That's kind of ridiculous. There is not a shard out there that would share all their scripts, people like to keep their servers unique and so for the most part only small scripts would end up being shared.
"Shit shards" as you put them will exist whether people share their scripts or not, and in being shit will not be around very long to eat much of any community.

In general ANY shard that offers max stats, tonnes of gold e.t.c. to attract players will invariably attract the kind of players that hop from shard to shard anyway so I don't see how that is much of an issue, and just because one freeshard sucks does not mean that all freeshards suck. At the end of the day you have those who will play on freeshards and those who will only play on OSI, not much will change that.

As I said in my first post, I understand that shard admins want to keep the uniqueness of their servers and so prefer to keep their script secret. I was merely observing that currently there are not may scripts being shared, the largest resource being the official and SCP scripts, it didn't use to be this way and it certainly isn't that way with the other emu's out there.

I'm merely looking at how many people we have active in the community compared to what we used to have.
Yes UO is not what it was, nor is sphere, but I believe that the community would grow if people saw that we were still a helpful and (perhaps slightly more) sharing community, as we were back in the old days.
If you want to share, that's fine, if you don't want to share that's fine also, but don't start bitching about it.
