Third-Party Plugins

This page is intended for plugin developers to use to make their plugins more visible to users. We do not provide hosting for plugins, as we simply do not have the resources to do so. We do, however, encourage anyone hosting their own plugins to add a row to the table below!

Note that we do not support any of these plugins. If you have problems with the plugins, you need to contact the plugin's developer using any resources available on the plugin's website. Any and all tickets citing bugs in third-party plugins will be closed as invalid, as we do not develop or support these plugins. You have been warned.

A further note to anyone editing this page: Make sure you have the correct website for the plugin you add. I am tired of fixing bad links and getting e-mail to my project because no one pays attention to their edits. -- rekkanoryo

So, all that said, here are the tables of plugins:
