External Developers
Because a lot of the available plugins are created by external developers, these plugins sometimes share part of a name. For example, we have quite a lot of plugins by MDA, so you will come across plugins that have "MDA" somewhere in their name.
Our own plugins carry the name "MOD" in their description.
