MODERATORS
That's their decision, but it's very unlikely. Like much bespoke software that's evolved over a long time, it was a pretty messy codebase, and also mostly in perl and was entirely written to their exact needs. It worked because of me, which was a curse because they were unable to find another person to support it after I left.
You had me at perl!
