What do I do here?

irc is really indispensable tool and little time invested into it will pay back.
it's relatively simple to start as one just have to grasp concept of channels, user modes and private messages.

for example authentication through /msg is just a private message to nickserv like it would be to any other user. nickserv ain't part of irc protocol, nor it's an ordinary user, it's a bot (aka service) with elevated privileges (something like an admin ) set up by the network (these days often network = 1 torrent server) to implement authentication. so the syntax of the message you send to it can be different on different networks. other common services are chanserv and memoserv. many channels use their own bots for their own purposes as nobody likes to sit on the channel 24/7.

mirc is really superior to it's competition, there is great number of scripts that may ease your work, or you can write your own. for example once you registered to a nickserv service, you can just add to your alias section

login { msg nickserv identify YOURPASSWORD }

and next time you're asked for password just type /login

or you can add to your remote section something like

on 1:notice:*type /msg NickServ IDENTIFY password*:*: { 
  if ($nick == nickserv) { 
     if ($network == revolutiontt) msg nickserv identify YOURREVTTPASSWORD 
  }
}

and it will auto-identify you when you receive notice containing text "type /msg NickServ IDENTIFY password" from user with nick "nickserv" on network revolutiontt (and that happens when you use registered nickname). so with mirc scripts your options are unlimited

also you can download full blown mirc scripts that have all bells and whistles in comfortable graphic menus...

I don't use mirc. I have found chatzilla a bit easier.

I use it too, IRC Noob I am....
But I find the whole IRC thing fugly and avoid it whenever possible. I only really use it if I have trouble with an acct...and I'm happy that way.

Same. I usually just post any issues in the tracker's forum. IRC is just a pain. Again, surely some other easy to use program could replace it.

There are several other chat programs which are easy to use. Why the heck doesn't someone use them? Trackers, stop being sheep and move on to a better program.
