How to IRC 1. Google IRC client and download one of them....I like mIRC so I will be demonstrating how to with that one, but you should be able to figure everything out on another client from these instructions. 2.Download IRC client and open it mIRC gives you a 30 free trial, and after that you can still use it you just have to wait like 15 sec. 3. Fill in fake info DO NOT USE YOUR REAL NAME OR PERSONAL E-MAIL 4. Use the options to add the AnonNet server info so you go to the right place Put anything you like in the description Put irc.anonnet.org as the server and 6667 in ports 5. Press connect, and Ignore-Get rid of the pop up window. Now you have this You will probably want to register your nick so you can get a Vhost. A Vhost is a nice way to hide you IP address, and personalize your experience to register your nick you will need to type /msg nickserv register password email where the word password is you will put the password that you want to protect your nick where email is you will put the email address that you entered earlier eg, /msg nickserv register j3489dfk439s#843 fake@email.com The next time you login you will need that password to identify yourself, you do that by entering /ns identify password Now that you have done that, here is how you request a Vhost /msg hostserv request nothing.to.see.here instead of nothing to see here, you can put pretty much anything you want frosted@butts.com...ect. It may take a few minutes for the Vhost to be granted, but after it is it will automatically replace your IP address with your message every time you join or leave a channel. To join a channel you type /join #enterchannelnamehere I suggest /join #whyweprotest /join #help to start with... Help is VERY noob friendly, and whyweprotest is very active. Caution: IRC tends to be more dome like then the forums, try not to get butt hurt Other Useful commands /leave (to leave a channel) /ingnore (to avoid trolls, or people you don't like) /me (to make a statement about yourself) for example /me is being helpful and creating a IRC how to (would look like) Nightfire is being helpful and creating a IRC how to Other things you should know: You will see symbols by certain nicks... these symbols mean different things. Here are the important ones. ~nick means that this person owns that channel @nick means that that person is a Channel Operator or OP (mod of irc) enjoy
Re: How to IRC I would updated the OP to tell people to use SSL port 6697 instead of 6667. Please just type in port 6697 Go find the checkbox in your IRC client for use SSL (You can also you Pidgin Portable for IRC client if you don't want to install mIRC or chatzilla plugin, though a real client like mIRC is the best idea)
Is WWP still on AnonNet? Couldn't find the server I needed according to these directions... and it's also my first time. Be gentle.
