+SlyVote stores user configuration files, which stores the user's last-read
+message numbers in the message areas, which are used when the user is viwing
+poll results. Even though Synchronet can keep track of the user's last-read
+message numbers, they are stored separately by SlyVote so that they don't
+interfere with the user's normal message reading. The SlyVote user
+configuration files are stored in sbbs/data/user, with the filenames in the
+format <user number>.SlyVote.cfg. The user number is 0-padded up to 4 digits.
+For example, user 1 would be 0001.SlyVote.cfg.

SlyVote's look and feel was initially based on DCT Vote, a voting booth door
which was available in the 1990s.
