gollark: This obviously creates a paradox.
gollark: ++delete the table
gollark: It stores a schema version number and uses that to determine whether it needs to run commands to create new tables and stuff, so if you delete tables without actually creating a migration for it then it will *not* automatically recreate them but will act as if they still exist, so stuff will break horribly.
