     The old Logger basically did this. Note that it is currently being rewritten,

     Perhaps a neat feature to add along with inter-server chat could be an

     *hum* again, the logger code for that kind of thing appeared in 2001 (it went

     facilities, since those simply didn't exist at the time in the server.

     The problem was that it wasn't easy to set up. Furthermore, when the skill

     Expect the rewrite to have about the same functionalities as the old version,

     but hopefully with a cleaner, better implementation :).
