====== How to Register Your Channel ======

X3 is the channel service bot we use on AfterNET. A channel service is a special computer generated user called a bot, which joins your channel and stays in it all the time. It recognizes you, and will give out ops and generally help you manage the channel.

To register a channel with X3, you must be logged into AuthServ first. If you are not logged in, do:

  /msg authserv auth username password

(If you don't already have an account, you can create one [[https://www.afternet.org/help/irc/regchan?do=register|here]].)

Once you are logged in, ask X3 to register your channel using the REGISTER command:

  /msg X3 register #mychannel

All channels on IRC begin with # (number/hash).

Type '/msg X3 help' for more help using X3 to manage your channel.

If you get stuck, or have questions, please see a staff member in #help or #afternet.
