I don't think that we're losing out from a lack of scripting tutorials on the 'right way' to do things because there is no right way.
If I make something thats 20 lines, someone else can probably mess with it and make the same thing in 16 lines that is faster for some people, or someone will come along and write a DLL that does the same thing 3x faster. But does that mean my original way wasn't perfectly fine? Maybe even better because the code was more readable?
There's usually no 'best way' to do things in programming, there's almost always a trade-off between speed, readability, re-useability, and size. Besides, this is mIRC scripting, not many people are really interested in the what someone else decides is the best way to do something, they just want something that works. This is also the reason why people were less than enthusiatic about Clockwerx's scripting pseudo-standard suggestion - most people use mIRC script because it's simple and fun. Standards and people deciding how things should be done just makes scripting less fun and often needlessly complex.
