RE:Trolls that like books
Who knows? It's kind of weird, lol. 03:26, November 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * Don't worry about it, I'll have some free time to do a lot of rewrites over Thanksgiving break. I can clean it up then. 03:48, November 4, 2011 (UTC)

Archive?
Well... if i can't say first, then ill have to settle for... SECOND!!! 04:06, November 4, 2011 (UTC)

Odd
Well, it just worked for me. That's weird. 04:21, November 4, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Changing question in polls
Yeh, I knew it would reset the results, but because it was only 1 vote, it didn't really matter, so I figured a correct question is more important than 1 vote there. 03:46, November 6, 2011 (UTC)

RE:Cleanup tags
Lol, sure. I just figured it would be obvious what the help required was so I just left it as that. I'll avoid it in the future, then. 23:24, November 10, 2011 (UTC)

RE:Unused image
Hi,

I was going to use that image in the RuneTek article to update the HD RuneTek image, but I couldn't figure out how to get the image to show up, nor could I figure out how to crop it. (Sorry, not my area of expertise haha) Sorry for the misunderstanding! Joquanpro 04:49, November 11, 2011 (UTC)

RE: Image size
I don't know, I just realised one day when I was looking through some of the portals and saw the images were blurry. 08:07, November 11, 2011 (UTC)

Bye
Bye Hoffy! Don't take too long of a break  06:54, November 24, 2011 (UTC)

Just thought I'd pop into say hi
HELLO! HOW ARE YOU? 01:28, December 21, 2011 (UTC)

RE: Cleanup
There are quite a bit of spelling mistakes and too many "Dungeoneering jargon" in the article. The formatting is messy, doesn't make sense at places and there is a slight lack of links. However, after having a look at the Cleanup Category, I agree that some articles (like this mess...) are of a higher priority of cleanup. I'll remove the template and tend to Dungeoneering/Keying myself. --Void Knight 07:50, December 27, 2011 (UTC)

Looks like you've fixed it now. Thanks.

I was wondering who added my talk page to the Cleanup Category...--Void Knight 08:21, December 27, 2011 (UTC)

RE:From now on, I'll just pester everyone's talk page until people start leaving descriptive reasons in the cleanup template...
Actually I have nothing to say on the matter, so hi. ^-^ 07:57, December 27, 2011 (UTC)

Re:From now on, I'll just pester everyone's talk page until people start leaving descriptive reasons in the cleanup template...
Agreed, it looks less horrid now, but is still missing a section. Also, hi!!! 09:20, December 27, 2011 (UTC)

RE:Cleanup
Not really, the whole article really just needs to be rewritten or reworded. 16:02, December 27, 2011 (UTC)

RE: Cleanup sweepstakes
I think the page is fine. The length is not much of a problem when it doesn't have too much images and animations to make it lag, and the page is clearly organized.

And I think the beginner's guide should have it's own money making guide, due to newcomer's limited money making options. --Void Knight 06:44, January 7, 2012 (UTC)

I think the paragraphs could be trimmed a bit, updated, and possibly split into "Basics" and "Money Making". You might want to take a look at my "example" edit: http://runescape.wikia.com/index.php?title=Beginner%27s_guide&action=historysubmit&diff=5119943&oldid=5119934 --Void Knight 07:49, January 7, 2012 (UTC)

RE:Portal box
Hey, thanks for offering to help. I kind of neglected implementing the portal boxes because I had a discussion with Cook who believed that they would not be beneficial. However, I think we can use the bottom boxes to help implement additional "advertising" in future, so it would be great if you could start adding the boxes to pages. Who knows, perhaps there are visitors who scroll down to the bottom of pages (that was one of the arguments against bottom boxes). Unfortunately, I'll be away for most of this week without proper access to the internet so I won't be able to do anything until after Thursday. Cheers, 12:52, January 8, 2012 (UTC)

Files
The only things I've been uploading with .PNG are pre-existing files. -- 02:24, January 14, 2012 (UTC)

My computer defaults with .PNG, but I'll remember to manually change it to .png next time. --Void Knight 02:58, January 14, 2012 (UTC)

it was still displaying the christmas logo after cook reverted to the default theme in themedesigner. i decided to put a static link there until the cache updated and forgot to change it back to a link afterwards. -- 19:10, January 14, 2012 (UTC)

re:*hangs head*
yeah it's weird that it gave no sort of editconflict or anything... 19:19, January 14, 2012 (UTC)

No subject
hofmic? from light arcana? O_O?


