"We are dust and shadows"
It sounds like a great community you have here dedicated to helping your fellow mods and admins. However, how do you plan on getting rid of something that will never die? From the start mankind has found ways to bypass systems and create new ways on doing things. Take for example the Neolithic Revolution people realized that they didn't always have to move to hunt or gather what they needed to survive, but instead they started growing their food and settling down in areas where they could raise their family and have houses. This example is one of the many examples in history. You gave them a world where you set limits, they as natural human beings wanted to figure out how to do the things they couldn't. You provided the functions, they provided the exploitations, and new systems of communication. They've created a group with many sub-groups and in the beginning they wrongfully called themselves "Scriptors," when in-fact they were doing nothing more than editing packets and resending them into the game and they are, or should now be called "Packet Editors". They are limited on what they could do based on how much knowledge they have over the system. Take an example from 2007 : Cake, well-known packet editor and programmer. His fame was created through little tricks such as creating a statue in populated town areas with a colored name. As these tricks were eye appealing they were only a joke to this packet editor who was eager to expand his knowledge, while keeping his fame up he started doing research on vulnerabilities, and the games that Gaia has respectfully provided the users to play. Decompiling a flash file is a pretty simple process throw it into one of the many programs out there and hit "Decompile," but reading the code requires some knowledge on the flash programming language Actionscript, and what better way to understand the code than learn it? While other so-called scriptors were trying to become famous (New, Devil, MrT, Nova [current example], and other town/rally ones) the smart ones were starting to learn how to program and read code...To be continued, maybe.

If you wish that I continue with this story please post below.
If anyone has any information on Nova, Devil, MrT or New could you please inbox me. I'm gathering information on scripting habits/styles
