This is the reason i made RuneCore, Allanon may have partial ACP access, but he cant go through and add modifications and features that the people want. For instance, runecoe has an arcade, attack shop, casino, reputation system, referral system, mp3 player, shoutbox, affiliate system, worldswitcher, member groups...and so much more...plus, runecore is optimized for firefox, the web browser that is slowly enveloping internet user's world-wide.
the things on ttg that are broken (such as the feature that shows who is viewing a topic) are easily fixable, but i understand that Josetann is living a busy life. He obviously doesn't have time to run a site the way the members want it run.
People want nice features, they want a nice skin, they want their voices to be heard.
Josetann, if you read this, please dont think this is a flame or put-down in any way. I realise that this site was not meant to be for runescape at all, let alone a black market. This is a tech help forum, with one small runescape subsection. I feel what people are looking for is the opposite, a RuneScape forum with other small subsections for things such as tech help and many other extraneous topics.
If Josetann worked 24/7 on TTG as i do on RuneCore, with the single goal of making the members who use TTG solely for the blackmarket happy, then this would undoubtedly be an amazing site. But this would never happen, i dont think Josetann cares about this section, he most likely realizes that it has become the most attractive and active part of the site, but i dont think he personally cares about it.
He more than likely considers the features i mentioned above pointless, but the members dont. And that is the problem.
Also, there are not enough mods, especially when you throw in time zones. Allanon rarely comes on here anymore, and usually only does things when i tell him to 10 times

\' /> ...pureblood does his job but he is nowhere near as active as he was 3 months ago.
^ partly because the three of us have been working hard on RuneCore
and bloodogre has been banned...being replaced by Aragost...who, although does his job when he sees something he personally believes is wrong and lives in a different time zone, for some reason lives on an american schedule, and doesnt notice things for quite some time unless i tell him...what TTG needs is a mod who is on during the american night hours, such as right now...who spends litterally his whole time searchign the forum for spam, flame, double posts, and proof of scammers...
im not going to name names...but there is some1 who has over 2000 posts, comes on every day, and has probably been the one to tell allanon/pureblood/aragost their last 50 mod actions...on top of the experience this person has of running their own site, this guy has also MMed nearly twice as much as the person behind him, and has over 320 transactions total, proving that he is also trusted...i wonder who this guy is...
sorry this post was so long...
