I thought this forum was a place to ask for help, not for people to request scripts?

It's actually for neither.

"This forum is for advanced scripters to hang out and discuss code."

For some reason, mine says;
"Scripters
This is the place for discussion about scripting. Anything about scripting that is not a help request or topic belongs here."

That doesn't even make sense, there is no other forum to request help???

I quoted the thread stickied here since quoting the forum description is a pain. You could go to Game Design, but your thread will be overlooked. ROBLOX removed Scripting Helpers and this became the go to place for scripting help ever since.

Game Development is the correct one, but I don't help people there, since there is too much other activity, and besides, most scripters come here.

Oh I get it, thanks for clarifying.

Just when I last used this forum, people who asked for a script to be made for them were seen as using this forum inappropriately, and it just annoyed me reading through some of the threads on here just now.

Oh yeah things changed in here real fast. Unfortunately all the best people that were still left are gone now. They never moderated this forum before and that's why they started leaving to begin with.

This forum created a lot of synergy.

Oh, well that's pretty annoying, this forum used to be really useful...

But thanks for your help on my other thread.

Well, a lot of them started leaving because of RbxDev, not necessarily because of lack of mods here.

I want to get into RbxDev (As with many others) but unless I do some large or genius project, I doubt I will get in any time soon.

Most of the people here weren't successful at all, when Sorcus left for RbxDev no one stopped all the people from posting spam and other nonsense. I remember so many people complaining about that, and I am sure that is the primary reason.

So they left this forum to contribute to another forum only? Or a completely new site?

I thought RBXDev was just a community.

I also heard that RbxDev is "full of a bunch of brats that have never been able to accomplish anything." It seems like there is quite a bit of people who don't belong there as well. I guess they just lurk.

I submitted a request to join a while ago while I was working on a promising project, and it was as if they just ignored it. Then I heard my friend got in because his friend recommended him.

They also said they only expect to accept 95% of applications. That isn't selective enough I don't think.

@ImInABox
No they just left altogether. Most of them left ROBLOX altogether. Some where popular enough and had good enough games to remain on the website, they went to RbxDev. Some are still here, helping out from time to time.

That's bizarre, why has ROBLOX decided to segregate creators from creators?

Surly the 'best' will help others become the 'best', producing more great quality games, which is of course a bigger asset to ROBLOX.

They segregated the people who are making the money from the people who are not.

The intention was so they could get into faster contact with those who keep their website and game engine popular in order to better keep them satisfied with the way things are going. For example if I had a really popular game with a high gross, and I had a few brilliant ideas for new features, they'd be able to see my request.

"they only expect to accept 95% of applications"

Actually, it says "the application process is very competitive and we expect to accept less than 2% of all applicants"

What I said earlier was what they had written on there when it first started and until a while after that. I never went back to check.
