Question about extension?

So do you get like a notification about your extension or is it like you gotta know it yourself thing?
And also for the MPGH home page, does the "hack status" auto updates on the CA hacks or is it there just for show?

When Dave updates the hacks you should automatically get VIP extension. If you dont receive the extension you will have to contact imsohood or one of the Admins.

And yes I believe it auto updates when hacks are out. Im not sure on that though.
