So, how does IRC work anyway?
From time to time, I download and install the client and, foolishly I'm sure, expect the program to connect me with people forthwith.
Unfortunatly, that's never the case. Instead, I'm confronted with requests for passwords, servers, and many many "invalid so-and-so" messages. This has happened so often, that I concider IRC something that perhaps I'm just ment to be without.
Yet I'm seemingly also a glutton for punishment. I saw that there is an FA IRC and thought I'd give it a try. But, of course, the IRC bias against me (or my ignorance of the program) thwarts me.
Now, I concider myself fairly tech savvy, but what in the heck does it want me to do? I downloaded the client a half-hour ago and tried to log onto the FA IRC. Everything seemed to go ok, until it told me that I must have a "registered nick to join that channel".
I'd rather like being able to chat with some of you crazy folks in a mass IM session (such things generally being rather amusing) but I might need some walkthroughs of this crassy program before I can do so.
D.O.P.R

D.O.P.R
/server [irc.furnet.org or us.irc.furnet.org]
/register [username] [password] [email]
/join #[name of channel, i.e. "furaffinity"]
For the times you want to log on after you've registered:
/server [whichever one you registered on]
/identify [password]
etc.
I think that will do it. If it doesn't:
/msg nickserv help
D.O.P.R
/nickserv register [username] [password] [email]
That is to register your nickname so that someone else can't impersonate you. Not all channel requires it but #furaffinity does (notice the # in front).
