REGISTER
Syntax:
REGISTER #channel [description]
Registers a channel in the ChanServ database. In order to use this command, you must first be a channel operator on the channel you're trying to register.
The description, which is optional, is a general description of the channel's purpose.
When you register a channel, you are recorded as the "founder" of the channel. The channel founder is allowed to change all of the channel settings for the channel; ChanServ will also automatically give the founder channel-operator privileges when s/he enters the channel.
See the ACCESS command (/msg ChanServ HELP ACCESS) for information on giving a subset of these privileges to other channel users.
NOTICE: In order to register a channel, you must have first registered your nickname.
