ARS is a bot for RuneScape Classic based on the source code to Pro-Bot. It was released after it was discovered that Pro-Bot was stealing people's passwords. The differences are that bugs have been fixed and the JBoss password sender has been removed. It has a growing community (currently at 40 users) and more and more scripts are being made each day.
The bot is hosted by AutoRune.org and supported by me and members of our community. The administrators were previously members of the community of the legendary bot AutoRune and have chosen to stay involved with RSC. These are Ix Storm (me), Axel, ccna (dub) and Tob3 (tobe). Axel was previously an administrator on the Pro-Bot forums, however, the hacking was done by Mark without Axel's permission or knowledge. Axel never trusted Mark, and in private urged people not to use the bot. When he met Mark, he did not know his past but was still suspicious of him. When it was confirmed that Pro-Bot users were getting hacked, the redirect from AutoRune.org to the Pro-Bot forums was removed and Axel stopped contact with Mark. He found out about ARS when I originally posted it on Sythe, and contacted me on RSC and offered to host ARS on AutoRune. And that has how it has been since.
If you do not trust the bot, you can use a decompiler (found here: http://java.decompiler.free.fr/?q=jdgui) on Bot.jar to examine the source code. Try it yourself.
The bot has a static HTML news page (direct link: http://rscc.dyndns.info/rsc/news.htm) to inform users of the latest updates to the bot. The only time the bot uses the network is to fetch this HTML page and to connect to the RS Classic servers. This is the code used to fetch the news page:
We have recently banned a scammer from our community. As a result, he has been spamming Sythe in an attempt to discredit the bot.
I hope this cleared some stuff up.
