Documentation conventions

Throughout this wiki, you will see lots of help for using commands, for example: /msg memoserv del [channel] {num | list | ALL}. If you do not understand what signifcance the underlining, square and curly brackets is, you are advised to read the Documentation convension page.

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".
