Scape-Xp News
Work is continuing on furthering our collection of skill/experience calculators. If you've not tried one, we suggest you stop on over and check them out. They're designed to be faster and more effective than most calculators out there.
Work has also begun on the creation of what we have temporarily named the "Scape-Xp Exchange", which will allow you to use a new system of "Scape-Xp Money" to buy items that are affected by the RuneScape grand exchange. It's a competition system, to see who is the best at predicting item fluctuations.
Forum News
Works in Progress
We are currently working on organizing the forum categories, and making them more popular. Changes planned are creation of more BB codes, which are the codes used to create forum posts, as well as the creation of a BB code manual and FAQ. We also began a contest last week, to try and draw more forum users.
Changes Made This Week
- A new contest has begun, Click Here for details.
- A new set of forum ranks was released, more information about that can be found here.
- A new feature has been added to the topic pages, allowing you to view a member's stats with a simple click.
- A new feature has been added to the thread pages, preventing replying on topics that have been inactive for 90 days. This will prevent accidental or intentional revival of old, out dated topics.
- The empty email column on the member list has been removed.
- There is now a section on the forum profile page, where you can now view that person's stats. (Click here for an example)
- The 30 most recent topics are now in a box at the top of the forums.
User Input Opportunities
- We need a new name for the "Scape-Xp Exchange, if you have an idea, reply here.
- We are also looking for input about new forum categories and ranks, to put your two cents in, go here

JULNew Forum Ranks and Images
By X Priest42 X I've been working a little bit in my favorite image editor, and have produced a few rank images, and configured them to appear on the forums.
As more members become active on the forums, more ranks will be added, with higher post requirements.
The ranks are as follows:

JULNew server
By Scape Xp I'm sure many of you have noticed that our site has been offline for about a day. That's because our hosting company suspended the account due to excessive traffic. Apparently since we have so many users coming here, we should move to a faster server to support that extra load.
For a long time I was able to host this entire site for just $3/month but a new server will cost me 10x as much. So to make up for the difference I had to put some ads to generate some money.
I know how everyone hates the ads, but this is just a temporary solution to raise some cash.
That is all
