As for towns, it's all about show. Towns was the place to be for "scriptors," that is to say, kids using WPE, for years. Colored names, widespread vulnerabilities. Towns was like a playground for us. If not for towns, I wouldn't be a programmer. I would have never picked up WPE. I would have never met Lain and he would have never told me to pick up AutoIt. I would have never taken it past AutoIt.
It's a place for programmers to exploit, basically. It's that way for a large part of the community I used to know. Rally was the other place. The place where the rest were. Towns was considered the one that required skill and the one that got the patches. Rally was the rejects that couldn't touch towns. That was how we thought. "Towns Whores" and "Rally fags." We were arrogant, pretentious, and proud to be "better." The way it's so different from rally and a social hangout makes it perfect for this kind of thing.
Trailing off topic here. I started Scripting in Rally and in Towns, later on found LG, started programming, made a few un-released clients that didn't require flash for both towns and rally. Got bored.


On topic. I would like to help out in the flash-less fishing bot. I know it is still possible. I've sort of made one in the past but stopped working on it. I got it to join the game but that's as far as I went with fishing. I'll stop in every now and then.
