Uh, by thousands, he means a couple of players who just get banned over and over again. Sure the total could be a thousand, but it's really just a few players who get banned and keep coming back on another trial. And around the circle goes!

Uh, would you still rather be using GS1??

I would.
While GS2 has its advantages, its introduction has had some significantly negative results.
GS2 scripts can't be used in offline editors. This pretty much killed the prospect of player-created content (as opposed to LAT-created), which in my opinion contibuted a lot to the spirit of the game.

Also, forcing completed servers to convert all of their scripts first to support an NPC Server and then to GScript2 unfortunately had a few casualties.
