Flooterbuck is a very strange name. Anyway, while pea is maintained by hj and fimm, she’s my bot, and I don’t really want to do anything to fuck her up. She’s got so many hacks and weird shit in her already, I don’t know how well one would be able to migrate those without a shitload of work on the guys’ part.

Yeah we have modifications all through the core code. Extras.pl is the lest of its issues. :) We have embraced the core design’s extremely tight coupling and created a monster.

A monster that works, mind you!

I probably underestimated the level of evil involved. :-) Floot does get rid of the whole "Extras" garbage, though.

Also, the name “flooterbuck” needs some careful reconsideration. :)

pea’s functionality is substantially supported by evil internal hacks and the occasional reliance on hysterical features, so I’m not sure she’s a good candidate for porting to a new piece of software.
