SRL Archive - News and General

Congratulations to the SRL-Forums - we're at 30,000 members now. The RS + SCAR + SRL cheating community is running strong and well - lets hope it stays that way and convert more Leechers –> Scripters.

I think we should go private for awhile…

I noticed that the member amount has fluctuated a lot… Someone doing some pruning?

That would rock. It would make people want it more. There should be more member scripts, then people would want to script more and leechers would disappear… somewhat. XD

I was sort of thinking that too, bullzeye, but it's not my decision - it's nice to have it be public, though, because everybody gets a chance to learn how to script and such. It is a daunting that out of the 30,000 members, there are 190,000 posts. That's like 6 posts a member.

Yea

Well I guess admins have better things to do but I notice a lot of accounts are created and not used again. When I look at the first page of the Members List there are quite a number of members that have their Last Visited date the same as their Join Date which is like several months ago.

Guys we were all leechers once.. You cant make this site private, U never know if one of the current leechers will become a srl leader or dev. We were all like them once..

Ya, and there are tons of them to :( It is no fun to prune by hand, which I am assuming the admins do?

I'm hoping Dank can make a automatic php thingy for that. My hand gets tired after 50 pages.

Ya, but it should only be for low post count accounts…
Edit: I just looked and there is only around 5k active accounts. That is ridiculous really. Maybe members should be able to help delete unactive/low post count accounts to?

going private would impact the ad money the site generates

Just cleaning up the members is a big step forward imo.

Lol, that would be cool if SRL Members could also "clean"

Where is Dank nowadays anyway?

Thats alot of members, Pruning needs to be done and Same question as santy..Where is Dankness?

dude if you anouch (or how you say it)
that all low post account will get pruned all the leecher will spam the forum…
and some people will look here..and say it to others
so and its cool to see we got 30 register members but 5k active…..:(

^^Same question :p

But going 'semi priviate' would be a good idea. For example, to register, you need an invite code from another member. Like what Demonoid.com does.

Yes, and we could open registrations for one day each month. =]

yeah and they need to pay 100$ to get in;)

That would…. Suck ass. No one would want to get in then. Even if it was a joke :p

Hermpie, when is your script gonna come out? R u gonna apply with it?

the invi things a nice idea, but we dont know many people who arent already on this site. like me!If this was and invi only website i never would have got in, i never would have got into demonoid either. Nearly half of the accs are noobs leechers and one time posters, they come from sythe or the internets, they steal the scripts then dissapear foreva.
Like this site where i came here from>clan site>clan rank site>scar scripts site>srl-forums
and prunings hard like boreas says. How about a auto pruner that kills the acc if it doesnt get a certain postcount in an aomunt of time or just auto bannage if it gets enough neg rep?

Well, we could give like a months or two notice for people to apply with membership scripts - of course, then we'd get like 100 applications at once, but meh. I doubt SRL will go private anytime soon, though.

I am completely against going Private and getting rid of leechers…
Going Private would really put a strain on the money from the Google Adds, and it would also slowly get rid of many people, as we are people we commonly like and then later dislike things. Well If too many of us Dislike this and then SRL has trouble getting up to date after a big update then this community will slowly become extint, I don't mind leechers being here because they might tell friends who might want to script… Meaning maybe the next SRL dev or leader… Catch my dift?

The leechers aren't the problem, the 'family' feeling IS the problem imo. Were getting big, so we need to become a community again. Scripts are made, without people mentioning them. The solution is, in my opinion, move the 'good' scripts to member and clean the members. This gives the members a special feeling and forces the leechers to learn scar.

Word.

Same question as all the others.

The only problem with going semi-private with invite codes is that there probably would be a black market for them. Which would drag the noobs here again. I mean people pay for demonoid codes. Why wouldn't they for SRL forums?

Hermpie, $100 is quite steep. Maybe if they want to get in without an invite code they could pay a fee like $10 and get in.

Hmm, maybe delete all accounts with below 40-50 posts and 0% activity, before we do the Semi-private thing to make sure we don't have a lot of leechers getting invite codes. Also you could incorporate something where you had to have a certain activity or amount of posts before you get a invite code. Not sure about that, but its just an idea.

And would we make the SRL include itself semi-private as well?

i just ignore the pointless posts, which i think is all that needs to be done. if u make it semi-private then u might shun a future dev away(said before). Plus the decision really depends on dank doesnt it?

i agree with that, i think the only thing to do to limit the leechers is move scripts to members (only the scripts that were written by members of course(and not all of them)) then the nonmembers can re populate the catagories that were taken away from, and become members themselves.

actually thats not the only thing, but its probly the eassiest

Im no expert but i think it will it will be like 100 leechers to 1 scripter soon

But this site is a community ce. If it werent for leechers who realized leeching isn't righteous(like me)this place would be cold hardless place with noone to help the people with green names, people with green names make other peole with green names feel welcome, people with yellow names are slightly intimidating and people with red names are worshiped.
And how would leechers cross examine scripts, take bits and peices from diff scripts, change them around a little and make über scripts if the good working scripts went private!!!

As of now, I would be considered a leecher, i download scripts and don't post feedback, because I'm not running them(most don't work atm anyway) But what I do is look over those scripts and use then as examples for a script I'm writing(so far walking is flaky, and I haven't gotten to antiban/randoms yet). I wouldn't mind the great scripts being moved to members, but at least keep the manual current and have some good tutorials(we have them, but not necessarily current again). I am aware that would be hard to do given the beta state of SRL atm but for leechers to become scripters they need examples (scripts or guides or manuals), scripts may be abused but they are needed.

um guys… if this place goes private, you know that only SRL members and up will have access here? everyone else would be cut off.

i hope that this place doesnt become private.

Or move scripts made by members to the members section? But that would sort of tear the community in two.

OFFTOPIC: Legend, will you ever apply for membership? Not that there's anything special with being a member (just a few new forums(all SRL-talk and stuff) and some cool scripts)
