Been doing more cleanup of things. I thought now would be a good time to remind everyone that if you submit a thought of the day, you should still keep the server rules in mind, and be mindful that your SteamID is, in fact, logged.

I've found entries that squarely, without any ambiguity, fall under the category of 'Sexualizing Minors', for example. Also, attempting to submit TOTD entries with strings for attempted script injection attempts also fall squarely under the category of 'This Will Get You Banned.'

Here's a nice breakdown of the first pass analysis, for those that like data:

We are changing our ban appeal system, to streamline things for staff, since Discord is extremely limiting in what we can do with the forums and the bots.

We're adjusting language where needed, but going forward, you can appeal a ban at: https://swamp.sv/appeal

Or, you can go to our website, https://swamp.sv/, and click on the new 'Player Relations' dropdown.

A Final Appreciation from Joker’s family

Now that Horatio was taken ownership of Swamp Servers, we want to say a final sincere Thank You to everyone in the amazing Swamp Servers community for all your support to Joker and his games over the years. He put in endless hours with his heart and soul into making it the best servers he could for all of you, his treasured friends.

We appreciate the over 300 posts you sent us in Discord and Steam, sharing your good memories, photos and videos. Your condolences, prayers & well-wishes really touched us as well.

We hope you continue to enjoy your time with your good friends in the Swamp as Joker always wanted you to. Please honor his legacy by respecting and taking great care of each other as life is precious and fleeting. Remember you are enough, you are valuable and the world is a much better place with you in it.

Sending Peace, Love & Respect to each & every one of you, Joker’s family🐸💕

We're in the process of transferring ownership of all the assets right now.

The dust should be settled tonight/tomorrow, and we'll start addressing issues we couldn't address previously.

Just wanted to provide another update. My lawyer had a bit of a field day with all of this since he doesn't understand what it is I'm spending money on here. We finished the final(hopefully) draft of the agreement this morning, and it's being sent over shortly. Once Joker's parents review it, and hopefully accept it, we'll be able to finally move forward and get all of this buttoned up. Sorry for how long this has taken.

Wanted to provide another update. I will be closing the GoFundMe for donations once I get home. Paperwork is being sent over tonight for their review. Hoping to get the process started Friday for getting things transferred over. I wanted to thank everyone who donated to the cause.
