  They aren't compatible with our addons, not quite sure why. E2 works fine so I'm not going to go about maintaining a separate copy of the addons you've suggested.

  What about LemonGate?

  E2 compiles down to a massive tree of function calls. Function calls are especially slow in Lua. Lemongate compiles into pure Lua.
  It also supports things like functions as variables (aka lambda functions) and events. When something happens in E2 (such as when a player writes something in chat), the entire code needs to be executed. In Lemongate, it just runs an event instead.

  Source: the thread I linked to...
  
  This uh, might just turn right back to why Starfall doesn't work with our addons, but I'd love if we could give it a shot on Server 2 (since noone ever goes there anyways (apart from Razor)) or a test server.
  Oh, and also this: http://www.poweredbylemons.com

  I would not be against trying Lemongate.

  Server 2 fills up almost daily.
  
  What you meant to say, was no one important ever goes there. In which case, you are correct.

  ... O-oh.
  Well gee, thanks for that. Now I feel terrible. I blame timezones and lack of background research v:
  
  But do we have the resources for/already have a test server?

  We don't need a test server, if we did we would have one.

  So can we add LemonGate to the server? I would love to try my hand on something more lua-like than E2.

  Lemongate got a giant NO after I looked at it for a while, and Starfall, while slightly better, would need some heavy changes before I'd put it on the server.
  
  For the moment we're not going to be getting a lua chip(also lemongate isn't even lua).
