gollark: I'm launching the new SPUDNET server soon. People who have SPUDNET keys right now should contact me for a replacement one, since I redid that too.

gollark: <@151391317740486657> what is „milo dump„?

gollark: Though not in this, since this isn't running on the live database since I've reworked it a lot.

gollark: Yes, that is logged.

gollark: It's kind of a mess, but a nice color coded one which gets across the information I need.
