Salutations Save Point!!

Thank you for the wonderful warm welcome! Many frog croaks to you too!
And yes actually! I commend you and your team tremendously for the archiving work as you actually did have a lot of the scripts I thought may well have been gone forever. A lot of Tsukihime's smaller scripts spin offs for the effects manager, some of Crystal's scripts, and Liquid Pencil's dart throw script. Recreating lost private sites would be incredible considering how so many forum posts from 2014 or so now redirect to dead links that have sadly been acquired by gambling sites. It's a difficult endevour but I think for the community at whole of people who love creating things in these engines, it would be a wonderful effort!
When I was much younger RPG maker 2k3 was what people used and there was no scripting there. Eventing has laid the ground work for a lot of projects because it shows that you don't have to be know how to 'code' in the typical sense to make a good game. You only really need to turn to look at Yume Nikki and Off with the cultural impacts they have had. A lot of it (at least to me) is like fake it 'til you make it - it can be very powerful to do when combined with pictures. You no longer become restrained to things like the UI of the engine. One of my friends doesn't use tilesets in his game at all because all the scenery is just done through parallaxes with the collison also just all being eventing based. I think one of the most impressive things I've seen someone else do with eventing is that they managed to make Five Nights at Freddy's in RPG maker VX Ace - it was near entirely done through eventing throughout just 3 maps.
I actually have a few games in the works right now but the main one I'm working on with a friend is a 2D sidescrolling RPG (think like LISA the Painful or Underhero) using their characters. We're making good progress on it and now even moreso because YIPPEE THE SCRIPTS WE WERE LOOKING FOR ARE HERE!!! I think one thing one has to be careful of with eventing is just too many on screen can cause lag and sometimes it's a little janky, so plug and play scripts that exist to do something in a less roundabout way are always a useful thing. I have a question though, and sorry if this is a silly one: Back when I was on the rpg maker web forum there were boards for script requests. I used to like browsing that a lot cos sometimes you'd come across very niche but cool scriplettes that are made in response, or someone manages to find a script that fits what the person wants. Is there a similar sort of navigation for such here at Save Point?
