Ah, didn't see the upcoming desktop client in thread 236. That will help immensely. :)
Ah, yeah, I see the other oq.excited_cheer reference. Took a quick off-the-cuff look earlier.
Still, it's not particularly useful in the current incarnation. It will hail with no other indication as to what's going on, without oQueue being open, etc.
I can understand, given the mesh network, the importance of version control. That said, might I recommend a popup or chat message when an update is required? [Edit: Removed automatic disabling - you do already do this!)
In terms of staying up to date, that would obviously be much easier if oQueue was back on Curse. Given that it doesn't seem likely, it might be worth making it easier to upgrade - for example, DBM puts the URL right in the new version popup. Alternatively, I wonder if there would be interest in some sort of update client for paid donators?

Hailing those around you
I've noticed for some time a /hail emote spamming, and based on a mmo-champion forum post, learned that oQueue was the suspected culprit.Sure enough, in oqueue.lua, there's a small block in oqueue.lua:
if oq.is_da_king(name) and ((_hailtiny == nil) or ((now - _hailtiny) > HAILTOTHEKINGBABY)) then
-- hail to the king, baby
_hailtiny = now ;
oq.excited_cheer() ;
Can we please get a UI flag for this in setup? I don't mind being friendly, but it makes certain things tricky, especially for stealthers trying to escape coiners.
