80 new

September 23rd, 2006 | Category: General, Updates

I apologize for the late update this week. I was sick a good bit of the week, add onto that 8 hours of work and you have a very exhausted Linda =P Plus Travis has been MIA and unable to yell at me and make me do the update lol, so I procrastinated. Almost went to bed before I remembered I had images to update with.. so here they are, all 80 of them ^^

Current image count on RSH: 2226

Current images on RSPK: 1431
Also, a new look is in store for RSHumor.. Travis commented that he’s a bit bored with the current one, so I’ll be making a new one before I leave next month. Any color suggestions are welcome =)

9/13 update

September 13th, 2006 | Category: General, Updates

Added another 93 images to RSHumor.

In regards to the scoreboard on RSpking.com, it will be back up as soon as Travis fixes it. Let’s all nudge him so he fixes it quicker ^^

The site exploded fairly fast though, nearly overnight actually. Special thanks to Meg for advertising the hell out of it everywhere. We’ve passed 1k images already and it was released not even a month ago (about two and a half weeks ago ;o!)

If you have won a prize and have not yet claimed it (or at least sent an email to us regarding it), your time is running out! You have until the 15th to claim the prizes/send us an email (admin@rshumor.net). If it is not claimed, we will be giving the prizes to others =) Once all prizes are given out, we will be posting pictures of us trading to them and all that. If you didn’t win anything, don’t be discouraged, we have plans for other things similar to this in the future!

Large Update and Prizes Announced!

September 08th, 2006 | Category: General, Updates

This week brings a total of 170 new images to our database, this tops us over the 2k image mark. As we said in the 1000th image post, thank you to everyone that visits this site daily, weekly, or monthly and especially the ones that submit pictures. You make this site what it is. We really do appreciate it.

Now for what you’ve all been waiting for — the prizes!
(We did decide to give quite a few prizes to people that: 1) Frequently submit pictures or 2) People who submitted quite a few since the last update, simply as a token of our appreciation. There was quite a bit of competition in the final minutes, no thanks to lalala :P, we really do love you though, Urza <3).

Bogenhiemen — 2m GP - 2000th accepted image*
Tweakn — 600k GP - 1999th image*
Spartan 8520 — 600k GP - 2001st image*
I Ownwo I — 1.5k raw lobsters
Chickenpox56 — 4.5k cooked lobsters
Peter Goffic — 190 prayer pots
Opherahtou 1– 250 blue dragon hides
Carnaforneus– 500 cooked sharks
To claim your prizes please email admin@rshumor.net. Please note for you little scam artists out there, prizes will only be given to the names used when the picture was submitted. If you don’t have access to that name anymore for some reason, we apologize — but you’re out of luck. Prizes not claimed after one week will be thrown into the giant bowl on my desk and randomly handed out to picture submittors over the next…err…many. many years. We love to give things away, just about as much as we appreciate everyone for their contribution.

This weekend we will be doing some compatibility upgrades to rshumor, ensuring that it will work with erm…our other architecture that we’ve been developing for a while. If the site doesn’t work for a few moments, please try again. RSPking will be using this blog for their updates as well, and that site is going to be completely recoded, it just isn’t working efficiently enough. We appologize to persons that have seen abominable load times on that site — We’re working on it!

Thanks,
Travis and Linda

*By 2000th accepted image, we mean the image that made us hit the 2000 mark. To determine who submitted this particular image, we updated with the submitted images first, to see where that put us (it was past 2000) and then viewed page 2000 on view all. After that was figured out, we added the other images. We really ended at about 2050 images today.

Missing :: Reward Posted

September 02nd, 2006 | Category: General, Programming, Uncategorized, Updates

Well — really I suppose it isn’t missing, it just hasn’t been “found” yet. In case you have no idea what I’m referring too, the 2000th image that has yet to be added to RSHumor (Because it hasn’t been submitted yet).

The person that submits the 2000th image (to be accepted (NO CRAPPY PICTURES!!!!)) will receive a prize of 2,000,000 GP (2M GP). The stats page is going to be disabled, you won’t know when you submit your image, and you won’t know when or if it has already been submitted. Winner will be posted — eventually.

