Scripts are scripts - they enhance the functionality of the program. Icechat has scripting capability as well. I think they have their own small script repository as well.
The major scripts such as sysreset and UPP that I mentioned are actually a whole package of scripts, many of them working together. It's almost like a plug-in system. Or like the extensions for Firefox. Some of those scripts even go so far to really make the whole mIRC experience a LOT different from using the stock mIRC out of box.
The scripts are there to enhance the irc experience. Some of those adds functionalities, such as file serving, auto greeting system, file server browsing helper, winamp / other media player song announcement, or even bittorrent status show off... Some others automate things, such as nickserv auto registration / identification, flood/spam control, channel stats taking, kick/ban management for the channel ops, etc, etc. Others are there for pure entertainment, such as slap scripts, trivia bots, quote bots, etc.
