So yeah, I thought that it would be a nice thing to explain how some of the scripts that are commonly found being asked for on the forums function - the explaining will take place on my blog page, but here I want to ask you guys what you want to know.

If you have something else in mind that is not present in the poll above - check the 'Other' option and specify what is it that you have in mind in a post.

A couple of explaining posts have already been posted here. Let me know what script you'd like to see explain and leave general feedback about the idea.

EDIT 1: A post explaining a universal saving script has been added. Thanks to user DannyDeth - in a later addendum to that lesson, I'll explain the possibility of using string.dump for compact binary save files. Also, the poll has been reset - saving system is out and done, vote for the next.

I've seen most of your mods and read some posts on your blog. I highly recommend you create and "explain" a fundamental administration script.

Admin script? Link ;]

For newbies the hardest part is the saving system.
Because it's not as easy as calling msg() function with some arguments.

Link to what? Read the OP.

I see that the saving system is getting the most votes - it's probably going to be the first. An administration system will go next.

EDIT: A post explaining the saving system has been added. See OP for details.

You hope GC will collect and remove that from memory soon? In my opinion it's only usable for configs.

It's not really necessary, as I said in the post, you could just do it directly via dofile.

I promised an administration script, I'm gonna make one. After it - I'll explain the coloured chat.
