Step 3. Getting comfortable.
There are several basic commands that can help you customize your IRC experience:
-
/nick nickname Where nickname can be any name you'd like to go by (Cannot contain spaces or special characters).
-
/msg nickserv register password email You can register your nickname to prevent it from being used by someone other than yourself. Once you have registered, you will recieve an email asking you to verify your account (Make sure to use a valid email address).
