The IRC Nickserv Commands
Nickserv is what controls any commands that deal with your nick while on IRC. Be sure to REGISTER your nick as soon as you start using IRC. It's the first command listed on this page for easy reference.
To use the commands, simply type them into the text box of the channel.
(listed in alphabetical order)

register - /msg nickserv register password email - Registers your nick to the server. DO THIS RIGHT WHEN YOU JOIN IRC, BEFORE YOU USE ANY OTHER COMMANDS! This command will register the nick you are currently using as yours. Do not give out your password to anyone. This includes any OPs. If you decide to give out your password, be 100% SURE you trust this person.

drop - /msg nickserv drop nick - Drops a nick you have registered or is in your group. You must be currently identified as the owner of the nick before the drop command will work. A nick will drop, from the server, on it's own if not used for 21 days.

group - /msg nickserv group nick password - Groups a nick to your registered nick. This command can only be used with a registered nick.