Best of luck to everyone. We might think of some other addition to the prize pool, for runners up…Start pouring in the images now.

Winner will be determined by the name placed in the “Name” box when said image is submitted. Contest is void where prohibited, images submitted by persons other than the owner of the image will be discarded and or voided. RSHumor.Net employees and their families are ineligible to win. Don’t cheat. We can see all.

Have fun :)

–Travis and Linda

RunescapePking.com

August 26th, 2006 | Category: General

RSHumor.net is proud to present the latest addition to the family.. RunescapePking.com!

This site is a scoreboard of sorts, a way to keep track of who the best Pker truly is. It will be a place to upload your images of pk’s or dm’s where they will be added into image rotation. Each time you upload, you include your name and who you pked, it’s as simple as that. As time goes on, we will begin to see who truly has the skills (or luck), and find out who is unfortunate enough to be pked the most!

Now to make it easier to find images from certain people (or of certain deaths), we have included the option to search. Results will show images of the pker and pked, so you can have fun with the search option on that. :)

Currently there are only a mere 204 images but we hope that that number will increase at a steady pace. We also have plans to add other content to the site so it’s not merely a site with a scoreboard and images, but also a place with guides and possibly even videos.

Feel free to submit your pictures via the upload page. If you have a large number of pk images you’d wish to have added to the site, you may zip them and email to admin@rshumor.net but only zip images from the same person together. In other words, images from RSN “Bob” has one zip file and “George” has another zip file. Only images from one person per zip file, it saves us lots of time. Eventually we will enable you to upload multiple files at once, but until then, please bear with us. :)

Also, this site can be accessed through a number of alternative URL’s: runescapepking.com, runescapepking.net, rspking.com and rspking.net. No matter which one you go with, you’ll end up at the same place.

Some of the features found on RSPking will be added to RSHumor in due time (such as the search option) and RSHumor will in no way lack for updates - if anything it will get more. We would like for you to know that we will not abandon either site in favor of the other.

Oh, and most importantly, if you do not send/upload cropped images, they will not be accepted. Cropping hundreds of images is extremely time consuming so if you do not at least crop them, they will not be added. Being on the scoreboard is a privilege, not a right :P

Any and all feedback is welcome - comments, suggestions, whatever.

- Travis and Linda

75 More (Bigger next week ;)

August 19th, 2006 | Category: General, Updates

This one is a little late, we apologise. We’ve been working almost full time to get the pking website up and running, there is a few more things to do, but it is coming. We think you’ll enjoy it :). We also purchased a few new domains for it, so it’ll be easier to access.

Next week there may be a 300+ image update

Today’s update puts us at the magical number of 1650 total images. For those of you who view the newest images in the database, there are two images that are pretty deep in. Those two ID’s are:1195,1197 (The rest are in the 1700-1800’s). So you may want to view all of them back to that. Or view the site as we most enjoy it, through the randomness :)

Enjoy!

A Few Changes :)

July 10th, 2006 | Category: General, Updates

It’s been a while since I’ve made a post, so I figure I’d update all of you on some website changes!

FAQ:
Our FAQ page has been revamped, and over 3 pages of new text have been added, with questions and answers. I would like to thank everyone who writes in with a question or just saying how much they enjoy the site. We really do love that, really.

Link to Us:
Some of you may recall about two months ago I said the banners were being redone…Well, they were done about two months ago, but I’m a lazy little son-of-a-bitch and now you have even more options for advertising. This leads us to another update.

Runescape Community Advertising:
We appreciate anyone who puts a full or small sized banner in their Runescape Community signature to support the site. It helps more people find the site, submit their images, and view all of your images as well! Up until this point you weren’t allowed too because they have a rule that a website must link back them…yada yada, anyway — That’s done now :).

