Guidelines and Netiquette

Unlike ICE chat, this chat does have operators who will, when present, keep things orderly. Go ahead and chat freely, but just remember that manners count. These are some important things you should know:

Commands and how to use them

Most of the commands are similar to the ones used in ICE, but here's the list

Regular commands
.quit Leaves the chat. This command isn't necessary to log out.

.whereis Find a user.
.users See the complete user list.
.rooms See a list of rooms.
.roominfo [room] Get information about a room.
.ignore
