- ALL channel names are ALL over ALL servers... easy. There are no "standard"
- channels. Those channels survive because because there are always clients
- connected and wich is on those channels.
- You connect to ONE and only ONE server and that ONE server should be your
- NEAREST server, not the one in JAPAN :-)). From ONE server you are able to
- see the whole irc.world.net. That is whay it's called internet RELAY chat.

- No need....
-
- just /join #YourSigName and that should be all you need to do.
-
- Easy...
