Goal scorers
gollark: Also, CLNinja doing rather bad things does not make yours better. It's mostly fine, in my opinion, but at least clearly state the terms.
gollark: It's not exactly all fine; you add an obtrusive banner.
gollark: On the plus side, the only data sent over this will be useless nonsense.

gollark: I mean "how well" as in "how goodfully", to completely un-english.
