ScriptersCF

Community

I own this community of over 8,000 experienced and aspiring scripters since starting it in early 2017. I lead a team of staff that include administrators and moderators that help to keep the community in good standing. I also manage the community and host large-scale events such as the biggest unofficial game-jam events on the Roblox platform, which entails coordinating hundreds of participants in a short period of time.
