Chatters with Registered Nicks

[angelita26]

If you chat with us the #wcwu chatroom and you have a registered nickname, please be sure to log in before October 2nd and use the identify command with your password. Freenode is removing all expired nicknames (those that haven't been identified in 120 days or more) on October 2nd. Their blog announcement about it is here.

If you have no idea what I'm talking about, that's okay - you probably don't have a registered nickname. Primarily, we register nicknames to ensure that our preferred nick is available to us at all times. Also, it allows us to have 'ops' (operators, who can kick or ban trolls, rude people, etc). The funny thing is that 10 years ago, that was more important the other way around - we don't get much in the way of trolls at #wcwu. :)

Hmmmm. I wonder if once upon a time I did register my name, because every time I try and use it, it says it's already registered... but I don't remember doing it. So I just put in variations.

I miss chat. :(

You can try to recover your password by typing /msg nickserv help sendpass and then following the directions. Or you can grab it again after it gets purged on Oct 2nd ;)

You should come hang with us - We've been doing rewatches on Monday nights and hanging out some other random evenings.

I think I have thunderbird set up to use the pass when logging in, so I should be good.

I just wish there were more people around when I am awake, lol

LOL! I understand. I wish my work days weren't so weirdly timed or I would come in and hang out with you!
