You shouldn't care that there is already a

I plan on having people submit the scripts to the site which will be then be looked over and added to the ftp server. And having trusting scripters upload their own scripts.

I do not think any trusted scripters will be uploading files to your server.

I don't plan on verifying it unless someone knows and tells me so, if someone stole the script then it's their problem.

No, it's your problem - you will be hosting stolen scripts from Graalonline.

It's taking a chance just as much as it is for a manager to hire a new staff member, that could just as easily still material and put it on the server.

Only what you are suggesting is centralizing the process of uploading stolen material!

It may not help some people but it will help others and give them a basic meaning of scripting. Also they can learn to modify scripts and try new things.

No, it will give people scripts instead of teaching them how to script. While it is true that a few people will look at your scripts to learn from them, the vast majority of the general public just wants a script to solve their problem. Spend five minutes on UN and you'll understand what I'm talking about. (I get a ton of "Tell me the script for X," "Give me the script for Y," etc. PMs. I then offer to teach the people how to script the simple thing they're asking for, and they immediately respond with "No, give it to me.")
Those who truly are motivated to learn scripting will learn it regardless of whether or not you have your FTP server up. It is not going to help
anyone but it will hurt several original authors of scripts by creating a centralized database of scripts to steal.

If your trying to cause trouble it is not going to happen here.

The only trouble that will occur is if you follow through with this poorly thought-out idea.
Don't do it.
