==Speaking==
In order to reduce spam, we currently require all IRC users to have their nicks registered with NickServ to be able to speak. You can register your chosen nick with
<code>/msg nickserv register YourPassword your@email.address.com</code>
and then you must identify on every login with
<code>/msg nickserv identify YourPassword</code>
you can make weechat do this automatically with
<code>/set irc.server.oftc.command "/msg nickserv identify YourPassword"</code>
Finally go to [https://services.oftc.net services.oftc.net] to verify your account as not a bot.
==History==
Beginning in 2008, some folks began to idle on <code>irc.freenode.net</code> in <code>#vtluug</code>. In fall 2009, there were generally a dozen LUUG members, alumni and associates on at any given time. Currently, there are often 40 to 50 LUUG members and alumni idling in the channel.
On February 28, 2012, the approximately 30 members in the channel made the decision to migrate to <code>irc.oftc.net</code> due to persistent stability issues with Freenode and some issues that some members had with the staff. By 2014, there were as many as 40 to 50 students and others in the channel. Currently, there are often 20 to 30 LUUG members and alumni idling in the channel.
==Rules==
* Wait around, if you have questions.
** You'll probably be trolled first. Sorry.
