Charts and certifications
gollark: You were *actively* very bad.
gollark: LyricLy was vaguely terrible but at least in mostly inconsequential ways.
gollark: And a lot of discussion moved off into georgespace and such.
gollark: Some other people haven't left but still aren't here very much.
gollark: Anyway, COMPARTMENTAL SLATS is good only because it inevitably leads to gollarious esolangs ownership according to our projections.
