Hi.  Hi

The following is just going to be a bunch of community and personal memories that stand out most in my time here. I'm on mobile and will probably ramble a lot so I apologize in advance but the more I think about this place and the amount of great times I've had here the more I'd like to share what I can remember. Without getting too sentimental it'd be nice to give thanks to RSC and everyone who taught me something along the way.

From as early as I can remember I was hooked to posting on these forums. It didn't take me long before I was more interested in posting than playing the game, which seemed to be the case with a lot of the big contributors. Back when I first joined the quality of discussion on here was unmatched and I'd visit every day after school and see what cool topics I could contribute to. Questions were answered so fast with crazy detail that it almost felt like some people were robots. I loved it. I remember being a CL in the marketplace back when we'd have competitions on who could get the most mod actions, a tradition kept through every MKP leader we had. I 'competed' with some of the most famous mods when they were just members all in good fun. I was also a SeMe for a relatively short period of time but all I can remember about that was that the SeMe boards were as boring as they said they were.

I remember so many people coming and going from Zybez, so many ideas that grew into a final product that was way ahead of it's time. Even now on the old help website I see quite a few quest guides I wrote and a few other guides credited to me with pictures of my character in the game taken so long ago I cant believe it's still there. In the little look I got behind the scenes at that time I realised the scale and quality of the product Zybez was creating was incredible and I was just happy to be a part of it.

I remember trying so hard to get noticed by posting everywhere I could, I even have a suggestion in the Hall of Fame, Carpentry, that I'll still claim at least one person at jagex definitely read before construction was introduced. Woeh I remember the best thing about awards was the awesome sigs people used to be able to make. Good sig designers were in top demand back then.

I remember when it was all about your rating log, who could give out the best ratings etc. I'd love to see mine just to reminisce. Theres almost too many people I could list who I know had a positive influence in shaping me growing up. Looking back I truly enjoyed my time here and can't believe how many positive memories I still hold about a little internet forum like RSC and how big of an impact it had on me.



Some random memories I have
  • The Serious Discussion subforum in GD. I probably learned how to write better just contributing in there than I did in school. It was a shame when it got removed but I know a few old members would definitely remember it.
  • MDW being the scary mod.
  • The Meet the Staff forum and the spam fest it created when it was first made.
  • The rise of PK Discussion and the dudes with ridiculously high post count coming out of nowhere.
  • The esteemed member rank (or was it called something similar?) coming out and watching a few Senior Members be 'demoted' down to it only to be repromoted within the next few weeks.
  •  Getting better IT help from the Computing subforum than from anyone I know.
  • The very start of Zybez Radio and how such a concept blew my mind at the time.

I havent mentioned many people but those who helped me the most know who you are. I owe this website and its members a lot and its nice to be able to reminisce on the good times I had here.

Good read. The old forum era definitely shaped my writing too. Sad to see it's limited to 140 characters (or more?) on twitter nowadays.
