>/ns register thetest term@******
>-NickServ- Nickname [Term-] has been registered to you.
>-NickServ- An authorization code for your nickname has been sent to
>term@******.
>-NickServ- When you receive this message, type /msg NickServ AUTH code
>(replace code with the authorization code in the message) to complete your
>nickname registration.
>-NickServ- Your password is thetest -- remember this for later use.
>/msg NickServ AUTH 860270749
>-NickServ- Authorization succeeded; your nickname registration is now
>complete.
>/ns identify thetest
>-NickServ- Password accepted -- you are now recognized.
>/ns link 6hithere
>-NickServ- Nick 6hithere has been linked to your nick.
