Basic Services Info
The FreeThinker IRC Network
provides its users with services for registering nicknames, sending
memos, and channel registration, virtual hosts customization & Bot
service system. The FreeThinker IRC Network provides the software,
hardware, and staff to maintain these services. Currently, these are
our own customized services.
The two main services which FreeThinker provides are ChanServ and NickServ. ChanServ handles the creation and administration of channels and NickServ allows you to register and administrate your username(s). MemoServ is also available to allow users to send memos to each other.
Hostserv and Botserv are extra services that we also provide for you. Hostserv will allow you to have your own choosen Vhost name for your ip and Botserv will provide you a Bot for your channels.
This is a short guide to aid you in the use of services. If you need additional help, feel free to ask our ops in #help or to any network administrator. However, we do ask that you try to use the commands below (and familiarise yourself with them) to find the answers to your questions.
This guide comes in handy for a couple of reasons:
If you are in need of help and no one is around to help you at that time, you'll have a resource at hand to assist you in your time of need.
The number of questions you have will decrease as you learn the help commands and how to use them.
To communicate to services, you can use the /msg command or simply type the service name.
