[17:58] <chief-monk> Hello anyone here?
[18:09] <Menzador|Work> chief-monk: Yes, we're here; what do you need?
[18:19] <chief-monk> ok
[18:21] <chief-monk> Please explain to me on Aug 16th I register my nick and was able to go to #ubuntu and now everything wiped clean.  even my channels were gone too..
[18:23] <chief-monk> I was told once I register my nick it was good and only done once.
[18:23] <Pici> chief-monk: IRC doesn't save state.  Your IRC client is responsible for re-joining any channels that you may have joined before.
[18:23] <Pici> Its not like discord.
[18:24] <Pici> Also you aren't currently signed into your account
[18:24] <Pici> See /msg nickserv help identify    for logon syntax
[18:26] <chief-monk> Pici: when you quit the chat is there a way it saves the channels or do I need to search for them again?
[18:30] <Pici> chief-monk: It might be a function of your IRC client. There are so many out there that its hard to give generic advice about how to do that.
[18:31] <chief-monk> Pici:  Okay a general idea what to look for?
[18:32] <chief-monk> Pici: And there is a code to register my nick?
[18:33] <tomreyn> the #freenode channel usually provides irc support, but i bet there is also ##irc
[18:33] <tomreyn> !alis
[18:33] <tomreyn> !register
[18:33] <chief-monk> They send an email stating it is register?
[18:35] <chief-monk> Thank you all
