We have recently begun using Cygnus IRC Services. These services
contain many exciting features and enhancements which we believe
you will like. Here's a brief description of some of those features:

  NickServ --
    NickServ allows users to register their nicknames, and also
    allows you to change to any nickname you want and still be
    recognized as identified, so you don't have to keep identifying
    or use the same nickname all the time. NickServ also lets you
    LINK nicknames together, saving you time and effort!

  ChanServ --
    ChanServ lets you register and own channels. Once your channel
    is registered with ChanServ, you have complete control over it.
    You can set who gets access on your channel, who can be in your
    channel, and lots of other options.

  MemoServ --
    MemoServ allows you to send and receive memos with other users
    who also have their nicknames registered with NickServ. MemoServ
    has many powerful features such as RECALL, Memo Receipts, and
    MemoMail which make it easy to communicate with people who aren't
    online at the moment.

Please take a moment to read the HELP files for all of the new
service clients, and to familiarize yourself with them.

Thanks!
