Yeah adulthood sucks, I just wanna go back 3 years and continue doing youtube videos and the like instead of falling off the face of the earth. Or 11 years to where I could've been a soccer prodigy, instead I quit due to my school workload and got fat. I was actually pretty good back in the day. Now that I'm an adult I have so many regrets now that I think about it.

Anyways yeah I probably would strongly consider giving WF #1 eyeballing it but really it's a bit tough because I started RSB in mid 07 so it's a bit hard to rate BD or b0rn or WG or the like. Actually isn't even too easy for me to rate British Crusaders because they were top or near it when I started actually looking at ladders for the first time. TBE too. That and I basically missed a lot of the time I think in 09 where FOF and RDK were big on RSB.

Not that I can't get a decent feel for it after thinking about it, just might be a bit hard for me to explain.

Questions: Will my May 06 badge thing disappear after awhile? And can I still post on forums if I don't pay for membership? I'm considering paying 5 bucks a month over the dumbest reasons lol

Don't think TBE ever got rank 1 so I didn't include them

I was only considering the clan wars era - now tbh. Or else I probably would've put TBC #1 or #2. Also in that case have to consider B0rn, Black Dragons, WDW, TWL WIW, etc.

I remember that era with FOF, RDK, New Bloods, TBC, Godz very well.

I don't think that the date goes away (although it might).

However, I do know that you can post on the boards as a nonmember (I haven't been a member since like 2012)

The thing I never got with most the ratings that were ever put up anywhere on the RSB was that they were entirely based on opinions. Ladders, sure, those I get, but all the top 10 lists and the like I never understood. To me they were always just like the prom crap, whoever gets the most votes wins. I wish someone could explain to me the reasoning behind the votes though. Maybe I just didn't get involved enough (or didn't care enough) to really understand either of those things.

I have to say though, I was in b0rn, and that era for me is what Runescape stood for (and what I wish I could get back). Anynamewilldo was good ****.

So are you saying they were filling the void that was there due to there being no quantitative ranking system? "A is better than B because A beat B, rather than A is better than B because suck my balls"

That makes sense to me.

I always hoped there was a more elegant explanation for it, even knowing I still wish there was one.

BTW Matt, you still stream at all? I'm looking at twitch*** and thinking to myself that I'd love to make of hobby of that

I plan on doing it again, I had internet issues for quite some time and I've basically replaced everything besides my ISP (because that's a pain in the ass). It's looking better now but I still get spikes here and there though honestly it's getting rare enough to where I might be able to now.

Newspapers were based a lot I think among the individual's opinions and what they see, only remember a couple of actual voting things, like awards and all that. I liked having conversations about different things (including rankings) on the Lounge back in the day. Wasn't anything overly special but just really chill.

Back in the day in rankings "Top Clans" people would try factor community clans and warring clans into the same list. There were alot of clans who were worst then other clans at warring but still got ranked higher due to their community sides
