  WHAT IS PULSARNET? 

   PulsarNet is an IRC network much like IRCnet, EFnet, Undernet, etc. It is 
   composed of IRC Servers around the world for the purpose of connecting 
   people in a relay based network for chatting, sending files, or whatever
   you like.


  OK, SO WHY PULSARNET?

   You may be asking yourself, why do we need PulsarNet when there already
   are lot of other irc-nets. Well, there are many reasons that we could
   list to show why PulsarNet is the best choice, but here are a few things
   which we are better on than other nets:

	§  LESS LAG!
	§  LESS NETSPLITS!
	§  No channel takeovers!¹
	§  No one else can use YOUR nick!²
	§  Most server administrators are friendly! :)
	§  Longer Nicknames
   ¹ Channel takeovers are as good as not possible because we run ChanServ.

   ² By registering your nick at the NickServ, so no one can use your nick
     while you aren't connected to PulsarNet.

 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

  HOW DO I REGISTER MY NICK?
  
   You have first to be connected to PulsarNet, and you have to choose a
   nick you want to use and a password and there after you have to write
   following two lines:

                        /msg nickserv addnick [your nick] [password]
                        /msg nickserv auth [your nick] [password]

   Now you have registered your nickname, for more help just type:

                        /msg nickserv showcommands

 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

  HOW DO I REGISTER MY OWN CHANNEL?

   Just join the channel you want to register, e.g. "/join #f1" and then
   type the following line:
   
                        /msg chanserv register
                        
   You can add users who will be automatically oped and lot more too, to
   get more information about the other commands to use, just type this:
   
                        /msg chanserv showcommands
                        
   If you happen to be moving a larger channel from another irc-net, then we
   can offer you webspace for the channels homepage. 

 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

  IS IT ALLOWED TO RUN BOTS AT PULSARNET?

   Yes most servers allows people to run 1 bot, but before you let your bot to 
   connect, do always ask the channels owner if it's ok for him/her that you
   bring your bot to that channel.

 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

  CAN I CONNECT MY OWN SERVER TO PULSARNET?
  
   We are always happy to get a new server to our net, and even more happy
   if you already have users. There are a few rules which must be satisfied
   
   	§ The servers internet connection should be at least 128kb/s
   	§ The server shall be run 24h

   co-administrators for the servers. We will always try to help you as much
   as possible.
