I very much doubt it. Or it would be very hard to do it in a proper way anyways.

Simple reason realy: a script runs in the exact same environment which you're trying to change with your settings. So that is asking for trouble and/or not-working.

If you want to do this with some 3rd party tool/addon/script you need to do it outside of the Plus! sandbox, _before_ Plus! gets loaded.

The stats say otherwise.

But even so, let's say it is used less now than it was back then.

The custom sounds are now using multiple servers and account for a LOT of traffic. So assuming (well, it is almost a logic fact) that the roaming settings will be used far more and way more frequent (upon each sign in) than custom sounds, it actually contradicts what you just meant/said... And it means that there need to be a lot of servers, way more than for the custom sounds, just like Menthix explained.

It is doable, and has been suggested/requested before, but as Menthix and others explained: it would generate a hell of a lot of traffic. Which needs to be taken in serious considerarion, just as many other (security) aspects. It isn't easy at all, shouldn't be taken for granted, and it might not be 'worth the money' so to speak.
