Hello forumer! Have you ever wanted to go and update your graphic drivers? Did you know updating your graphics drivers can statistically make your graphic drivers less outdated? Perhaps I can offer you a link to do so:

AMD

Intel

NVidia

Of course, the regular forumers may be surprised to find those links actually work, given that links outside of RS itself are supposed to not work at all because of some policy made by Mod Dinosaur sometime during the Mesozoic age, prior to being acquired as a pet by Prehistoric Granny Poetterington; and subsequently getting confused during the great time shift of Anachronia, where he killed his own time remnant for taking his spot at the dinner table and the inevitable problem of wiping himself from reality thereafter. Should have had more speedforce, Dino.

I'm informed by the ancient texts that modifying the forum software is somewhat akin to Italian cuisine and nobody gets the level 99 cooking requirement anymore when there's more profit elsewhere. So as an alternative to modifying the [link] tag to remove/modify the allowed URLs list, I'd propose crafting some more specialised HTTP redirect pages so that forumers could for example, tell people to use the correct Wiki and actually provide a link to it, or other sites of interest, such as the official Discord channels, or the Twitch accounts.

Whilst it's not the ideal solution, I'm hopeful that the dashing JMods who frequent this forum realised that 120 invention was more OP than 99 cooking anyway, so could probably #!/bin/bash this out in a day or two.

It's not the ideal solution because the URL's might be somewhat hard to remember, but hey, they call me "Hmm" because my idea's are interesting, not because they're good.

Pro's: works
Con's: ugly.

Are you mad?
You want to disturb the Elder Mods that slumber deathless in their eternal dreaming?

“We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.”

An interesting idea though.
Apart from the 'waking the nameless monstrosities from beyond time' thing.

I would invoke the Elder Mods. We need not suffer living in fear; they are not unlike us, should we show them our ways, perhaps they will take pity on us, perhaps they would help us, or give us such divine gifts that are merley parlour tricks to their might. All beings have finite anima, and rebuilding the world as we know it might tax them heavily, but just like us, illusionary magic doesn't have to be real in order to have very real effects, and is generally a lot less taxing, if sometimes noticably flawed.

Less uhh, roleplay-ey, these links probably aren't known to the majority of mods, bordering on the shadow realms where the distinction between web team and engine team coalesces. That's to say, they're what NXT uses to send you to the correct site if you click the button to update your drivers every six months, and they probably haven't been looked at in years. Dusty old tomes!

Luckily, I imagine they're pretty trivial to add, so we could have something like runescape.com/wiki.ws ; twitch.ws; etc and it'd be a huge boon for the support forums at the least and probably elsewhere.
