+		<li class="wip"><font color='purple'><b>Please update your BYOND clients!</b></font> Ideally everybody should be running the latest version of byond (v496).  People who fail to update to at least version 494 within a month's time may find themself unable to connect. Currently our  code has no restrictions at all, which is rather bad. By getting the user-base to keep their clients up-to-date we can make use of newer BYOND features reliably.</li>
