Note: It is recommended to install on a 64 bit system. If you install on a 32-bit system, the 2038 problem will strike in, and all your dates tracked after 03:14:07 1-19-2038 will reset to 1901! So, if you want to last until 2486, use a 64-bit system!
WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL WITH THE REPO CODE. DOWNLOAD A STABLE RELEASE INSTEAD. DEV VERSION IS VERY UNSTABLE.

7/8/2021: E_ERROR fixed, repo code is usuable. (But that doesn't make us like downloading repo code more!)
I hope you enjoy it! I had fun developing it, and you can have fun chatting.
Note: You need to be logged in as admin for administrator functions such as uninstallation. After your initial login, go to /app/tools/admins.php to add additional admins, and (maybe) delete admin.
