion get some injury and thats why the site wasn't update often like quest guides? Heard that from my friend when i started using tip.it.
There's plenty of reasons.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Most of which are personal, but the injury, iirc, was a bust wrist / arm.

 

 

 

The same thing happened to Newptor as well, although slightly later on.
