Would there be a way for a cron to store the information in the datastore table without it breaking anything?

That is not a difficult adjustment, will get that into the deal.

True enough

Truth be told, I never even thought of guests loading that...excellent idea though, that will be in next update as well.

Is the define statement within the config file already, or will it need to be added (At work, no access to the server at the moment)?

and lastly, Thank you for your help, I do appreciate constructive assistance!
