Okay, /dogify (the alias to /doge) was used once, and that was me testing it 😆, so I think I'll remove that

On Halloween, all commands will have a 1% chance of returning a photo of a creepy pumpkin face instead of what you actually wanted 🎃

I'd recommend disabling the reddit plugin for now until I release a hotfix.

By the way, I guess @AbsolutelyNothingBot actually does something. I believe the act of doing nothing counts as something, right??

I’m currently living in a caravan whilst we have work done to our house, which means I won’t have Wi-Fi for the next year. The only solution for this is to pay for a BT Wi-Fi pass (it’s like £40 for a month of Wi-Fi) but I really can’t afford this.

I can’t live off 4G because I pay per month and only get 3GB with the pack I’m on (I’ve checked, there are no better deals in my area).

If you’d like to help me out then I’d be really grateful because I can’t do much more than send messages otherwise, and I don’t wanna go to McDonalds every time I wanna watch something on YouTube...

My PayPal is https://paypal.me/wrxck

Please don’t give more than you can afford, I’m not going to dislike you for not being able to help me out lol, but there’s a lot of you in this channel and if you all gave like £0.50 I’d have enough to last me a few months 😆

Would you like a "Message of the day" feature (something like /motd), and a global one where you can see the latest post from @mattata when sending /gmotd?

— New message.command field, which will put a relevant word as the value (i.e. if the command was /ping, message.command will be "ping"

If the "More frequent" option wins by midnight tonight, I'll push the latest code to GitHub.

I got rid of /ch, because out of over 700 thousand of you, only 78 people have used it since mattata was made.

Time for some statistics to see what you guys are using and what you're not using!

I made a fork of luasec which allows you to easily add a timeout (in seconds) to the initial TCP request made, which solved the issue of the reddit plugin lagging the bot when someone requested something from an invalid subreddit, I'll drop a link soon when I get it up on GitHub, and the reddit command will be back soon!

I've turned off the /reddit plugin until I find the time to fix that annoying bug which would stall the bot.

At the time of writing, there seems to be a majority in favour of the addition of this feature, so it has been added to my list of things to do!

This value doesn't exist all of the time so don't write code that will rely on it, unless you're going to use if message.command ...!

I've been pretty dead the past few days. Deadlines, moving house, concert, days out, it's been very busy - I'm getting stuff together now so I'll be doing some more work over the coming week!

This is really cool, but in order to require these new files you have got to use `dofile('plugins/plugin.mattata')`, rather than `require('plugins.plugin')`
