how about a downloadable and updatable by any bot writer or council member or modderator text file which contains a list of the latest release of bot's plugins and so....
that way anyone can get that small text file and compare thier files to see if they need to update...
something like
N/A = Not Available
Code:
Bot\plugin\script Stage File Version
Realbot wip10 08.07.2004
podbot MM beta R3 14.07.2004
Racc N\A N\A
Grogbot Release 1.0
Metamod Release 1.17.1.0
.......
get's update as much as possible and anyone can dl one file to see whats new rather than searching forums
and forums can also place a sticky linkin to that file so that people can get it easy
ps: sorry for posting here but i wanted this somewhere where everyone will read it
