Got this email when I got home tonight. Pretty funny, I wonder what they plan on doing? Maybe have their lawyers try to scare my webhost into complying? Haha, I'm my own host! Too bad, try again!
BTW, I made this forum private now, that's why I'm posting it here, don't let anyone else know about it. If they do make a case out of it, I'll claim ignorance (sorry, my spam filter was set to delete spam and stupid crap). Of course, it doesn't hurt that they don't even have a case.
Ok, here's the email:

Hello from Jagex,
I work within Community Management for the massive multiplayer online
game RuneScape (www.RuneScape.com).
I have discovered that you host a website at thetechguide.com which
undertakes or facilitates trading in Runescape items to enable cheating
at RuneScape.
Such behavior damages our game and infringes our intellectual property
andother legal rights.
Please contact me within 7 days to confirm that you will remove any
RuneScape related item or account selling posts on this website.
Otherwise I will pass the matter to our lawyers.
Terry Smith

/laugh.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':lol:\' /> they have no case, this site is not illegal, they just do not like the fact it ruins the game for them, and makes it easier for others.

Yea, they have no case at all. Besudes that, I think they are just trying to scare you. You should get a disclaimer or something.
and I'm guessing something like this is going to happen in RS2MM...
-
hah.........gee i wonder how they found out ..............who was it like a few weeks ago who was spammin around sayin hes gona wuit and tell jagex bout this site ?? lol.......but ya....no case
-
im not so sure, they look pretty serious..
/ohmy.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':o\' />
-
They couldnt prove anything though, i think they are wasting their breath
-
They have no case watever123 lol, they are being serious to scare him, doubt it works, ive had loads of accs banned for trading on this site, i just buy a new one
/tongue.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':P\' /> and tht stays unbanned for a while
Also think of the scams ppl will do with that email, dont let it out on the main forum or there will be chaos
-
yea ik if other ppl get ahold of that email theyll prolly like try to change everything and be like "look they emailed me !" and say stupid stuff like they want me to be a jagex mod or work for them or sumthin
-
yea but even if they changed it around they still wont be able to get it in a screenie
-
true but thats not a ss either...........
-
But it doesn't need to be because it's by Josetann,
the one who made this site lol.

Josetann is the owner and the creater

Technically, I'm not the owner anymore. It's owned by a corporation now. Basically it means, if anyone did sue the site, they'd come after the corporation, and not me. Even more basic, it means that the corporation could possibly lose everything it owns (which, besides the site, is nothing) and I don't lose a thing.
-
ahah....well thats good....i guess lol
-
pro its down the river not across the bridge
follow the rails dont cross the tracks
haha
-
ill ad those too lol ...
-
this is only breaking rules of a free online game with additional payments. what right do they have to sue the site. what law are we breaking? i don't see that we are.
-

-
Exactly what everyone else says a "Scare" ... Every game has cheats its not eligal. Plus whats games without cheats lol.
Jagex is worried about the site, and the fact that they cant do anything about it, so there throwing threats at you.. lol
-
yea and i knew that and so i sent the message because i wanted them to think i really cared because i want to become a p-mod but i dont i just want to become a p-mod
