[edit] Registering your nick
Registering your IRC nickname on the server is very easy and fast. It provides many advantages, such as preventing others from using your nickname when you aren't connected to the IRC server. To register your nickname, type /msg NickServ register <your IRC nickname password here> <your email address>. Make sure that there are absolutely no trailing spaces before the slash - it would be the safest to type this command in your client's status window to prevent it from accidentally being sent into the current IRC channel.
After registering your nick, you can type /msg NickServ set enforce on to prevent others from using your nickname when you aren't connected to the IRC server.
