418!
I forgot to post this :$
We had a 418 image update on July 8th.. so I hope you guys have thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a bit late, I got busy and didn’t have time to do it when we intended.

No comments213 New Pictures Added!
After a long week of trying to get as much done as we possibly could for the site, the hardest part was by far going through the 700+ images submitted by all of you and choosing the ones to add to the site. We’ve just finished adding 213 new images into the database, and they should be going live in just a few moments when the script starts calling everything again.
Keep sending in images as you see them, everyone doing just that has made RSHumor what it is today. Horrah!

No commentsAdvertising Situation
JAGeX posted a message early this morning (about 1:30 AM Pacific Time) describing the purchase of buying Runescape Gold as supporting sweatshops, and encouraged their players to stay away from any websites that allow such advertisement to take place.
RSHumor.net is one of the first websites willing to comply with this requirement. If JAGeX’s belief that these sweatshops do in fact exist than it’s our responsibility to do what we can. Advertisements on our network of websites will soon be heavily scrutinized for these advertisements and we will take action to remove or prevent these (However it’s very early in the morning, and I’m writing this as I’m falling asleep on my desk on top of my ACT Prep Book, so it will have to wait until tomorrow morning).
We would like however for each of you to think about this. Most large websites cannot afford to have no advertising.
The advertising that JAGeX runs on their website you have to have millions of page views per month to get accepted into. Unfortunately smaller operations don’t have such luxury. You’ll note they also have problems with their advertisements, and such instances are actually in various screenshots on our main site (Selling of Viagra, etc). Any advertising system in which the person isn’t directly involved in will have flaws. JAGeX needs to work more closely with Google to see that this problem is ended from their end, not ours. JAGeX has far greater control over their trademarks and copyrights than we do as individuals, and in fact they already prevent people from using the word “Runescape” in ads, but that doesn’t stop them, so they need to look a little more closely at what they are doing.
Without any advertisements we could not afford to keep the site up and running, and I believe we share the sentiment with many other Runescape websites (large and small). We have exorbitant bandwidth and server costs on a monthly basis, and unlike JAGeX we don’t have a couple million dollars flowing into our bank accounts monthly to support our hobbies, joys, and the things we’ve spent many hundreds of hours working on (websites).
We hope to have a replacement in place within a couple of days so that RSHumor doesn’t cease to exist. We would never want any of our users to get banned because of a breach of game rules, so we’re doing what we can to protect you. If JAGeX feels like bankrolling the site I’m sure we can come to some sort of an arrangement in which we have no advertising, but as we see that is not likely to happen, we ask for your patience and cooperation over the coming hours and days so that we may mend any loose ends, and fix what needs to be fixed.
Much Respect && Much Love,
Travis && Linda
Merry xmas!
Oh I guess it’s not Christmas, but I added 200 images ^^
About 150 of them will be at the end of the “view in order”.. and the other 50 are randomly dispersed between 2500 and 2900. We should start having contests to see who can spot the new images =P

No commentsWhat? It’s APRIL?
I was supposed to wait until later to actually do the update, but I figured I may as well get it done with tonight while I’m still in an overachieving type mood.
So you guys have another 197 images in there and will doubtful have another update soon enough, as I haven’t gone through a lot of images. Most of the ones I added tonight were all submissions.
Be sure to check back tomorrow though, we’ve got a surprise for you guys ^_^

No commentsA few things.
So.. life has been kicking my ass again. Life + laziness = lack of updates. I apologize.
We still have a very nice party planned for the 1 year anniversary (which was oh.. the end of January =P .. rather late than never, right?), details will be given out as soon as everything is finalized.
As for the update, I managed to get 169 images added over the past few days (yes, days.. I was lazy, got drunk and then lazy again).. so yeh. That’s done now though. Just cleared cache so everything should be peachy. I believe there are still some images floating around on the site that aren’t meant to be on it and I’ll fix those one of these days.
Made a few changes to RSPKing.com too. You no longer have to include the person’s name. As long as your RSN is in the image and in the little box when you upload, it’s all good. Also, if the name of the person you killed isn’t in the image, I’ll be accepting those as well. This should make it more tempting to upload images for all of you that are lazy. If you’re still too lazy to even do that, I have an email address on there so you’re welcome to send me zipped images.
Anyway, I think that about wraps it up. Someday I’ll get back to a standard update schedule. Until then, bear with me <3

Tonight’s update took a while. I’d apologize but I think the time spent on it more than makes up for it being so late =P
Besides, 211 images will keep you guys busy for a little while at any rate.
Also added 90 some odd images to the RSPK site.
I’m going to go pass out now.

No comments12/27 Update
I procrastinated a lot with this update, I apologize. I seem to do this a lot lately and I need to stop. Work was hectic this past week, with the holidays and all. But sort of as a way to make up for the late update, I just put the finishing touches on a 203 image update. We’re at 3151 now and baby, Christmas break isn’t even over =P
I’ll try to squeeze another update in before New Years but I’m not making any guarantees or promises on it.
I’d also like to wish you guys a belated Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year if I don’t get around to updating before then <3

145 new images for tonight, that puts us at 2948 images. In other words, almost 3k images.
Now just sit for a moment and let such a huge number sink in.
Three thousand.
I’m awed to be honest. I never saw us getting this far, especially not in a year. We’re not even at the one year mark and we’re closing in on 3k already, that’s simply incredible. For those wondering, RSH was released on January 29th, 2006.
I know that I said weeks ago that I was going to try and finish up descriptions and names on all the images but I’ve been busy with work and just life in general so I haven’t had the chance to get more done on it. I plan to get more done tonight but I’m not gonna even hazard a guess on how many I can finish within the next hour or two.
That being said, enjoy the update - there were quite a few in this week’s update that actually made Travis and I laugh aloud.

No commentsReally late update
It’s going on almost 3 weeks since there was an update so I feel you guys are entitled to an explanation of sorts.
First, I’ve been working alot. That alone delays me. Whenever I nagged Travis to save the images for me so I could update, he’d procrastinate.
Then just over a week ago I mysteriously was unable to load the site. I told Travis to fix it but he said it was my computer at first. Nothing worked and he finally realized that I somehow got accidentally banned from the server (isn’t that splendid?) and it was just removed earlier today.
So here I am.. and I’ve only got 105 images for you guys this time around. Another week where I have no images of my own to contribute but that should change this coming week because I have a little bit more free time.
Anyway, hope that clears up any questions there might have been. The site isn’t dead.. real life is just kicking our asses right now and we’re doing the best we can.
Last month I was working a lot on getting names and comments for images all correct and since I went back to work there hasn’t been time enough for me to make any progress on them but it’s the first thing on my to do list. Next, we’re planning a party - more details will come when we’ve got it all worked out.
That’s all for now ^^
