RUL FU: This is a Title

[Rebel Rouser]

Possibly the most boring title known to man too. Hello RULers and welcome to this weeks addition of the RUL Friday Update! Exciting as heck, I know, I know!

Well to start of this week's Friday update I'm going to be straight with you. I have absolutely nothing exciting to announce at this point in time. The site is running great, we're working on new exciting secret content for you, and things are just generally good!

I certainly will have something to announce in the upcoming weeks, so stay tuned for that announcement.

Now here's Killer to ease the pain of the lack of excitement!

Hello everybody! So it has been an entire week since RUL Points were released. That’s right an entire week. I guess time flies like an arrow…and fruit flies like a banana! Ba dum tss

So randomly while look at the richest members of RUL a question popped into my head. What are all of you RULers, which are trying to earn points, going to do with the points? I mean, there are a lot of things that you can buy in the Marketplace, but what is going to be your first purchase? Or are you going to donate them? I know for a fact that I’m going to save up for co-hosting an RUL Night because it would be an honor. You know what? If you reply to this weekly update or to any other thread, you’ll be given a free 10 points from now on.

Don’t think that posting is the only way to get points though. There are other ways, but if I told you Rebel would snap my neck and post it as this weeks RUL FU video. So keep looking for ways to become one of the richest members of RUL.

So I heard that this week’s RUL Night had a pretty great run. That’s always great news to hear because it just proves that RUL is the best community on the web and we’ll always be the best! I just wanted to remind that all of you are the reason why we’re a community. Without you guys we’d (by we, I mean Staff) be extremely bored and lost. So kudos to all of you doing your part in making this site live up to its motto!

This is KillerOfCereal signing off and hoping you have a safe and pleasant day.

P.S. Let us pay our respects to the people that were killed in the Oslo Norway Bombing and Utøya Norway shooting. Over 80 lives were lost today and I hope that nothing like that will ever happen again.

Lets get one thing straight here I wouldn't snap killer's neck and post as a video, that's evidence! I josh I josh.. Now after a bit of light humour lets move onto our next subject. I will comment on Norway at the end because I don't want to bring down the general pep of the post at this point!

Alright, what is next! Hmmmm Oh! I do have something to announce, it would appear I fibbed earlier.

I think I have a pretty big announcement actually. Something that should directly effect RUL. Shoot, I have such a shaky memory sometimes.

I would like you all to join me in welcoming Ye Olde Apple to the staff as our Videographer. That's right Apple will be joining us and creating videos for RUL. As many of you have seen Apple has provided us with the revival of the Top 5 and numerous community videos. He'll be carrying this on in the future, and who knows he might even have some other videos in store.

Now for a message from your Community Manager, Miss Riot.

Hello again everyone! I just have a few things that I wanted to let you all know about today because I’ll have a lot more to talk about next week. For starters, I just wanted to say congrats again to Ye Olde Apple for getting a position on staff. He’s been doing a great job with all of these videos and I continually look forward to seeing new ones. I think we all have a great time when we game together and it’s nice that we have videos to look back on and laugh at all the ridiculousness.

I also wanted to announce that this upcoming week I will be starting the RUL Arcade Nights. I haven’t picked the exact game yet or what night it will be on, but as soon as I figure it all out you will definitely see a post letting you guys know all of the details!

While I’m on the subject of RUL Nights, I wanted to specifically thank Rebel Rouser, KillerofCereal, and Nightrise for hosting a RULtacular on Reach last weekend! I heard you all had tons of fun so big kudos to them on organizing and making this night a blast for all of you.

Lastly I wanted to give an update on something that has been happening around here every month. That’s right, I’m talking about RULer of the Month. The July RULer of the Month post should be out in the near future, so keep an eye out for that! I really love all of these interviews I’ve been able to do because they give us the chance to showcase active members who are a great asset to this community! I also have to give a big thank you to Drax who helps me each month by working and changing the image for the posts. Without the pictures, the posts wouldn’t look nearly as fancy as they do.

Cheers everyone!

What a wonderful blurb! I second everything Riot has said. Every staff member does their job wonderfully. It's quite a pleasure to have such an amazing staff behind RUL. Oh, and Riot you don't need to thank me for hosting a night on Reach spending some fun time with the awesome RUL community is thanks enough! (Riot did such a good job on this she might just be writing next week's friday update! But who knows.)

Tip of the week time. This one is short, and sweet. Did you know you can rate threads? Just go into any thread scroll to the top of the page and click the rate this thread button, from there you can rate the thread from one to five stars, neat eh?(Don't go mocking me for my Canadianism!)

Right now for the sombre message.

The Terrorist Attacks in Norway today were a terrible unwarranted event. It is never justified to kill another person. Disasters of any sort are terrible, especially for those who are directly involved. May we all keep our thoughts with Norway, at the time that they need our support the most.

If you have a twitter, may I suggest adding a twibbon to your profile picture for the time being to show your support. You can do that by clicking this.

I'm sorry for ending on such a sombre note, this is Rebel Rouser signing off with a video of a cute cat, hoping that it makes the end of this post just a bit happier.

P.S. Don't forget to welcome Apple to the staff!

Congratz Apple! I knew you were gonna become staff!

My heart goes out to Norway and all the lives affected.

[Kathanis]

PS: Good FU

[Ye Olde Apple]

Sir yes sir! I will try my best sir! This site will, and I mean will, get the recognition it deserves...sir!

[Nightrise]

Congratulations Apple.

[RUL Jakeyy]

Congrats, Apple!

Onnea omena!! (congrats apple) and it sucks what happened in Norway that person who was shooting in the island was dressed like a police officer, he told people to come over there and then started shooting. killed atleast 84 people, more than 90 are believed to be dead because people tried to swin away to safety and are missing.

[RUL Subzero]

Congrats Apple

My heart goes out to all those affected by the attacks in Norway. I don't usually pay much attention to world events but this is just horrible. There's enough wrong with the world without more people going about killing.
