SRL Archive - News and General

Dear All,

The staff has long reached a decision to eradicate the Free For All forums and allow everyone access to the Junior Members section. The only distinction between Registered Users and Junior Members will be, Registered users will need to be active at the SRL Forums for at least 6 months to achieve SRL Junior members status.

Along with this, other changes will be implemented. The SRL Senior Member rank will no longer be secret, but rather all Senior Members will be recognized by the Seniority title if they do not already have a custom one. In case of doubt or needed help, a Senior Member's opinion can be expected to have a considerable knowledge behind it, not to say that it will necessarily be more accurate than anyone else's.

All members are usually helpful (and I am glad to say) extremely intelligent, especially compared to some other communities, and I might add polite. Senior Members have received this status for their moderator or developer potential.

I hope you enjoy all the new scripts made readily available to you, and that the scripters enjoy the influx of testers.

In addition to posting the link of your script thread in your scripts, it has been determined that the Community as a whole will benefit greatly from records kept from our Global Statistical Variable Report Database.We ask that users register for an account and password. We ask that scripters familiarize themselves with the SRL-Stats System and implement it into their scripts.This helps to ensure some sort of feedback about their script and allows the community to see how and where other users spend their time.It is also fun and from time to time Automating competitions are sponsored
Finally, taking into account last weeks events, SRL will be going private in two weeks. Registrations will be kept open until then and aferwards we will publicly be leaving the cheating scene to remain as a group friends who share a common interest in programming. During this time we will be undergoing several changes, such as forum restructuring, widening our focus, working on SRL 5, SIMBA and Open GL Hooking.

Lots o' Love,
The Staff

Sounds all nice and as an improvement to me. I also think this will motivate more people to start scripting, and as you say "enjoy the influx of testers".

Looking good.

E: Not really sure about the fully closing registrations tough.

wow, this is gonna be a massive change then

There goes our leech free community :p But I guess this will make SRL more popular and get us more members :)

Edit: For how long will SRL be private? Or is it semi-permanent?

We'll be permanently keep registrations closed?

It seems SRL needs new members to survive.

My thoughts exactly ^ Is it permanent, or will we be back some day?

Overall, good changes, I like them :)

Brain work, do some :)

I always liked the idea of SRL going private again, but now that I think about it.. Idk.

What are the recent 'events' that are causing this massive decision? (owait, the other sites getting shut down? [just thought of that after typing this post])

Why are we publicly leaving the cheating scene?

Yes, the 'events' include the lawsuit to iBot/Nexus and the fine to RSBot (which was formerly based, IIRC, in the Netherlands).

EDIT: Hmm, or maybe not. Wizzup just recently stated that fear of being sued had nothing to do with it.

Guyss! It's going private until the changes are implemented to the forum.

Wait, im confussed SSRL people now have there own title?

From: MylesMadness

I think that has yet to be enacted. I haven't seen any title changes.

Thats what I was thinking. Im like all these people who I thought would be SSRL aren't?

From: MylesMadness

Yes. Like there is a SRL Junior Member, an SRL Member, there will be a SRL Senior Member rank, when all of the changes are implemented during the time villavu will be private.

Awesome :)

We could use some re-constructing.

P.S. Glad your active again RAM.

So if we go private does that just mean no one else can sign up?

SRL Developer / SSRL

Can't that just be SRL Developer :( ?

I like Senior SRL Member better tbh, that's just me… but hopefully you just remove it from mine so my opinion doesn't really matter then I guess :-P

6 MONTHS!! Lechers won't like that

From: cycrosism
6 MONTHS!! Lechers won't like that

There's no advantages of becoming Juniors though for leechers, so I don't see why that matters. If anything they will be happy because they can get into the scripts sections right after registering.

Juniors is like just being here a bit longer now?

From: cycrosism

I just realized that i would have just become a Junior member if these rules were implemented in September..funny :p

indeed to the comment above that says pruning. Getting rid of lots and lots of unused accounts would be nifty imo.

EDIT: SSRL is marking someone as developer or mod material? That seems sort of odd to me because of certain people that are in it.

So if you're a junior member that hasn't been here for six months, you'll be "demoted" (I know it doesn't change anything :p) to Registered User?

And I think this is a good thing to do. :3 It'll be much more.. prestigious. ^^

"Certain People" didn't always act the way they may now….They can always be polled out, just as they were polled in ;)

Looking forward to these changes.

Can I ask for a link to this info? :redface:

From: RAM

Finally, taking into account last weeks events,…

What happened during the last week? :redface:


Guess I'm out of the loop :(

Good to know these changes are happening.

All are good changes. I'm happy with these, good job staff.

Will we be able to give invites during the time that we have closed registrations?

From: noidea

Same question?


Also, are you going to prune inactive old members? That would be great.

From: bionicle1800
Yes. Like there is a SRL Junior Member, an SRL Member, there will be a SRL Senior Member rank, when all of the changes are implemented during the time villavu will be private.

There has been a SRL Senior Member rank for a long time now, the group has just been private and the members of the group were unknown to people outside of the group.

From: Brain
What happened during the last week? :redface:

iBtot/neXus got a lawsuit and RSBot got fined.


I agree though, SRL should do some pruning during this time. It would be a nice fresh start once we go private.

