You are free to use any scripts you wish provided they do not affect
the normal operations of the server and they are not mentioned specifically

large cgi-based message forums, auctions, and banner exchanges. In the event a
script affects normal server and/or administrative operations, LocalRocket reserves
the right to disable the account pending client cooperation and resolution.
