Hello everyone, and welcome to 2007! Seeing as how we've just closed the book on 2006, we thought this would be the perfect time to draw your attention to the Tip.It Community's views on which were the best game updates in 2006. And that's what this week's Hot Topic is all about...the Best Runescape Updates of 2006. Please take a moment to see what others are saying.

Also, to start the new year off right, we've got some site content updates to tell you about. We've updated lots of items in our Items Database, and we've fixed a problem we were having with items with apostrophes in their names - this was causing the item images to be not displayed. We've also corrected a number of other items to be in line with the new naming conventions announced on 22nd August 2006. Also in update news, our Runecrafting Guide has been fully updated to include a number of new things, so if Runecrafting is your thing and you haven't read through the guide in a while, stop by to take a look.

Last but not least, I'd like to welcome Dork and Rcty as the newest additions to the Tip.It Crew! Both were part of our Item Researcher team until very recently, and we thought it would be a good idea to bring them on board to work exclusively on the Items Database as part of the Crew. Getting the the Items Database ready for release was a massive undertaking and, in our effort to ensure that we continue to bring you only the best quality products, we felt that having some crew members dedicated to keeping the Items Database up to date would be the best way to go. So, on behalf of the entire Tip.It Staff, welcome guys!
