Documentation conventions

Registering your nickname
To register a nickname on AfterX, you must be prepared to specify a valid and working email address. AfterX will not sell your email address to spammers. There are several technical reasons for providing a valid email address.
The general nickname registration command is: /msg nickserv register <password> <email address>
For example, if you wish to register the nickname Pink_Panther with the password Clouseau, you would first change your nickname by typing: /nick Pink Panther
Your IRC client may display a message similar to: * Your nick is now Pink_Panther
Once you are chatting as the nickname you want to register, you then can issue the register command to NickServ as described above. In this example, a pretend email address called pinkpanther@moviefans.com will be used. To register the Pink_Panther nickname, you would type: /msg nickserv register Clouseau pinkpanther@moviefans.com
You may see NickServ respond to your register command with the message "Nickname <some nickname> is already registered".
