Help:Chat

Chat Now

The chatroom is meant to be a safe place to hang out and enjoy yourself while chatting about anything. When you first enter, you'll automatically join the mariowiki channel.

You are now ready to chat! You have some customization options:
 * Text colors. Left-click on a color on the right to make it your text color, right-click on another color to make it your background color.
 * Smilies. We have several smilies, including Mario-themed smilies. See the table below for a list of them all and the code to input to have them appear in your messages.
 * Private chatting. Double-click on a user's name in the right-hand side to talk to him or her alone. It will appear in a separate tab on the bottom row.

Here are a few of the many commands you can use in the chat:
 * /j #[roomname] – open another tab on the top row to show another room.
 * /nick [nickname] – another way of changing your name
 * /query [username] – a fancy way of opening a private-message tab.
 * /me [blah blah] – a fancy way of referring to yourself (/me goes away results in [Username] goes away in a purple-colored font)
 * /msg NickServ OR /ns +
 * REGISTER [password] [email] – how to make sure no one can impersonate you. Everytime you change your nick, you must identify yourself &uarr;
 * identify [password] – if you registered your name, this is how you enter your password
 * SET password [new password] – if you want to change your password, this is how you do it. You must identify yourself first.
 * KILL [nickname] [password] – if you fail to enter your name within the time limit, this is what you do to get your name back.
 * DROP [password] – if you want to unregister your nick, this is how you drop it. Be warned, you will lose any channel you own, and auto-opping of any chanel.
 * /clear – delete all text from the chat window.
 * /server [irc.name.org] – go to another server in the IRC world. WARNING! You will leave our chat room and go to #mariowiki on another server, which may be empty. Not recommended.

Rules
