NickServ:Short for "Nickname Service," NickServ maintains user account information. Different IRC networks have different features set up for NickServ, but on Global Gamers, NickServ helps ChanServ determine who is supposed to have access to a channel. You have a NickServ account name and password, and once you log in to NickServ, you are recognized by ChanServ in every channel you have access. NickServ also performs many other important tasks, such as maintaining fakehosts for all user accounts, automatically setting a fakehost for you once you log in, making ChanServ invite you to certain channels when you log in, and similar user-oriented functions. Please note that your NickServ password is a very powerful piece of information. Do not share your password with anyone. No one on Global Gamers staff will ever ask you for your NickServ password.
