AuthServ is a special “bot” which manages user accounts for AfterNET. 

Everyone who uses AfterNET regularly should create an account. Accounts let you:

	*  hide your hostname, set preferences</description>

/JOIN

Opening a channel on IRC is quick and easy. All you have to do is use the JOIN command. If you choose a channel name that noone is in, your channel will be created and you will be the channel operator (the person who controls the channel). But if you pick a channel that people are already in, you will just join that channel as a visitor. The syntax you must use to join a channel is the following:</description>

Despite the many popular clients which have added tons of their own commands, this page will only focus on the basic IRC commands (not all of them). We hope that you will be able to use this information to improve your knowledge of Internet Relay Chat.</description>

The Nuts and Bolts

Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is a protocol that was invented by Jarkko Okarinen. There are two essential parts to the protocol, the server and the client. The client (point a) connects to and parses information from the server (point z) over the Internet via</description>

            <description>Extended Bans

AfterNET supports “Extended bans” which allow extra features besides blocking on nick, username, and host. Extended bans are identified by a &#039;~&#039; before them. Example: &#039;~a:rubin&#039; would ban the user whose account name is rubin.

Most can accept globs (* wildcard matching) as well.</description>

            <description>Getting Started with IRC

Introduction

This guide will help you get started with using IRC, if you are new.

What IRC is, and how it works:

Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is seperated into channels and networks. An IRC network is a group of IRC servers that have agreed to link together, to share the same set of users and channels. There are many (1000+) different</description>

One of the first skills new people on IRC learn, no matter if they are learning how to ignore an abusive person, add bans to a channel, or configure auto-op scripts is how to create and understand hostmasks.

Introduction

Some people come on IRC to be disruptive. They may troll or insult you, they may spam messages to you in a channel or pm&#039;s, and sometimes they may try to flood a channel that you&#039;re in. Luckily, IRC comes with a tool to rescue you from these situations by actually preventing that user&#039;s text from appearing on your screen. This can be achieved by using the ignore command. If people are flooding channels with useless text or they are otherwise harassing y…</description>

            <description>How to list channels

Introduction to /LIST

IRC has a directory of channels (rooms to chat in) built right in.  The command to access this directory is called /LIST.  

You can type /list (or sometimes /quote list) in to your IRC software as you normally talk.  By default, this will show you any channels with chat in them in the last 20 minutes.</description>
