Registering a nickname

It is strongly recommended that new users register their nickname with NickServ so that others can not use it. To do this you can use the following command:

/msg NickServ REGISTER <password> <email-address>

If you would like to have your IP Address/Hostname hidden from other users, you can go into the #help channel and ask about a cloak once you are logged into your NickServ account. An IRC staff member should be able to help you out.
