None of your repositories should have been affected by this in any way, and if they were I have backups of them. In that case, let me know.

Also, the Forwarder Factory Discord server which has been archived for many months now is being deleted today. RIP.

Note that it may be a bit unstable, and I am going to be rebuilding all of the packages in the repository. This means some may not be included. Feel free to email me if you have any questions or issues.
