What do I do here?

[Skiz]

I've never been savvy with IRC. What do I do here?

[INFO] This channel requires that you have registered and identified yourself with the network's nickname registration services (e.g. NickServ). Please see the documentation of this network's nickname registration services that should be found in the MOTD (/motd to display it).

:unsure:

[KFlint]

you have to register your nick on the network, you can do this like that :
/msg nickserv register A_PASSWORD_of_your_choice_to_use_later EMAIL

and the next time you login on irc :
/msg nickserv IDENTIFY password

hope this help

[Night0wl]

type /nick [the name you use on the tracker] press enter
type /msg nickserv register [password you choose] [email]

then you are registered

now everytime you go on that server using that name you will be asked to identify yourself or have your name changed.

type /ns identify [password chosen]

i'm a complete irc retard. I still don't get it and likely never will. the only channels that I can join are those that provide a direct *click and connect* hotlink button.

I'm pretty much the same way. Shirley, there is a better option. :ermm:

Its fairly easy. Its just writing out basically what you do when you log into gmail or something. That is all you are doing, logging in.

Example situation:

email: [email protected]
password: poopypants

You would type:

/nickserv register poopypants [email protected]

That is telling the system or "nickserv" to receive your request to "register" and then you are giving the system a password and an email. After you register, all you have to do when you want to sign in, just as you would with any email client online, is give the password and email, so you would type:

/nickserv poopypants [email protected]

to sign in.

Its fairly simple, as this formula applies to pretty much every IRC server out there if it requires you to register.

I had the same problem but after a few times it is really easy

Just don't forget the password you choose, since you will need server staff to reset it and that can take anywhere from 5 minutes to days depending whether they are around.

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

IRC is very useful to learn. I set up a complex system which automatically identifies me with nickserv, and then uses timers to invite/join about 10 different password protected channels. I don't even have to press anything :D

[optimus_prime]

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 :D) 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 :D

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

Your just as bad as me skizo....took me a while to even jump in our own iRC channel. I have everything people have showed me saved on a .txt file for future reference. Now i just copy paste as needed

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. :mellow:
