Doubtful. I was just a kid at the time who lurked on forums. Were you involved in the scene? If yes, do you mind if I ask what you ended up doing professionally? RS cheat developers were my role models growing up. I’ve often wondered what members of that community are up to now.

Yep, I used the nick 'Mopman' then, if you remember that name at all. Kind of appropriately for the name, I was mostly a janitor :D Admin @ Moparscape and the public Aryan channels, there's a few commits of mine in the bot but I definitely can't take credit for most of the bot itself, that was other peoples work. I did make few releases of it after the banwave incident you mention, though quickly passed that torch on (it was a lot of hassle, tbh).

Professionally nowadays I'm a pen tester/security consultant.

That's so cool. I'm star struck. I haven't thought about RuneScape in a very long time, but this thread has made me overcome with a bitter sweet sense of nostalgia. I knew so little about programming back then, so people who could manipulate this game I loved with their own code were like gods to me. The whole experience made a very strong impression on me. Thank you!
