What would you do if you were in my shoes? - Nintendo-Daily Forums

Ok, recently people have been swarming my site since march 7th. Why have they begun to do this? Simple:

*I managed to be the admin (for a short while) of hxtp://sourceforge. net/ projects/ rs bo t/ (remove the spaces) and so I placed a link there and a working version of rs bot there.

So then after that people come swarming to my site from that page (over 1000 people from that page alone in 3 days) Also people begin to link to me from hxtp :// code.google. com/p /rs bo t 2 /update s/li st
as all of this is going on my site rises to the top of google for searches of rsbot dot org (replace dot with . don't want to get this page listed accidentally lol)

So now we have a V.I.P section and about 19 forums for people to post their scripts, get help with their scripts & find missing scripts etc! So to keep noobs from going in there I set a 5 post limit before they can view it's subforums. Anyways, it looks like their there to stay...

So overall, what would you do if you were in my shoes? Let them stay or try to get rid of them? I'm not really sure what to do.

If it's noobs asking question about the project, I think you are obliged to try and help them (as long as they are cooperative). If they're asking really simple questions, write up a FAQ.

Only one HUGE problem that scared me... the guy working on it got sued & had site taken down. Regardless someone hacked it http://vgchat.info/forum/announcemen...ker-found.html

PDF containing what appears to be an actual lawsuit is in that post at the very bottom.

*shivers*

Seeing as half of the dedicated members of rsbot that were merely there for the discussion rather then the bot, here is a little something to answer some of the questions you may have had. This was a small conversation i had with Qauters himself via MSN. I suggest this be stickied and moved to the announcements just to shed some light on the previous users of rsbot.

To any other questions you may have:

Feel free to post them here or add me on msn and i will be sure to tell you the truth or find out the truth from the man himself.
No, the websites of nexus will not be fine. Almost every bot maker on the web is getting a nice lawsuit. For how much? Probably not much due to the fact that there is a ton of them. Will some of the smaller ones get sued as well? Probably not. Will the users be fine? Yes they are not going to lawsuit over a million bot users. Why are the nexus sites not down? Well Qauters happens to live in the Netherlands(not for from Cambridge, jagex HQ), under there laws Qauters must take down the site or he will be fined €1000 a day. Most of the other sites happen to be in the US, or Asia=\

Please note: Rumor spreading is a sign of ignorance. If you do not know the fact truth please do not spread it. There are rumors out there that are so out of line it just makes me cry, i am disgusted by the kids saying Qauters asked major to make this site because of this and that....

Here is the case file for anyone who is interested. Just got it from Qauters himself.

Hope it helped some,

All the best,

A non-returning user.

Ah, I didn't know it was a gold-farming app. If they're getting sued than GTFO of there.

Yeah that's pretty much what it is. A gold/exp farming java app.
