Classleads February 2025 – part 2

Hey folks,

I’ve started a bit of an affliction audit per report 3585, and this is the first pass of it as I trim things down a little and make some effects a little more straight forward.

There is some more to go at some point, I’m sure of it!

Having said that, I’ll keep an eye on things and see how it impacts everything overall.
