Who cares about this idiotic debate between Eoc "fgts" and RS07 "prods?" Could we, for once, work together on the bigger issue?

The core issue is one that has plagued the Runescape homepage since SOF came out:

Constant. Unending. Spam "news."

We can't find anything relevant or important to the game under the piles and piles of "news" posts that contain absolutely no news. Half of them are "reminders" or promotions. Hell, back when SOF was being promoted its hardest, I did a check to see how many actual pieces of game content vs SOF promotions were on the RS homepage and they were about 50/50. Now we'll probably find an equal number of non-game content (and despite wishing it wasn't, SOF is content at the end of the day) "news" posts to posts that are about actual game content.

All this problem needs is for the news to be better managed/ split up. The current "tabs" for selecting a type of news are a joke - there are several news types (the BTS at the beginning of each month, being the most egregious example) that don't fall under any of the categories and we have to manually find them...which wouldn't be a problem if it weren't for the sheer numbers of unrelated, pointless "news" posts. It's cluttered, and needs some sort of fix.
All hands on deck! Douse the sails! Batten down the hatches! There be a **** storm a brewin'.

Well obviously *he vote is rigged or fake or whatever you want to call it, i have contended from the begining that vote will reach at least 500k cause thats what they have stated from the beginning that they wanted it to be "free to members". What i can't wait for is the first vote when all of us members that have had to put up with you 07scapers whining for years how the game is ruined and flaming everything we say for a week get to vote in one of your polls :D They have clearly said that the "new" content will be voted on for the 07 scape stuff...so can't wait for that. Never voted for this cause never gonna use it, but having the ability to vote on the changes to it....sounds amusing :D

I hope the Old School homepage is filled with EoC updates (when we actually get them). Along with the courtesy pop up upon logging in. Would only make it fair.

"2007 will not affect the live game in any way"
False advertisement. Surely if you weren't busy fixing old servers, you could have finished that quest everyone thought was coming out last week?

Yea your definately not going to be voting our updates, they already realize that.


Sabatoge is done when people are jealous of what other have.

I don't care if you do love your stuff, and we've all had the chance to indulge in it, but your kidding yourself if you HONESTLY think that mistakes haven't been made by jagex, Whens the last time you saw 200k+ players on at any given time, hell I never even saw it get below 150k at anytime for quite a while.

@ 1sc tell me please how im not going to be voting again, im a member ...and would take all of 10 mins after this whole ridiculous voting gets done to make an account and then presto i get to vote :D ....and please don't tell me you think all those 415k votes have a real interest in this stuff, as soon as this vote reaches the 500k vote where its free then so does the voting for the updates. Will simply be amusing :D What don't like the vote idea....neither did we
