+	HOW DO I LOG RUNTIMES?
+	Firstly, start dreamdeamon if it isn't already running. Then select "world>Log Session" (or press the F3 key)
+	navigate the popup window to the log/runtime/ folder from where your tgstation .dmb is located.
+
+	OPTIONAL: 	you can select the little checkbox down the bottom to make dreamdeamon save the log everytime you
+				start a world. Just remember to repeat these steps with a new name when you update to a new revision!
+
+	Save it with the name of the revision your server uses (e.g. r3459.txt).
+	Coders with the Game Master rank will now be able to access any runtime logs you have archived this way!
+	This will allow us to gather information on bugs across multiple servers and make maintaining the TG
+	codebase for the entire /TG/station commuity a TONNE easier :3 Thanks for your help!

+#define FTPDELAY	200	//20 second delay to prevent spam
+
+//This proc allows GameMasters to download txt files saved to the log/runtime/ folder on the server.
+//In effect this means the server owner can log game sessions through DreamDeamon to that folder and
+//Coders (with access) can download logs (old and current).
+//To make life easier on everyone please name logfiles according to the revision number in use!
+
+//This proc has a failsafe built in to prevent spamming of ftp requests. As such it can only be used once every
+//20 seconds. This can be changed by modifying FTPDELAY's value.
+
+//PLEASE USE RESPONSIBLY, only download from the server if the log isn't already available elsewhere!
+//Bandwidth is expensive and lags are lame. Although txt files of a few kB shouldn't cause problems really ~Carn
