If you do not want others to use your nickname, you'll want to register it, though it is optional. To do this, type in the following:
<pre>
/nickserv register [PASSWORD] [EMAIL ADDRESS]
</pre>
"nickserv" is the name of the server to do with nicknames<br><br>
"register" is the function you are doing<br><br>
"[PASSWORD]" is the password you want to use to identify your nickname in the future, so make sure you can remember it<br><br>
"[EMAIL ADDRESS]" is where your e-mail address goes, make sure it's real because you need to receive an e-mail for the registration to work<br>
Do not include the brackets or it won't work.<br>
 
Okay, type all that into the message box and hit enter. You'll receive an e-mail almost instantly. Open it and you'll see some text like this:<br>

Copy and paste the command into the message box and press enter. It should then say:<br>
 
[[Image:Chatroom5.jpg]]<br>
 
Success! Your chosen IRC nickname has been registered.
<br>
Next, you'll need to know how to ''identify'' yourself. Seeing as you just registered, you're automatically identified. However if you close the window and re-open it, you won't be identified. It's really simple. Just type the following into the message box and hit enter:
<pre>
/nickserv identify [PASSWORD]
</pre>
Simply replace "[PASSWORD]" with the password you chose whilst registering. The following should appear:<br>

Well done, you now know how to identify yourself to the IRC server and other users!<br>

CURRENTLY NOT WORKING

irc://irc.swiftirc.net/pilkipedia is where some of us are hangin' about and talking in real-time with each other, using a lovely bit of technology called IRC (Internet Relay Chat).

Choosing A Client

If you want to jump straight in, click the link above that says "Start Chatting", which will open up a chat window right in your browser and you'll be able to get into the channel immediately. If the page says it's having trouble connecting, it's because of the client being stressed an' that due to lots of pilki fans gettin' on there.

If you don't want it open in your browser, there are a few ways of getting on. The first step is downloading a client.

Mibbit

A very simple and GUI way to enter and use the chat is Mibbit.

  1. Just click this link.
  2. Then, it'll ask you for your nickname. Type it in the box above, then press connect.
  3. You're in. Enjoy!

ChatZilla

ChatZilla is a chat client for Mozilla Firefox which makes it very easy to connect to the Pilkipedia channel.

Install ChatZilla plugin for Mozilla Firefox now

Type in the following: 

/server irc.swiftirc.net


Once you connect to SwiftIRC, type in the following: 

/join #pilkipedia


You should now be in the chatroom, and it should look like this:


Right-click on the #pilkipedia tab and press:


Next, press ChatZilla > Preferences and press irc.swiftirc.net:


Enter your desired nickname and press "OK". To identify yourself, enter the following command: 

/nickserv identify [PASSWORD]

Just replace "[PASSWORD]" with your password. And that's ChatZilla! After you've done all that, you can save time by entering the following into the address bar: 

irc://sixlabrats.com/pilkipedia

SearchIRC

Another simple way into getting into the chat room is via SearchIRC. Requirements for this method include a web browser and Java. Simply click here. Then enter your nickname in the box above. Press "Connect" and you're in. Enjoy!

mIRC

This method is complicated, but allows for more commands, colour-schemes and it looks the best.

Requirements for this method include the mIRC installation file and the No Name Script installation file
First, install mIRC. The default installation settings (for both mIRC and NNS) are fine. Do not open mIRC yet! Next, install NNS to the same directory as mIRC. Below is an example:




Once you've got them both installed to the same directory, open No Name Script. This should appear:


Press "Ok".


Once you click the + button, a list of servers will appear. Click on one, press "T" on your keyboard and navigate UP to "SwiftIRC" and press "Ok".
In the "Nickname" box, enter the nickname you would like to use in the IRC channel. Then enter your password in the "Password" field.
Next:



Then just hit the big "Ok" in the bottom-left corner. Press File > Connect.


Don't enter your real full name or e-mail address


Then press "OK".
Next, click "Favorites" and click "Add to Favorites".


Press "OK".

Hold "Alt" and press "J".


Excellent! Now, click File > Connect. You should be automatically taken to #pilkipedia.

General Commands

/nickserv register [PASSWORD] [E-MAIL ADDRESS] (registers your nickname)

/nickserv identify [PASSWORD] (identifies you to the server, so no one else can use your nickname)

/nick [DESIRED NICKNAME] (changes your nickname to whatever you replace "[DESIRED NICKNAME]" with.

/quit [MESSAGE] (disconnects you from the server and whatever you replace "[MESSAGE]" with is displayed to everyone in the channel)

/msg [RECIPIENT] [MESSAGE] (sends the recipient a private message)


Chatroom Guidelines

The Pilkipedia Chatroom has a few simple guidelines. Stick with them and all will be well; break them and you're out.

1. No illegal or explicit links.
2. No explicit chat.
3. Treat the other members with respect.
