As suggested from other members, why not close SRL registration for a little bit?
Close registration until we can:
- Have SRL 5 ready
- Advance MSI a bit more
- Fix bugs
- Advance Simba a bit more
- Fix up the forums to aid new comers easier
- More scripts available
Just a suggestion :).
I don't really see a point in closing it off, that would just discourage many potential new members. What we can do is make some quick changes to make new members feel more at ease here, such as create new updated tutorials and more color scripts for them to use.
We need a clear link to a download tutorial on the main page. Too many people are asking how to install everything correctly, instead of looking around for it instead.
I just made a thread, hopefully more will check that out. Anywho, sorry kingarabian, but I'm not for this idea.Quote:

Someone should post the list of color scripts offered in SRL Members to get more people to apply.Quote:

If you were going to join SRL only to find out registrations were closed, you would most likely try and find another runescape macro website, amirite? I doubt they are going to check the page everyday and wait until registrations are open.
We will most likely be re-introducing members scripts to MSI. We are doing what we can, but that's only so much. I wouldn't be surprised if the jr. members script section is re-added before too long.Quote:

Heeh same here, and look where I am how. :rolleyes:Quote:

Just keep them open for now, them people aren't hurting us atm
Hheh I honestly don't know if I can say the same. :pQuote:

If I couldn't find an answer even then, then I'd make a question here on the forums with not much hope of it getting answered, but to my surprise I had some high-ranked members just come right out and give me detailed suggest. I wasn't even a Jr. member! This is the point at which I gained ALOT of respect for the community.
We don't have many color scripts right now, it would surely be a bad time to limit which of those are available to only a select group. I say release all you can, give people the chance to learn.
The only reason why I'm an SRL-Member is because of curiosity. I first came to SRL to run bots so I can level up while I was away. Then, I wanted the challenge of scripting.
Don't close out others who are looking for that challenge.
Same here. I always look at what others have coded first to get an idea on what to do. If I still need more help I go straight to tutorial island or ask someone on Msn.Quote:

+1 I will try get some spare time and convert some of my scripts to color :)Quote:

But SRL5 isn't that far off.. I just need time to help :(
A lot of times I only put in ~10 mins worth of work, then just commit that until I have more time. It's better than nothing :rolleyes:Quote:

This, exactly happened to me as well :)...Quote:

Might be some scripters from rsbuddy who want to join here to continue their great work.
But we have to stay small to not be ddossed or something by jagex likewised happend to powerbot.
Despite it being contrary to the SRL philosophy, this is a way to earn a few bucks, paid registrations.
Certainly not.Quote:
