Welcome to this week's Learning with Ty! Today we'll be covering "How to Identify to Services BEFORE Joining Channels!" In this week's lesson, we'll assume you're using HexChat, as it is kinda great and you have it installed. Now, you maybe wondering, "Come on Ty, why should I authenticate before joining channels?" Well, fear not, I can answer that for you. If you fail to authenticate before joining channels, you will create 3 lines of text when you join. Usually this isn't a problem, but some users tend to join and leave a lot. Now, it is 3 lines of text every time you connect. I think you can see the problem. Now to the instructions!

Pretty simple, HexChat -> Network List Simply select FreeNode from the list of channels and click Edit. It's a drop down, you can figure this out. Yup, put hunter2 in that box. Yup. Mhmm, close them dialogs. Ask someone if it worked.
 * Step One- Open the Network List
 * Step Two- Edit Freenode's Settings
 * Step Three- Set Login method to "Server Password (/PASS password)
 * Step Four- Put your nickserv password into the password box
 * Step 5- Press Close
 * Step 6- Press Close again
 * Step 7- Close and reopen HexChat to confirm
