Tell me About setting up an IRC channel

[ExoByte]

Preferably on Darkmyst because I'm somewhat familiar with them. But anywhere works. I want to set up a permanent IRC channel for my site Xbox-Alternative and need to know how to start and what I need ect. Everything from registering it, chan bots, chanserv ect. The whole 9-yards. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand a-go!

First, make sure your name is registered with NickServ. When you are, and you're identified, simply .. join the channel! Type /join #blabla, where you replace blabla with your channel name. The # is obligatory. If you are in the channel, it's unregistered and you're an operator in there, type /msg ChanServ register #blabla password description. Password should be your secret channel owner password, which you don't give to anyone, and description is a short description. It is now registered under your name, and ChanServ will automatically join. You can now /msg ChanServ help and see all the ChanServ options to customize your channel, take special notice of the SET option. Congratulations, you have made your own channel, and it's registered !
