<h1 id="irc-account-registration">IRC ACCOUNT REGISTRATION</h1>
<p>Registering for an account on irc is not as easy as most websites, but it&rsquo;s simple, and now, I will show you how. <br /> This guide is written specifically for <em>Freenode</em>, although most other <em>irc</em> servers should have the same process, or a similar one.</p>
<h2 id="step-one">STEP ONE</h2>
<p>Connect to any irc channel you like, with the desired nickname. You have to choose the nickname you want and like, so think carefully before you put in in the nickname field. Make sure it isn&rsquo;t used already by someone else, the servers will inform you of that, if that&rsquo;s the case.</p>
<p>Then, type this command, including the slashes, and everything else :</p>
<p><code>/msg nickserv register your_password your_email_address</code></p>
<p><br /> Replacing <code>your_password</code> and <code>your_email_address_</code> with a <strong>strong</strong> password, and your own email address.</p>
<p>Then, it should ask you to open your email address and follow the instructions in the verification email that they should have sent you.</p>
<p>Once that has been done, you&rsquo;ve now successfully made your account, and whenever you want to sign in with it, you have to type this command :</p>
<p><br /> <code>/msg nickserv identify your_nickname your_password</code></p>
<p>Replacing <code>your_nickname</code> and <code>your_password</code> with your own nickname and password.</p>
<p>Sometimes, you might want to change your nickname. <br /> You cannot change your primary nickname, but you <em>can</em> add a secondary one, provided it has not been already used by someone else. <br /> To change your nickname, simply join a channel with another nickname and sign in, or even better, stay joined on the channel as you already are with your old nickname, and then type this command :</p>
<p><code>/nick new_secondary_nickname_here</code></p>
<p><code></code></p>
<p>Replace <code>new_secondary_nickname_here</code> with the desired secondary nickname.</p>
<p>Sometimes, a channel might not allow you to do that, so, in that case, simply refresh the page, to join the channel again, and then, join with the desired secondary nickname, and log in.</p>
<p>After doing any one of the above methods and then logging in successfully, type this command :</p>
<p><code>/msg nickserv group</code></p>
<p>Your secondary nickname must be used, or else it will go to someone else. <br /> That&rsquo;s probably <a href="https://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userexpirations">after 1-10 weeks of you <em>not</em> using it.</a>, so basically, use it.</p>
<p>ProTip : You can sign in by using the secondary nickname and the same password you already use, assuming the secondary nickname has <em>not</em> expired.</p>
<p>That&rsquo;s all, folks! Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy in irc!</p>
<p>If you ever want to know more about irc, then don&rsquo;t forget to <a href="http://irchelp.org/irchelp/new2irc.html">read this amazing guide, written by members of the irc community ( but not me, though ).</a></p>
