random question, why do you have to "/msg nickserv identify YOURPASSWORDGOESHERE?"
I guess my question is better worded as, what happens if you don't do that.
Our IRC system is tied directly to these here forums. That piece of text lets the forum system know that you are who you say you are, and if yo are premium, or admin it applies the special account features to you at that time. if you don't do that, you won't get the +v tag in IRC if you are premium, and if someone else registers your name first, well, you don't get to use that name in IRC then.
Nexa has already done this step, so I didn't include it in the instructions above, but the first time you use IRC you need to send the command
/msg nickserv register USERNAME PASSWORD
where username is your usenrame for the forums, and the password matches your forum password to log the IRC name in the forum system. That one you only need to do once. the /msg nickserv IDENTIFY command you need to do each time you log in
If you do not do that, youc an still use IRC and whatnot, but you are not garunteed to keep your username.
