This was made specifically for Although it is possible that it works with other servers, we can not guarantee.

Registering your nick name on the irc servers (such as is different from creating an account with Mibbit (using the "Login / Create an account" fields up the top of the page).

Registering your Nickname

  1. Choose a user name or nick. This user name should consist only of the letters from A-Z, the ciphers from 0-9 (but not as first character) and certain symbols such as "_" and "-" ("\" breakes some mails). It may have a maximum of 16 characters. Please note that some nicknames are used internally and cannot be used. Also, please stay family friendly with your nicknames
  2. Change your user name to the user name you have chosen. Suppose you chose the nick "StupidName" for example. Type the following in the input line:
    /nick StupidName
  3. Register your nick or user name. Type the following command and replace your_password with a password that will be easy to remember and use a working email address.
    /ns register yourPassword yourEmailAccountName@yourMailProvider
    (no nick here, otherwise you'll get "use a more obscure password" or similar)
  4. Get the confirmation code from your email inbox. Type the following command and replace confirmation_code with the code sent to you in the email (NEVER replace the word "nickserv" in /msg nickserv ... with your nick). It has the template shown below
    /ns confirm confirmation_code
    /ns set hide email on
  6. Identify with NickServ. Each time you connect, you should sign in, or "identify" yourself, using the following command:
    /ns identify your_password ( or /identify your_password on some servers )
  7. Auto connect with mibbit: For your convience, if you are using the fully featured (main client) and created a Mibbit account and are logged in, you can add that nick and password to the "My Account" list to be auto-identified, see Autoidentify. Most clients have their own way of setting up an auto-connect also.

( /ns is an alias for /msg nickserv on the Mibbit network and on most IRC clients )

If you get on the server (after registering) and someone else has taken your name: type in /ns GHOST <username> <password> to kick the user from your nickname. Then type /nick <username> to change your nick back!

You can also do '/ns help' or '/ns help' for extensive help (some servers also use /nickserv). See also Anope's help documenation.
