Compared to the older Bungie.net, scripts have been pretty much rendered inert after this update. What role do you think scripts will play in Bungie.next (especially Coup!)?
Personally I was hoping that Bungie would have a 'forum API' that would allow us to access some portions of their database to develop third-party scripts. As a developer of a few scripts myself, I was definitely wishing this would be a reality (though Bungie.next has eliminated all use of the scripts I developed which is nice because they were bad regardless).
What do you think?

Edited by CAVX: 1/10/2013 8:54:19 PMScripts will still have a purpose. For example, someone could make a script that "recreates" the old forums (to some extent) by limiting your tags (optional) and showing the old forum's tag views as the forum itself. Coup will likely still exist if it adapts to the new site, since we still have avatars. The dynamic scrolling, etc. might be the only setback to scripting here. It's been so long that I can't remember whether or not you can handle that via a script. EDIT: Script [b]Central[/b] (the thread) probably isn't necessary, though, since there could be a #Scripts tag (in fact, you're already using it).
