Did you already report these security problems to the developers so they can be fixed?melkior wrote:As for the possible server damage, I don't assume that it could happen, I know it for a fact.

You might have heard a certain rumor about me. This rumor is completely false. You might also have heard the other rumor about me. This rumor is 100% accurate.

Yes, I did. Or rather, I've mentioned them on IRC and they had been discussed.Crush wrote:Did you already report these security problems to the developers so they can be fixed?

Please report to me in PM. I'm not aware of this, and no one else is maintaining the server these days.melkior wrote:As for the possible server damage, I don't assume that it could happen, I know it for a fact.

Voted no, just because no. I hope that's okay.

Not sure why anyone wouldn't want the Tree around...she's an amusing bot that gives you something to interact with when the whole town is silent.
If you are going to vote no, at least say why you don't want it around. Don't be negative without a reason.
