Welcome to our new homepage!
After much discussion, meetings and months of planning by the staff members the homepage is finally ready for release. We did consider using [WordPress][1] but WordPress comes with some complications towards our setup. Mainly because Wordpress to SMF integration is a complete pain to try and do. We eventually decided on [OctoPress][2] which is a great [Jekyll][3] based blogging software. Let us know what you think!
We also need some help from you guys, what do you think we should feature on the homepage and blog about? We've had a few ideas floating around but nothing has been finalised yet and there's no exact criteria to be featured or what to actually feature. A good thing about OctoPress is that anyone can write a post or a blog entry by just forking [Moparisthebest's Github repository][4] add it, and put in a pull request and if Moparisthebest approves, it'll be committed and shown here! If you don't want to, or can't use github, just write another post in [this format][5] and email it to [Moparisthebest][6], though github submissions will be handled faster. I strongly suggest that if you want to take part in this, you read the [OctoPress blogging basics][7] documentation article.

MoparScape is a site primarily revolving around [RuneScape][1] private servers. We have been around since roughly 2006 starting off as a few boards on our mother site [Moparisthebest.com][2] and eventually growing into our own site with a wide array of forums boards ranging from graphics to general programming and we're still growing yet with over half a million registered users. MoparScape is a great resource if you need to get started and make your way through RSPS. If you already have a server and are looking for players, take a look at our [Server Status Page][6] and [Server Advertisements][7] board.
Here at MoparScape we have several aids to assist you in creating your own RuneScape private server, first and foremost you can download all the files you will need from [Server Downloads][3], you can then read over some tutorials in the [Server Tutorials][4] board and finally, if you need some help you can check out the [Server Help][5] board. If you aren't interested in RSPS feel free to contribute where you feel you can, website development, graphics, or whatever it may be. Be sure to read the [Global Rules][8] before posting though. We also have an IRC network, if that tickles your fancy. You can find us at irc.moparscape.org on port 6667 in the #moparscape channel, or use our [Web IRC][9]. Alongside all of this we also have the [MoparScape Client][11] which is a great resource for anyone wishing to start up their own server or just fool around locally; a must read for anyone with an interest in RSPS. You can also access the MoparScape webclient [here][12].
If you have any further questions on MoparScape or its ideals and you can't find them on the forums, don't hesitate to contact a [Staff Member][10] and they will answer your question to the best of their ability.
Happy posting!