Love it! I don't know how you guys do it, but keep it up! Sometimes radical changes are just what we need, so lets keep this community strong and going forever! ( Hopefully without any fines or lawsuits ;) )

Might I ask though, Widen our views? Elaborate please? :)

So I've a question. Why wait two weeks? Why not do it today? Tomorrow? Why wait? And, again, if you're currently a junior member, but you haven't been here for six months, will you be 'demoted?'

No, current Junior Members will not be demoted.

Oic. I mean, i realized that not everyone that was in SSRL would end up voted into mod/devship; it just surprised me since i thought of it in a different way. Then again I guess its a bit presumptuous for me to be evaluating other SSRL members.

Would anyone like to inform the general public what the plan for restructure is? If the actual roadmap for what you're doing isn't clear it will probably make it more difficult than it needs to be and it would be nice to know all of the things that are going on rather than speculating about just what people suggested.

Blah i never got in SSRL :) Ohh well. Nice improvements coming :) Hopefully everything goes well =)

May i get Super old school cup :D Haha :)

This is unusual. Oh well, I hope for the best, SRL!

Yea that would be nice I get more and more confused as I read stuff XD but this update if it is good for the site I won't complain

Will non registered people see the FFA section?

Yay we're going private! I feel so exclusive :)

How could i miss this topic :o OpenGL hooking sounds fun. :)

Great. everyone can use srl junior members scripts :)

From: silor
OpenGL hooking sounds fun. :)

It is! The versions I have tested worked pretty good :)

Well i Guess this is good for me

sounds good :)

Well, it is somewhat good that rsbot went down.
I don't know how many leechers were on those forums!

Oh well, when I started botting in runescape, like a year ago, Scar was still at revision 16 lol, now its like 50 something… Time passes fast.

Look at opendev lol Revision 411

I still think you should close it off tomorrow (as in today, for most) or at the latest the tenth. Waiting another weeks seems unnecessary.

we'll get new members since RSBot closed =/

From: Dgby714

He was talking about SCAR ;) Its at 80 right now.

You mean we will get more of RSBOTS lechers :rolleyes: Oh well, there has to be some good members in that forum :p

How long is it till SRL goes private? (I am not so good with time :p)

FEAR, villavu will go private in another week. Which I still think is silly and it should be private today or within the next three days.

@i luffs yewws
Why do you think we need to be rushed in to being pravte???

Because there's no reason to wait. The longer we wait the more new people will come, and, according to Wizzup?, that's not what we want right now.

why dont we want new people? more new ppl = more activity = more ppl learning to script = win for everyone

From: Wizzup?
There are some reasons for closing registration I guess, but we are not closing because we are afraid to get sued. We're just going to change stuff under the hood. Forum restructures, big changes to SRL, the upcoming Simba project, etc. It is much easier to do with no newcomers all asking the same questions about the restructure until we're actually done with it.

wat

From: i luffs yeww
wat

What wasn't understandable about that? They don't want new people asking the same questions over and over again about something that's under construction. They want to wait until it's all done.

Nothing was misleading. x] I just had to have three characters.

'wat' the best three letters ever when put together

Are you closing registration today? :3 It's been two weeks.

what do you mean by private? people can't register new accs or people can't see the forum? Because if people can see it, its not really private eh?

People can't register.

I'd like for the entire board to be PRIVATE, as in no guests can view it except for the header ..etc :)
I think that will be more safe for us.

I second that.

I heard we are going private(no registering) because it would be hard to make the changes while new users keep complaining about them. And guests can't post. So I think it's enough. Furthermore I don't really see why it would be that safe to be that private. Jagex is more then likely already among us so who we want to restrict?

Erm its more than two weeks already…When is registration closing? I can't wait :p

x] Oh. I thought you meant "completely closed and nobody can see it" when you said "people can't see the forum." I interpreted that as "nobody whatsoever will be able to see the forum," not "unregistered persons cannot view the forum." Sorry.

I dunno for sure, but I assume it'll just be like when you're not registered and you can see that much of the forum.

And FEAR, it'll happen soon. :)

guests can see everything jr member can see…

From: Main_Ftw
guests can see everything jr member can see…

Yeah… it's been like that for the last few weeks.

so our going private basically showing all the guest a majority of our scripts and discussions?

Admins might be busy right now, thats fine. But I'd really wouldn't like to see the forum as a guests.

P.S registration is still open..

Then login?

And AFASIK, it is just the registration that will be closing.

I just don't want the guests to see the forums thats all :sasmokin:

From: Main_Ftw

Well to be honest, I wouldn't really call it private if guests can still view.

if jr.member and FFA scripts are in the same area, then the point of registering is nothing anyways as you can simply leech all the scripts you could require, or am I missing something completely here?

From: Coh3n
Well to be honest, I wouldn't really call it private if guests can still view.

Now you get the message :o

From: Main_Ftw
Now you get the message :o

Lol well you never said that. You just said you didn't want everyone to see everything.

I want guest to be blind.
Also, its already 3 weeks later, registration is still open -_-.

From: IRC
<blumblebee> Wizzup: when are you closing registration to villavu?
<~Wizzup> blumblebee: oh,uhm
<~Wizzup> I'll do it now I guess
<blumblebee> Wizzup: :P there's been some ppl talking on the thread
<blumblebee> and i thought i'd ask you
<NxTitle> you're closing registration? what?
<blumblebee> also, are you making guests blind?
<blumblebee> otherwise closing the registration is kind of useless no?
<~Wizzup> done
<~Wizzup> ikr

it's been done :)

woot:)
Guests arn't blind yet but I am happier now:)
