The point of IRC is to chat, and as mentioned before, you may join in public discussions on channels or talk privately to one person at a time. We will show you how to do both here.
We previously learned how to find channels using the /list command. Here will talk about how to join those channels and talk on them.
There can be many thousands of channels on the largest networks, each with anywhere from one to hundreds of people. Each channel is controlled by channel operators or “ops” who have absolute authority over their channels. We will discuss more about that later. You should always observe basic netiquette when visiting other people’s channels.
- /JOIN #channelname
- Changes your current channel to the channel specified. If the channel does not exist already, it will be created and you will be in charge of the new channel and be a channel operator or “op” – more on that later.
/JOIN #spontanq4ctf
