Yup, the new informer issue is up for this month. As usual you can see it at
http://www.informer.rsbandb.com

A big thanks to the Newspaper staff for submitting their articles, promptly and on time, inspite of the server troubles.

- Brad

Yay, it's up.

Congrats MOTV on the SOTM. A question on that: Where can I get my two trophies?

Anywho, this should keep me reading for a about an hour or so. Grats guys, good job.

My name is all one word, dammit! MasterOfTheVortex.

Nice articles from Crysala, and Alex 43, as usual. (Although Manya's stuff always is a little... odd.)

Shane, Konqueror passes the Acid2 test - you said only Opera and Safari do. This is mentioned on the acid2 website, on wikipedia, and I have verified it myself (i have a Fedora linux partition).

It was considerably better than September's and October's Informers, although, again, not perfect.

7870074 was gained much respect with me over the last month - he seems to be one of the few members who is intelligent on rsbandb. However yet again, his article was not particularly long, and while I accept you may have a social life, I do too, but I am now writing a essay a week for RSBandB (look in my sig), even though I have a job, archery, guitar/band practice, and a considerable amount of homework.

Again, the whole thing was not long enough. Shane, writing one tech article per month is not enough in my eyes. Maybe you ought to consider giving someone else an Informer job who can actually write another tech article. And the Informer as a whole only captured my interesting for about 15 minutes or so - this is a newspaper, I want to be interested for at least half an hour, if not more.

As I said last month, I still think you should make the former every two weeks, rather than every month. It does not take a month to write the content you have made. I have a feeling you all probably just wrote it in an hour or so then thought 'Yay, another three weeks in which I dont have to do anything.'

So, overall, good, but short.

We've already got another tech writer in place.

And here's MasterOfTheVortex with once again some very thorough and well-appreciated (by some) feedback.

My suggestion to this is, that with Shane's permission, those who want to contribute to a bi or trimonthly Informer should be allowed too instead of typing their articles early and impatiently waiting for the Informer to appear so they can hear the comments on their silly ideas about blue dragons going on strike. I would think that the in-between newpapers would be smaller, with a larger one at the end of the month because not everyone might want to have to write an article once a week or 2 weeks.

Personally, I only skim through each month's newspaper to see if anything catches my interest. So far, only Shane's "how to build a gaming computer" article a month or so ago caught my eye. I'd like to see something other than runescape prices, what the runescape updates were and varied tech articles, because for the first two, we pretty much know them anyway.

Have something funny or sparkly next month, please? :D

Heh, you obviously haven't read my articles yet. Manya's Meyhem is all about humor.

I'm going to agree with Anubis here. Crysala's article was the only one I bothered reading in full this month. Mainly due to the sarcasm injection it delivered XD.

You guys make me sad. Very sad. I've been called "boring" before, but not like this.

That's it, the gloves are coming off. Come January, I'm gonna turn your idea of the Runescape world upside down!
