*** Any tools linked to on the wiki must adhere to the MouseHunt terms of service. In addition to this we have had problems with some forum-enhancing scripts launching mini-DOS attacks on our servers since they hit a large quantity of profile pages to render the information. This, coupled along with the fact we do not wish to "overload" first-time readers of the wiki with too many off-site links births the attitude of keeping third party tools on a "find them if you're looking for them" term. In short, we do not endorse the use of third party tools so we do not want them to have a strong presence on the wiki. --[[User:Dave Vanderburg|Dave Vanderburg]] 21:31, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

  • I removed it because Dave Vanderburg (one of the MH developers) doesn't want it there. Look at the page history. -- B.Rossow talkcontr 04:28, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
