| Place stealers are the only way, it's impossible in game unless roblox messes up like last time (client able to run server sided code by changing their userid) |

Thanks So if I stored something fairly important in ServerStorage instead of using dataStores for it I would be good? |

You're really confused on what ServerStorage & DataStores are.
Now this looks like a job for me. So everybody, just follow me. Cause we need a little, controversy. Cause it feels so empty, without me. |

No, not at all I can either keep something as an IntValue in ServerStorage and access it through there or put it in a DataStore If no one can access ServerStorage, there is no point in me wasting more requests to :GetAsync |

Yes, you are, very much so. Datastores are used to save data - mostly but not exclusively player data - and to load it in after they leave or in other servers.

I know they are used to save data; that's what I've always used them for I never said contrary to that; I reinforced it |

"Please learn the full extent and uses of everything before you lecture me"
Oh my god:
You would NEVER, NEVER EVER, NEVER EVER EVER, NEVER EVER EVER save temporary data you don't want to load again. You would *ALWAYS* save data you want to keep.

We're obv. on different pages for what I'm going to do Basically all I needed to know was that ServerStorage is currently inaccessible by clients Makes my job a little easier I hate DataStores |

Stymi is right. Can YOU clarify what you're trying to get here so we can "be on the same page".

DataStores aren't for "storing data" in a temporary sense, only in a permanent sense. You never save anything you don't need to load in another server. You are the confused one here.
