-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] The one I don't get is alltalk, that apparently makes your server a custom server. As someone who runs 3 servers, this means that all of them are now harder to fill. Alltalk is actually preferred by the community I help run, so turning it off isn't really an option. Why does every patch seem to make it more difficult for us server admins?
