Description

Distribution
gollark: I'm hoping I can get my sunglasses of power replaced with a similarly good... object.
gollark: NOOOOOO! NOT MY (enchanted) TINTED GLASSES!
gollark: "Deprecated" means "use discouraged, might go away", which seems to be the case *now*, not "removed right now".
gollark: When you say "deprecated" you're not using the old-CC-wiki definition of it as "removed", right?
gollark: It seems more like a bug of some kind, if it removed krists from your account despite the name being invalid.
