I mean, may as well have a laugh.

Let's make the longest thread ever made.

What's gone wrong?

Alright you absolute legends, I just lost a massive post to my Mac deciding to scroll back like a tit mid post. Fuming. But here we are again, straight to the point. This is aimed at UK-based players (or anyone else hit by geo-blocks or imgur bails) who can’t see a single image on the forums. Sigs? Gone. Guides? Blank. News? Blank. Purple rectangles and blue squares are the best you're getting. All because Imgur blocked the UK over some ICO data wank and soon to be the full Online Safety Act (not yet), but close enough to ruin your day and forum experience. I thought it was broken links at first. Then I saw threads from yesterday with the same issue. Nah lads and ladies, its just pure censorship and the beauitiful decline of the UK. Imgur bailed to avoid fines over GDPR. Classic.

I don't think anyone outside of the UK and potentially Ireland is aware of this and the impact it has on the forums. I'm also not sure what % of the player base are in the UK, but I hope this makes sense to someone and stops some confusion. I spoke to a few players yesterday, some new players also that are from the UK, so I know that some are having this issue.

Let's take a recent Alora Newspaper, this is how it looks in the UK (minus VPN):

The reason why?

This has had a huge impact on all forums, not just Alora and has happened very recently. I would like to make the global audience aware of this also.

I'm sure most of you know the obvious, use a VPN, I'll move onto changing this globally in a later post, everyone in the UK should be applying WG at router level in the very near future.

So let's jump back to Ireland and open the same thread, because believe it or not, I actually want to read the newspaper and not be in North Korea.

Image Posting Tips for UK Users and those affected by UKOSA and IMGUR

• I would recommend using media, self hosted or imgbb.com, it's still going just fine and is totally free to use (my personal preference if I don't self host)
• Use a VPN, there are free options out there, but you'll be bottle necked, I personally use Proton, but I'd recommend a paid plan somewhere with Proton, Nord, Mullvad etc, or whoever you prefer, it honestly costs a few quid a month and saves a bunch of hassle and protects your identity and footprint somewhat in this evergrowing surveillance state.
• I will add to this 

Apologies in advance if this is totally useless to you, just skip it. But it's a real annoyance for UK users, and some people who play RSPS are just casual RuneScape players that don't have a technical background, or use VPNs 24/7.

Shout in advance to @H For the demonstration screenshots haha.

Hello all!

I have finally made an ironman, It's simple enough to spot me, @ Ultreme Iron is the name, mining is the game (right now).

I want to make a progress thread, because, well... they're just lovely stories, if you actually stick to them.

Let's have a look at the barebones as of 15th November 2025 with less than 30 minutes of play time. Hit me up with any tips and guidance, it's all appreciated, I'll be asking in game and also crawling the forums. I'm ready for the challenge, I'll eventually go into harder modes but I've never really seen an ironman account through before so, exciting times to do that at Alora.

Catch me in game, feel free to add me, I'll be on my normie main @Ultreme also!

Watch this space! Let's see if the ADHD can hack it. It'll go one way or the other. We shall see.

Happy playing, and I wish you luck (yep, talking to myself).

How are we all on this fine morning/day/evening, wherever you are in the world!

I introduced myself (briefly) recently in this thread, on Alora's fine red carpet. 

Look, we all know Discord’s the quick shag. Instant, lively, loud, gone by the morning. Forums are the slow burn, real discussion, the odd opinion scrap, code drops, crypto heartbreak stories that don’t vanish in 24 hours and a place to moan about life into the void where nobody probably gives a sheeeet. I’ve modded RSPS boards since 2012; off-topic was always the soul, the uninformed discussing politics, graphics side hustles, "irl pics" and the occasional “my boss is a twat” rants. Alora’s got a good chunk online right now, but this section seems to be quieter than the UK government.

I've always loved the forums side of RSPS, I know things have moved on with time, and as mentioned with many people turning to discord (moving with the times), or just simply playing the game, it isn't quite the same anymore. However I'm sure some RSPS veterans like myself will catch my vibe, It's a nice mix of both community and nostalgia. I'd love to bring the forums here to life a bit more, especially in areas like this. I've ran servers, staffed and even more simply been a forum moderator and as long as everyone is nice enough it always works out in the end.

I intend to create a few threads in attempt to get things kicked off - watch this space, there may be nothing to watch, but have a peek anyway.

If we hit 20 replies in a week, I’ll host a mithril armour set drop party. Free of charge, on me, it'd be my pleasure.

Have a great day everyone and most of all have fun! Let's try and revive the forums a little bit. Slainte!
