Well now that BloodOgre has been de-admined, and banned, so we needed a new active mod to help people not get scammed and well... IT'S ME! YAY!
Little about my TTG history, this is going to make me feel old..

I joined in Feburary 2006, when the site was in a worse situation than it is today, gained some trust, was scammed allot, made some weird little sigs at I thought were pretty cool at the time.
Became a Anti-Scammer (the group that was around before the Elites, it was quite an unofficial group, basically people that other people thought were trusted so there was allot of YOUR A FAKE ANTI-SCAMMER to some people.), Me (Now Mod), NyPur3Hoppz (Now banned for scamming a Phat (sound familiar?)), Cursed (Still a trusted Elite), Zspec32 (Inactive) and GOD OF WAR (Still trusted Elite) (and a few others that I've forgotten) then started hunting down scammers, burning them on spikes and then drinking rum from there severed skulls and we actually did a good job, if you were wondering where Allanon was during these months he was busy moving.
Then when Allanon stopped playing Sims2 he thought up the idea of the Elites, though the idea basically made them just Anti Scammer but slightly more trusted, he then talked to the people I mentioned above and we changed it so it was the most trusted people and they had to be recommended by two current Elites to get in, making it allot more formal.
^^ Somewhere during this time I MM'ed two Party Hats (the only person so far to MM a party hat and not scam (on this forum, RS2MM and RuneCore))
So now the Forum was thriving, though there were still allot of scammers, but the ammount of scammers had gone down, ALLOT!
Then in May of 2006 I buggered off, for 6 months

Anyway in December 2006 I came back (to the forum, I'd been on MSN all the time, MM'ing and such) and when I did not too many people were still here I that I remembered, Allanon, Cursed, Mod Ryan and GOD OF WAR were still here an d as expected the amount of trust I had had plumited, so I pretty much had to earn it all back, mostly on RS2MM, also the Elites list had refreshed and there had been some big changes, PureBlood and BloodOgre becoming Mod and there actually being a Elite Anti-Scammer group and RuneScape section as we used to just use the "Forsale/Wanted" of the same site, the site was still doing pretty well, though it had started becoming flooded with scammers again....
In February 2007 I got mod on RS2MM, in early April the site was closed down, suddenly lots of RS BM's starting poping up, the most mentionable being BanJagex, no more need be said, all of them failed, very quickly. However in late April RuneCore was formed, by Ryan and JBLee, I was immediately given Mod.
And thats really the end of the story, earlier today I was given Mod on here.
I hope I can help return this site to it's former Glory, I doubt it will be very hard with such good Elites and Mods, and I hope to make all Scammers shudder when they hear the words TheTechGuide!
