The "Unmaintained" prefix is a technical term often used in the development world to signal that a specific piece of code, feature, or a resource is no longer actively managed or updated by its creators. It's similar to a 'Beware' sign on a physical property, warning visitors to proceed with caution.

For instance, if a developer creates a resource for other users to use, but later decides not to continue updating it due to various reasons like time constraints or shifting focus to other projects, they might attach an 'unmaintained' tag to it. This tag serves as a clear indication to other users that while they can still use this resource, they should be aware that it may not be up-to-date with the latest coding standards or security updates.

From a user perspective, an 'unmaintained' tag can help yourself identify resources that may not provide the best experience or security. It signals that the resource in question may have outdated features, potential security vulnerabilities, or bugs that are unlikely to be fixed.

Menus and MenuItems can be removed and added as needed, always use a JSON validator before uploading changes. For example "CustomMenu" could be removed by deleting:

JSON:
"CustomMenu":{
    "MenuItems":[
    {
    "Name":"!discord",
    "Text":"discord link"
    },
    {
    "Name":"!donate",
    "Text":"webstore info"
    }
    ]
  },
Or if you wanted to delete a MenuItem, say the donate one just delete:
Code:
{
    "Name":"!donate",
    "Text":"webstore info"
    }
Menus and MenuItems can be added as well.
Note: Change only the numbers in the colors config options, leave everything else.
Note: "ShowMenuName" displays the actual menu name in the config above the menu in chat.
