He said that he posted it in both.

and it's retarded to allow someone to post their topic in every forum they think it would fit in. "Gee well not a lot of people go to the scripting forum, so I will put this showoff script on general.. oh and wait, I better put it in npc forum so people that don't visit general will see it, oh and wait, I better put it in the graphics forum since it contains graphics, oh and wait, let me put it in the playerworld forums since playerworld owners might like to see it"

No. This was perfectly relevant to Graal itself and was beneficial to the community. The scripting forum may suggest itself to be a place to show off scripts, but I hardly see why it should be confined to there. If we try hard enough, I'm sure we can categorise almost everything in Main into one of the subforums - should we empty it as a result? I see your reasoning here, but I just don't think that posting it here does any harm.
See, the difference between the playerworld forum and the scripting forum is that the latter is a highly technical area. It's not where someone goes to learn about the latest scripting news, it's where they go to pose or work on problems. That's why non-scripters pretty much can't go there - it's far too technical to sort through to find the cool showoffs that they like. But the playerworld forum is almost specifically FOR giving news on PWs etc. So, since there isn't a wide-audience dedicated subforum for displaying and sharing impressive scripts, we use Main.
But hey, why not just ask Stefan if it's against the rules?
