The original script keeps track of every time a person changes a nickname, and stores them in a hash table. It keeps uses $address($nick,3) to keep track of which set of nicknames have been used by any given person. The point of the thread was finding an efficient way of going through the listed nicknames, and delete the ones that I have no use for, and prevent them from being added any more, so as not to fill my hash table with useless data, preventing it from remebering the nicks I want it to remember.
