You'll have to check with your internet service to get specific instructions. Chances are, the one you have in mind is already taken - so just dream up something unique. IRC is divided into ' channels '. Once you are on a channel, anything you type will appear on the screens of everyone who is on the same channel with you. It's as if you are all in the same room.
All commands start with a slash.
Anything you type without a slash is not a command and gets broadcast to the whole channel. To start a new channel , just think of a name that isn't being used yet, then 'join' that new name channel. Lists all current irc channels, number of users, and topic. Only the specified nickname will see this message. Up to the top of this page.
