Thanks to Jesse for taking action!

Thanks to Jesse for taking down the offending scripts!

All but one remain so for me the battle has been won.  The author has the right to counter the take-down notice.  He would have to prove that he did not violate the license, which will be difficult since I have screenshots and a diff showing otherwise.

Development on the Facebook Autopoke will continue this week.  I'm hoping to release version 4.1 that will:
  • Correct the reload issue
  • Constantly monitor Facebook for pokes and automatically re-poke them
  • Allow users to take their poke wars with them
  • Easier integration with Chrome (Please note "easier".  I'm still not developing for Chrome.  Just making it easier for others if you want to modify my script)
  • Fix security problems
To be clear: do not be afraid to modify my code.  The problem I had with Tony White was that he just copied the code and called it his own.  Improvements upon my code are HIGHLY ENCOURAGED and do not require permission.  Attribution is always appreciated.  You should note that I still give props to the original creator of the autopoke script, even though my implementation no longer looks anything like his.  (He doesn't work on his poke script anymore.)