 * O its poprex911 xD started up playing rs again :P and signed up here and saw your name and yea I heard your in that friends chat now adays

you still talk with siz or el jordo? also do you go in Light arcana anymore? or just rs outreach?

RE: File:Blue orb detail.png
In a program called, RealWorld-Paint, I used a radial gradient tool which creates a circle that gets increasingly opaque as it gets to the center and a tool called shapeshifter it smudges and moves colors around to give it that organic look to it.

Portalbox
Hey, can you be a bit more careful about what pages you put the portalbox on? Things like Bronze bar and Iron brutal are kind of unrelated to armour and weapons (the latter I'd expect to be on Portal:Ranged), so I'm wondering if you're just putting it on every page that has the word "bronze" or "iron" on it. 00:08, January 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * Okay, good luck with that. I'm still suspicious of the effectiveness of the portals because they seem to have about a 15% click-through rate when someone already clicks on them. 22:55, January 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * They're actually quite popular in terms of how many people reach them -- about 120,000 per month. But that's not the problem. The problem is that once people reach them, they don't click on any of the links found on the portal; they either click back or close the tab. That's what my 15% referred to. That's a problem that needs to be solved by rethinking the portals themselves as opposed to linking to them everywhere. 23:06, January 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * If we waste 85-90% of our users' time with a portal, then that's not acceptable to me. Either we should improve them to the point that a majority of people use them, or we should shelve them. The idea was a good one, but it ended up not working. We don't really have a need for this navigational aid on the wiki. I don't think it's a good idea to favorably compare its CTR to advertisements; 15% is too low. 23:15, January 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * I was aware they were giving the same result, although I was trying to get a feel for the portal namespace as a whole instead of the individual ones. It did not really cross my mind to differentiate between the portals, but if you think that's best I'll add a comment in each of them to make them separate. 02:07, January 19, 2012 (UTC)

RC spam
Hey, mind marking your edits as minor? They're spamming up the Recent Changes. There is a way to have your edits minor by default: go to Special:Preferences and under editing, click the "Mark my edits as minor by default" box 01:55, January 16, 2012 (UTC)

RE:What? Nooo! This cannot be! You are...invincible!
Thanks, Hofmic. Likewise, I will miss the wiki and all of its editors. 05:22, January 16, 2012 (UTC)

re:File:Attack-icon.png
I reverted it because it is like a hundred times bigger, and that totally screws up some pages. Also, it is used on very few pages other than Template:Infobox Bonuses. It won't be hard updating all filelinks. 18:02, January 17, 2012 (UTC)

RE:Dismiss
The only way to dismiss the message is by visiting the wiki activity page. I don't really know why it's done like that, but it's just how it was made. 18:54, January 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * Not much really. I don't know why they implemented it like that :P 19:04, January 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't think the X dismisses it? In any case, Wikia made it that way. 20:39, January 19, 2012 (UTC)

RE:Moving files
Yes, I know. I was hoping someone would notice I hadn't fixed the red link. An emergency happened right after I moved the file and I was unable to take the time to fix the red link associated with it. Thanks for noticing. 20:49, January 19, 2012 (UTC)

RE:Impressive
Psh, that's nothing. You should have seen what it was like when we renamed every single treasure trail image. 18:38, January 22, 2012 (UTC)

Dark Cavalier Transparent Image
I'd like to say thanks for you making the image transparent. I've uploaded more images which could use your help too, I am not good at editing AA images so I left it to a pro like you :P.

I think you might have the "anti-aliasing" box unchecked when your transing stuff. 03:44, January 23, 2012 (UTC)

Re:Clan Dragon
It's too long, not too big. I'll revert. 21:35, January 25, 2012 (UTC)

I would split the gif into it taking flight and landing, but I have no idea how to do that. 21:47, January 25, 2012 (UTC)

re:Clan dragon
If you want, you can always start a RfD for the image. I made that change because, even though it may indeed be a huge file, the other file was so incredibly low quality with about 2 frames per second, it's no us putting it on the page. It's better to have something good and big than something small and terrible. 07:19, January 26, 2012 (UTC)
