Unfortunately the bot codebase for sKreamer is unmaintained by upstream,
and written in Ruby - meaning it cannot be run on newer operating systems
(as they use a newer - and incompatible - Ruby).
Hence why i'm looking at decommissioning it, as the server in question has
reached end of life support from it's distribution.
