First things first. [Zyt3x feels like flaming]
1. Simba is not a bot. Simba is not a client. Simba is a program. It's a program designed to automate tasks on your computer, be it ruenscape or neopets or whatever you'd like to do (It could even write you a book!)
2. MSI (Or any other script you download from here) is not a bot. MSI is not a client. MSI is a script. Written for the program Simba.
3. SMART is not a bot. SMART is not a client. SMART is an applet designed to load runescape in a window that can be utilized by Simba (Or any other program that supports it) and SMART can be minimized.
There are no bots on this website. There are no clients on this website. You don't have to pay anything to bot on runescape using this program, everything is free here, even the scripts. We (The people scripting AKA programming in Simba) do this on our SPARE TIME. Don't expect us to be there for you all the time; USE THE SEARCH BUTTON, and USE YOUR BRAIN.
I'm so tired of people posting "This bot doesn't work", and stuff like that.
I'm basically writing down my thoughts here, and (hopefully) someone will read it and learn some basic stuff about villavu. (villavu is, in case you didn't notice, this forum. It's also known as the SRL Forum)
E1: The title "SRL Member" is a honorable title. Being awarded with such a title (after applying) means that one has been deemed good enough by other the other SRL Members (plus the higher ranks as-well) to be considered one of the good scripters on this forum. If you're applying without a script, you're basically wasting time.
E2: Remember, this community is about programming and learning. Compared to communities like PB (PowerBot), the most outstanding difference is that their community is (solely) focused on botting and creating bots for runescape, where this community is more like "Learning through programming for a game you (used to) play, to learn and to develop your skills, be it the English language, math, logic or programming in general. I have no idea how much this forum has helped me develop to be the one I am today.
I know for a fact that this forum has indeed helped me to mature a lot, and find out what I like to do, and what I'd like to do later in life.

First we look at Simba itself. It looks like an IDE with a integrated interpreter. Is that a bot? Not really.
Then we look at SRL: It just provides some functions, like movemouse and solve randoms. Is that a bot? Not really. It does nothing on its own.
SMART: it just loads the runescape client and passes pixels. Heck, it's not even necessary to use, we have used SCAR for the first 5 years of RS2 without it, we still don't need it. So is SMART a bot? It's not a necessary component to auto, so no.
The scripts: they just call some functions in SRL and Simba. They are quite intelligent but usually they do only one task. Besides they can't run on their own. Are scripts a bot? No.
The whole package, from beginning to end, might be called a bot. The individual parts sure aren't. And that's what has always set us apart compared to other 'bots', like Nexus, RSBot and RSBuddy: they offer one tightly integrated package. We don't, all the individual parts are clearly visible. There is nothing that you can call a "bot" at this website because there is simply no such thing.
Calling Simba/SRL a bot is like calling a guitar just a thing that makes sound. You might be correct, but you miss all the sexiness it has.
Also look, I put some things apart here
Is a spade not a spade ???

I say this at the risked of being burned at the stake before even having had time to get to know you all...
Zyt3x: Yes, I have read your post and I suspect that I may not have learned what you hoped I would. But I have to challenge you on this. Why are you so defensive on this matter ? As you illustrated, Simba scripts could be used to write a book - but they aren't - are they ? We are writing scripts for Simba to automate our character. DOes that sound better ? Why are you so offended when people called Simba / SRL / SPS / SMART / MSI a bot. Are we not kidding ourselves here ?
Please correct me if I have missed something here. All I have seen so far on the villavu forum is directed towards RS and scripts to automate your character - aka bot - yes ? What other scripts are their on villavu and what else do they do - besides being used for Runescape. Perhaps I have missed your point Zyt3x - and please - help me if I have.
Please let me know what other tasks do people use Simba for. And they may well do - but I do not see that on this site.
I do not mean or intend to offend here. But would it not be fair to say that perhaps other sites do indeed use Simba for other tasks - but the only task I see Simba being used for here is Runescape.
Is this because Jagex has taken such an aggressive stance against owners and sites that host tweaked clients or bots (for sale or otherwise) - and that this is the real fear here.
Please enlighten me. Thanks!

Whether it is or is not in fact a bot becomes irrelevant at that point. Perception defines reality. And the perception is..."It's a bot." Suck it up Princess. ;)
You get end users and then you get end users. Which one are you ? :unsure:
On a slightly less quizzical note though...
For those who couldn't care less about the insides - yes, it's a bot. The question is, for which of you regular Villavu forum users, is it a bot and for which of you is it a script ? I will wager that you don't care one way or the other. Or as Bixby Sayz: Semantics - that's all it is.
Personally - when I want it to do repetitive tasks until I tell it otherwise - it's a bot. When I am developing for Simba either from scratch or fine-tuning a masterpiece - then it's a script. For me - it's all in the intent. Bot and Script co-exist - morphing from one to the other seemlessly and mostly un-noticed - until dudes like me come along and stir up the pot. :stirthepot:
