| nickfork-#ubuntu-offtopic | a silly little game for offtopic channels ONLY. The way it works is you pick out a random nick from the /names list (works best if they're idle), have a bunch of people switch to something similar (scrambles, reverse, 1337speak), and see how long it takes for the real person to catch on. Have fun! | tonyyarusso Added on: 2008-02-20 09:55:16 Last edited by rww Last modified: 2011-04-06 06:16:22 Requested 14 times |

| identify | <reply> You can identify to NickServ automatically when connecting to freenode. See https://freenode.net…nswer/sasl for more information. When identifying manually, do NOT send the command from a channel's tab, as a typo will give away your password. If that happens, identify and then type « /msg NickServ set password <new-password> » in the server tab as soon as possible. | LjL Added on: 2008-02-09 03:30:18 Last edited by dax Last modified: 2018-03-29 19:56:37 Requested 173 times |
