Basically, in the first page lots of people were bitching about how reflection is the bestest. I remember someone said that a lot of members left because they didn't see a point in scripting anymore, I believe the reasoning was because reflection went down and nobody wanted to script colour anymore. From a first hand perspective from someone who left after reflection went down, I would know what went on in my mind during that time. SRL went through a lot of shit, and all of the nublets were bitching about the scripts not working anymore. Lots of colour was down at the time. There really wasn't a way to script at all. My working script could run for 24 hours straight, or something, back when it was a reflection script backed with colour, and then reflection went down, so I had to make it 100% colour. It would then run 5 hours or so maximum. Probably some of my errors, some of SRL's errors. Then the engine updated, and shit hit the fan.
My script ended up not working because of all of the colours. I couldn't be bothered to fix all of my autocolouring, walking, banking, everything else, which would be hours upon hours of work, just to see it fail 10 minutes in because of a random, of which SRL stopped being able to solve. Once I had no reason to stay other than the community, I started realizing that the community was full of shit that I didn't want to be a part of. There was lots of drama going on, and tons of the devs bitched eachother out. Nobody in SSRL was happy with who was getting in, and who wasn't. All of the elite groups raged all the time, from what people told me. Then I got bitched out by staffers for expressing myself, and ended up saying bye bye to the community, for about 2 or 3 months.
So, long story short, I don't think that many people left just because of that, but people did leave, and scripts didn't work. Not because of reflection going down..
On this page (5), I started realizing that most people decided that reflection isn't really worth having, which makes me assume some shit went down when some of the staffers stepped up and acted mature about it. So I don't really understand, but apparently people think that a SCAR developed by a crack team (Wizzup? by the looks of it) and open sourced will be wayyyy better than the SCAR that we have. Yes, everyone knows SCAR right now is pretty shit, and everyone is looking forward to Simba, but everyone agreed that SCAR 2.15 was shit too, then Freddy came out with SCAR 3, and we all know where that got us. I'm just saying that I'm not going to believe how much better it is until it really happens.
Someone can prove me wrong. I know that I'm unaware of anything since I haven't really done anything in 3 months. This is really my only worthwhile post since then, and I already broke the rules a fuck lot of times from swearing and being rude. People can flame me all they want for it, and staffs can edit the swears out if they want, but I do want to stay here this time. I like being involved in drama like this.
