Well, let me just put it out there that while that looks like a jolly solution...

We're only asked by the admins if we need any updates once every couple of years, and I would say 97% of our requests go either ignored, or refused. The updates we do receive are minor, such as having words added to or removed from the swear filter, and I believe Yak does that.

We can try and remember it if they ask us again, but I would bank on the answer being a no.
