on $*:text:/^!((about)?poke)?\s?(\S+)/iS:#:{
if (!$hget(poke,$nick)) {
.hinc -mz poke $nick 3
if ($regml(1) == poke && $regml(2) ison #) { describe # pokes $regml(2) }
elseif ($regml(1) == aboutpoke) {
.notice $nick This script was made by Matt.
.notice $nick IRC vHost, Matt@Hiding.My.Identity.From.You.Stalkers
.notice $nick Do not reproduce without my explicit permission.
