Once you are on the server you will most likely be known as Guestxxxx, so your first
step is to change your nickname:
You may get notification that the nickname is owned by someone else and that you must
identify which means you'll need to find a new nickname for yourself. You can look if
a nickname is registered by typing:
If The nickname is registered it will tell you and you will need to find one that is not
currently registered. On busy servers you can usually add numbers at the end of your
name to find something that is free. Take Joe which is a common name, if you find that
there is a joe1 and a joe2 then you might try joe with your age, or last name. Some
combination will work for you and you'll be able to get onto the server. Of course
nicknames don't have to be your name they can literally be anything that you want like
Host, Moderator, Salesman, SpiderMan, Ghost or Firstname_Lastname.
Now that you have selected a nickname you would like to own type the following
information to register it:
You choose your own password and put your real email in the email field since it
is a determining factor when trying to retrieve your password in case you lose it.
Write your password down in order not to forget it and make your password something hard
to guess using numbers and letters or various characters here are some
examples: myp@22 or mypass987
Now you should set the following setting on your nickname:
You can see all the different settings by typing /ns help set.
When NickServ asks you to identify to your nickname use /ns identify

register the channel using:
Once again substitute the password with your own password and the channel description
is a few words describing the type of channel it is. Now that your channel is
registered you should add the following settings:
You're all set from this point on if you need to make modifications to your channel you
will need to identify as the channel founder using:
Keep in mind never to give your passwords to anyone, make your passwords hard to guess,
and always use a valid email address in your registration. All services have help files associated with them for example /cs help or /cs help set same thing with NickServ /ns help and /ns help set.
