 * Seconded. There’s even error suppression on the call because the dev was aware
   it was deprecated.
 * Fix is to swap line 58 of `alpinebot-display.php` for the following, almost identical
   code:
 * `$name = preg_replace('/[:cntrl:](http://codex.wordpress.org/:cntrl:)/', '', 
   $name ); // remove ASCII's control characters`
 * I hate to fork the plugin, though. Hopefully we’ll see a response from the dev.

 * This plugin is no longer maintained. I’ve reached out to the dev and hope to 
   gain ownership to at least keep up with bugs.
