This article is about IRC in general. See Partyvan IRC for our IRC network.

Internet Relay Chat, or IRC, is basically what ED calls it: multiplayer Notepad. To win in IRC, you go and talk, and be popular, and have friends, and get ops. Now for most things in life, you can just go read Wikipedia, but IRC is confusing as fuck, so let me break it down for the new /i/nsurgents to learn.

Protip: Preapare to eneter an asshole bigger than any other. There is no one and I repeat for emphasis, NO ONE even remotley helpful on IRC. Don't enter any commands if you don't know what they do, and only stick to memes and stuff that you KNOW, otherwise you'll find the B& hammer up your ass through no fault of your own. The partyvan Irc is in really shitty shape right now, going in there without a hand full of chemo is NOT recommended. Oper-abuse is a local sport, and being a fucktard is the main pastime.

[edit] Protips

  • This one is the same, but doesn't do the anoying EFnet connect automaticly, and does partyvan and raidchan instead.

[edit] Insurgent SysReset, Aka m/i/RC

If anyone has trouble with it, talk to Kakama about it. I'll help you. BTW, there are really fun commands:

  • /nigra and /belair (and slower versions in case of flood control /nigraS and /BelairS) do a colored nigra scroll and Bel-Air the channel, respectively.

DON'T DO THIS IN THE MAIN CHANNEL! Type /j #makeupsomechannelname to create an empty channel to try things. To stop or to play other text files at various speeds, type /play to bring up a popup with stuff.

  • /tor will make mIRC go through Tor if you have it running. /detor turns it off. Note that you must do this before connecting to the server; if you use /tor and are connected to the server, disconnect and reconnect by pressing the lightning bolt in the top left corner twice. Protip: Some servers (EFnet, etc) block Tor connections.

[edit] FOR COMPLETE N00BS TO IRC

  • Type '/server irc.pirated.ws' or use the connect to connect to a new IRC server (use '/server -m irc.pirated.ws' to connect in a new IRC window without disconnecting from the current server. There are several large networks like EFnet (irc.efnet.net) and Rizon(irc.rizon.net, aka animu central). Of other note are private servers irc.pirated.ws, irc.7chan.org, and irc.lulzhost.net. Some places, like Rizon or Raidchan, or really any place except stone-age-EFnet, has a NickServ. Register with NickServ (type '/msg nickserv register passwordhere realemailhere') and then '/msg nickserv identify password' to be identified. Some places, like #4chan on Rizon, require you to be registered with NickServ to join.
  • Type '/j #channel' or '/join #channel' (it's the same) to join a channel. To part, just close it with the red X, or type /part #channel somemessage if you want to be fancy. Default quit message is kthxbai.
  • '/whois nick' and '/whowas nick' are useful things, at least to make sure it's the same person and not a nick thief (it happens on EFnet) or a really pissy person, in which case you and a group of /i/nsurgents should use Longcat Flooder or pingflood on the IP you get to knock them off IRC (you can then steal their nick for the lulz).
  • To change nick, type '/nick newnickhere'. Some places (like EFnet) have limits on how long the nick can be, 9 characters; others let you do like 18. Seriously, don't pick a meme nick. We got like 4 tacgnols, 2 rcmonglers, and Bob Ross knows how many longcats. Be original for once, ok?
  • To send a private message, use '/msg nick message here blah blah dongs'. In m/i/rc private messages appear in a little new window, so look at the bar on the bottom of the screen to see if there is a new message from someone.

[edit] People in IRC:

  • Channel founders, +q, have a ~ by their name, are the creators of the IRC channel. They can change all channel settings, modes, more.
  • Super-ops, aka +a or admins, have a & by their name , have the same powers as ops (and more?), and cannot be kicked by normal ops.
  • Ops, aka +o, have an @ by their name. They can ban, kick, add and remove ops, change the topic, and make your life hell. We run the channel. Old timers get ops.
  • Half ops, aka hops or +h, they have a % by their name. They can ban and kick, add and remove voice, change the topic and set a few modes.
  • Voiced, or +v, have a +. They are just regular users who we trust for the most part and have been there a while. Also, if the channel is set +m (moderated, basically mute) they and the +o, +h and +v people can talk, while regular users can't.

A user without a ~, &, @, %, or + is just a regular person. They may feel as clueless as you. Just use IRC, and you will learn. Weeaboos, check out irc.rizon.net, gamers, irc.gamesurge.net, and really just join random channels to see what's going on. On efnet, basically any word has a channel for it, so explore and lurk.

Note about Lurking: TALK AT LEAST ONCE OR SOMETHING, LURKING DOES NOT MEAN NEVER TALK IN THE IRC WORLD. We are really getting sick of people joining and watching, at least let us know who you are so we don't kick you or something. So, lurk, but talk too. However, a hello will suffice. The IRC world is extremely intolerant of newfags.

[edit] Tips for more experienced users

[edit] Secure noticing

To send a message to everyone who has voice, half-ops, ops, super-ops, or channel ownership, type this:

/notice ~&@%+#channel message

Use this to share sensitive information without spais finding out. Note that you must have ops or higher in a channel to do this (I think).

[edit] Services

There are IRC services on most servers, save for stone-age EFnet. Read:

[edit] NickServ

Use NickServ to keep others from using your nick and to keep ops/voice/etc. on channels.

  • /msg nickserv register password email to register your nick;
  • /msg nickserv identify password
  • /msg nickserv ghost nick password to get someone off your nick if you have registered and they are using it. Change into the nick fast, and id with nickserv to prevent it from being taken.
  • /msg nickserv help for other commands.

[edit] ChanServ

With a registered and identified nick in an unregistered channel where you are an op:

/msg ChanServ register #channelname password brief description.

You can then give auto-ops/voice/etc. to people by doing this :

/msg ChanServ xop #channelname add nick

Where "xop" is either:

  • "vop" for auto-voice
  • "hop" for auto-halfops
  • "aop" for auto-ops
  • "sop" for auto-superops

The user being added to the list will not work if the user has not registered with NickServ. You can also change "add" to "del" to delete someone from your list.
