Howto register a nick

Post#1 by Rava » 22 Sep 2021, 07:16

I wanted to register my IRC nick since the chat I wanted to go to (Linux ARM forum) via browser IRC only allows registered nicks, but the site where you can register… guess what?
It tells you to go to its chat (unregistered) and then gives the IRC commands you should use to register your nick, to set the password and an email address for recovering the nick if you forgot the password.

But… it refuses to let you into the chat when you not already have a registered nick. LOL, but how to register when you must do it via IRC, and you cannot get into the IRC without being already registered, catch-22.

It was this site:
https://web.libera.chat/

And this is the site I need to register my nick at:
https://talkingirc.net/nickserv.html

The talkingirc.net is the one described above, with the catch-22. The above URL is the one describing how you should do it. LOL.

Just send them an email, lets see what they reply to their created catch-22 dilemma.
Cheers!
