SRL Archive - Celebratory Events

Well, not quite, but I'm not going to be here in 5 days so I thought I might as well post this now.

Hey everyone, I'm JAD. A lot of you newer people may not know me very well because I haven't been on srl too much over the past months. But the older members probably do because of how much of a spammer I used to be (:p).

Anyways, in a few days it will be exactly 2 years since I officially registered here at srl so I thought I'd make a post. I started out here a 12 year old just looking for some Runescape auto's like any other leecher. I really didn't know anything about computers. Then I came across WhoCares357's guide to just beginning SCAR scripting and thought it was fascinating how easy it was to create an auto. So I started working…

I was home schooled so I did have a good amount of free time. I spent 3-4 hours a day reading up on juicy tutorials to improve my scripting and got a lot of help from some great people (Boreas was one of them. It's amazing to think that he wasn't even a dev at the time!). So in 1 week I wrote my first tutorial on teaching scripting and made a power miner and applied for membership. To my surprise, I got on one day and Fawki had posted his famous phrase, "In!".

So from there on out I wrote a few more tutorials, stayed active in helping people, had a few low quality posts here and there (maybe a little more then a few :p), and wrote a few scripts. It was a lot of fun, but sadly I think that one of the reasons I was actually here was just to try to make a name for myself I guess. It felt good to get cups and new member status's and everything. So I think one of the subconscious reasons I tried so hard was just because I wanted to get "higher up in the ranks" to boost my ego. I didn't notice it then though because it was subconscious. I may not have been the only one to have this subconscious alterior motive, but I now realize how wrong this was. I was helping people and writing tutorials partially for me, not just for the sake of helping people, and that was wrong. Anyways… It helped me become a better person and I've grown up now.

Later I started to learn other languages like C++ and Java and now I am going to community college for my programming certificate and then moving on to get my Computer Science degree.


So anyways, I just wanted to thank everyone here at srl. I had some really fun times here with all of you. It really is a great way to get started programming and create some good memories at the same time.

Sincerely,
~JAD

I started out exactly like you… I'm at the 1 and 1/2 year mark i believe though. It's great to hear that you are going on to do better things in life (I myself plan on taking c++ courses this summer for game programming.) Good luck with community college.

Hey, JAD I remember you, I know you remember me :).
I kinda did the same as you but instead of C++ I went to C#.
I plan on learning C++ at home while im working out in the summer.

A very Touching SRL Story indeed.

Sad to see you go, I've really respected you in your time here. Have fun at college :)

I'm not going away to college, I'm only 15 :p I'll still be around here every once in a while like I have been over the past months.

wait, you come here at 12?

program calulateage;
var startage,endage:integer;

begin
  startage := 12;
  endage := 15;
  if (startage + 2) = endage then
  begin
    writeln('You are the age you say you are');
  end else
  writeln('You need to take 1st grade math again');
end.

Man, I really respect you, your the first person that actually helped me tut-wise, I especially love your error fixing thread. Maybe someday you'll update it :).
And just 15.. wow!
Congratz??

Anyways, in a few days it will be exactly 2 years since I officially registered here at srl

I leeched for a while before registering, and actually my first account's name was Killler, but I thought that was a gay name so I re-registered as JAD :p


And I'm glad my tuts helped you NaumQhwaldhgsj. I never could remember your name lol. I guess I could update some of my tuts, but there are so many other tuts out there now-a-days, that mine wouldn't really be necessary, or used.

Gratz.

Hehe, congratulations
