Starblaster

#1

I was reminiscing the other day and I thought of the first time I had used SCAR and that led to me thinking about starblaster. I remembered that he left the scene without really leaving a word as to why. Well I searched around for him a little bit and I happened to come across a profile on a web development forum with his name.

I still wasn’t sure if it was him though so I checked some of his posts and lo and behold I found a post in which he answered some questions about moparscape and the likes. So at that point I was pretty sure it was the right guy so I sent him a message telling him who I was and why I was contacting him and I asked him we he left so abruptly. I waited for 3 or 4 days and I actually got a response.

Hey buddy,

How’s it going? Nice to hear from an old school cheater

There were a few reasons I decided to leave, but without going into all the drama (lets face it, interent drama is pretty childish, right?), there were two main reason:
I simply became too busy - Around the time I decided to leave, I had started Uni, was enjoying myself quite a lot, and picked up a lot of new responsibilities. Although I checked in once in a while, I just became out of touch with the whole scene over time.
Cheating on RuneScape became very Java based; All of the java bots started to boom, and even SCAR bought in Java to help combat the new cheat detection systems. I was simply not interested in Java at all.

That’s pretty much it! I’ve now got a great job as a Web Developer, and have little time for anything else. I barely have any time to browse this forum now, let alone help manage about 5 all at once!

I’m pretty sure no one really minded me leaving anyways.

Good to hear from you, and nice to know you used my scripts. I really enjoyed making them back in the day

Not sure how much any of you care but I figured some of you might.

Crazy! I thought he might have seriously died or something, since he left everywhere so suddenly. It’s not like he slowly stopped showing up like someone who got busy, he was VERY active one day and never came back the next.

I also am not sure what went down at SRL with him before he left, but ‘Starblaster’ seems to be a bad word over there, have you posted it there at all? You might want to. Either way, do you mind if I quote you in the dev-only forum over there?

Feel free to quote me.

Also, I’m not sure if you remember what exactly went down over at srl but there is an old announcement over there that explains it a bit. https://villavu.com/forum/showthread.php?t=34851

I have trouble believing that he would do something like that though.

#4

That looks like the reason they are all pissed at him. Making that extra account actually is something starblaster would do, he did the same on ruler’s forums. I checked to make sure there weren’t any hidden admins here very carefully when he left.

#5

If you knew he would do something like that then why was he an administrator in the first place? :confused:

#6

He was admin here before that happened at ruler’s board, plus no one really liked that site at the time (he offered me a staff position to, I declined), so we thought it was funny. He didn’t do anything bad there though, so I am shocked he did it at SRL.

(we even sent him a “get well” card when he suffered a carcrash… though nowadays I dont believe this either anymore) When we discovered he had his shadowaccount daniel-blaze granted full-access to all forums, and started illbreathed-flaming everyone and everything, we regretfully ended his “career”.

His ess miner made me a lot of gp lol. But just a few months after I got it, aryan came out so I obviously chose to run 10 aryan bots instead :stuck_out_tongue:

#11

Wasn’t there an account here called ‘Daniel.Blaze’ at some point? :S

#12

I had searched for it here a few times and I also googled it but I could never find it. I do remember an account here by that name though…

I have definitely seen/heard of the name before reading this topic and the SRL forum topic today.
Maybe I happened upon it somewhere else… although my visits to the SRL forums or ruler’s forums are few and far between.

Daniel Blaze was a second account he created on SRL with admin privileges to troll and attack our admin ‘Hobbit’ mostly and others staffers/developers iirc

The account only lasted about 3 days before it was banned and then starblaster was banned soon after.
