And I ask again, where does it say to that it is discouraged/deprecated? The short answer, no where. Prove me wrong, but I have not seen it anywhere.
Are you sure about that? Because I see the documentation right under that.
Just like UserId, :Connect() can also be written as :connect() and has the same result. If you are not sure what I mean with UserId, try using userId instead of UserId and see what happens. In short, it works exactly like UserId. It is simply a capitalization difference. Now, I do not know if it is because it was like that previously, or it is just made that way so it can be user-friendly for people who like to use camelCase.
Yes, this has been depreciated and you should avoid using it, but that does not apply for :connect(). Also, I am not sure why this is mentioned since I haven’t seen it anywhere here. If it used as an example, then it is a bad example since it is a whole different case.
In short, it doesn’t say anywhere that it is depreciated, nor is it documented separately since it is the same exact thing is :Connect(), just different capitalization. Prove me wrong, but this should be the correct answer, or at least near correct.
