powered.by.pulsegaming.com
dont.whois.me.it.points2.com

We will be adding more vhosts shortly.

17. /addserver irc.quakenet.eu.org:6667

This will connect you to the quakenet irc network, you can use this command to connect to other irc networks as well.

18. /jump this will establish your connection to the irc network.

You can use /bhelp for a list of commands and how to change your away nick name and away message to broadcast.

Remember when leaving irc, just quit mirc rather than closing the channels, you will automatically rejoin the channels when you connect to the BNC server again.

If people have left messages for you while you have been offline, the psyBNC window will flash upon joining the server and prompt you on how to retrieve your messages and also erase the log.
