Hello! I need to know if this website is safe. I've played since 2001 and have NEVER been hacked, and I know some past websites have compromised the integrity of some users computers.. so is this website sanctioned by Jagex as safe?

I have used for quite a while now and never had a problem. Unless you wish to add a Clan or individual then there is no need to sign in - just view - it is open to all. As far as virus etc, any site you go on has a small risk but I have not heard of any problems associated with it.

Account security is really up to you, as long as you have the Authenticator on your account as well as your Email and your computer is safe you should feel safe about your Runescape account anywhere on the internet.

That being said, Runeclan is not a recognized fansite by Jagex however I have been personally using it for years as well as other people and I think its fairly safe.

No matter how safe any website is, it is really down to the player to take care of their own safety. Even Jagex will not tell you if a site is 100% safe or not because again that's not in their hands.

So my advice would be as long as you keep your account safe and don't do anything silly :P you should be fine, but I will let Mod Matthe answer this one for you whenever he sees it.

I was really suspicious of it at first when you had to login to it to add people and clans and also thought it might become useless.

Its better tracker that those that require 10 IP views for some reason. Its really useful not just for clan tracking but personal tracking too, so now I'm just a bit suspicious of it.

I don't expect the peps that made it to go on a massive email spamfest, but I don't exclude that option for the next few years in the future. So who knows, its safe for now. :3
I don't know what to put here.

I have been using it for over a year now, not had any problems. I do not use the password I use on the site for anything else however. That's always a good thing to do. Even the recognised fan sites have a Jagex disclaimer saying that they're not responsible for material found on the websites, so why would you rely on that for your safety?

Why don't you contact the owner of Runeclan directly if you have any security concerns?