Image Updates:
RSHumor has many things planned right now, including two new websites, one of which is related to Runescape, the other which is not — but that’s sort of beyond the point. Look forward to these sites within the next month. They should be a whole lot of fun…Hint: Save your really good PK kills :) (With Pile & Message PLEASE).
We will be doing an image update tomorrow evening, so get all your last minute images submitted so they can go into this next update!

Now for the bad news of this post. It just so happens to be bad luck that both of the administrators (Linda and Travis) will be relocating homes within the month of July so things may be a little quiet. Rest assured while each of us does not have internet we will work on some amazing things for you guys and gals. We’ll do as best we can to keep up with image updates during this time (Well…at most it will be like, a few days with no internet for new images additions [Linda does those, amoung other important duties -- I have zero image talent :(]).

Linda’s move will be close to when this blog post was made, I (Travis) will be moving later in the month, but I’m the silent person who gets stuck doing all the quiet behind the scenes work while Linda throws M&Ms at me and taunts me with AFI.

Now that I’ve wasted a good few minutes of your life…Just making sure that you are all kept up to speed, and this site isn’t going anywhere — Life just interferes with plans sometimes.

Take care!
Travis and Linda

More? Whoa, yeh. 42!

June 30th, 2006 | Category: General, Updates

This simply proves how much I love you guys. I wasted nearly two hours of my precious sleep time to give you another 42 images =P

We’re nearing 900 images and today is Saturday.. I have a feeling we’ll pass it up later today ^^

Also, we’re planning a fan day of sorts. I’m thinking a get together - I want lots of screenies of people saying “Rshumor owns.” Perhaps we’ll reveal who we really are.. then again, maybe not. Don’t really have the details worked out, as you can tell, but I’m pushing for it to be this month, probably near the end of it, on a Sunday. When everything is sorted out, I’ll give you guys the rest of the details. The main idea though is just to get some awesome screenies of the people that enjoy the site - you guys =)

92

June 28th, 2006 | Category: General, Updates

Yes, another 92 images added for your viewing pleasure. ^^
I’ve tried playing around with the little watermark thing a bit, to see if putting it in different places with a lower opacity makes them look any better and it works on some I guess. Just bear with me while I experiment and see which works best.

In other news, I expect we’ll pass the 1000 image mark by next weekend, perhaps sooner. I did the images about a week ago, before I left, and there were about 50 new images already waiting when I returned. It’s incredible.

On a random note, I was thinking about including instructions on how to make a fake conversation if you’re feeling really bored. I’d provide a blank text box and things to get you on your way. The only thing is that I don’t suddenly want a flood of fake convo’s… Anyway, I’d like input on this :P I don’t think it will work so well with MS Paint, but Photoshop instructions will be fairly simple..

Another 52 .. and stuff.

June 16th, 2006 | Category: General, Updates

I’m guessing that next week we’ll have 700 images.

Travis and I have begun working on descriptions for the images, and trying to correct the names of the submitters. There’s a few reasons for this. First of all, we took quite a few of the images from various forums. If we don’t know who took the original picture, the submitter will be listed as “unknown” - thus, if you are the rightful owner and can prove it, we’ll fix it so that credit is given to you. Also, some of the rejected images have been overwritten with new images of our own, so names are kinda funky on those - descriptions also don’t match, for obvious reasons. We’re planning to make it so you can search through the images - either by submitter or by description. Many people either put 1-5 word descriptions or no description at all. There’s no way you can search for an image that has no description, so we’re doing our best to write short 1-2 sentence descriptions about them. We highly encourage you to give us your own descriptions when you submit images, as it saves us tons of time.

I’ve noticed that alot of people put their name on their submissions - it’s not necessary to do so, unless you’re extremely paranoid that someone else will try to claim it as their own. Lately I’ve been leaving the names in the text box in the image, but more or less cutting off the names that people add on with paint or whatever. I understand why people add them on - but you also need to understand why I’m taking them off. If you’re going to add your name on, please don’t use huge text to do so. As long as your name is in the text box, it’s not even necessary to write your name on it. If you have questions about this, feel free to contact us and we’ll answer your questions :)

- Linda
