YSTV maintains an IRC channel on Freenode, #ystv. The HexChat client is recommended, though you are free to use any you wish. A web client is available at webchat.freenode.net. IRCCloud provides a good mobile client, with a week's free trial of permanent connection. YSTV are also credited with the creation of the NaSTA channel, #nasta at the NaSTA North Conference 2014.
NickServ
It is recommended you register your chosen nickname with NickServ in order to prevent impersonation. Type /msg nickserv register <password> <email address> to register your name. You'll receive a confirmation email with a code. Once you're registered, upon entering any channel on the same network you can type /msg nickserv identify <password> to confirm your identity and boot off anyone using your name.
Morrissey
Morrissey is YSTV's IRC bot, named after Morrissey the YSTV stuffed rabbit. Maintained by Tom Cheyney,[1] it has many useful functions, and a few fun ones. He also has interactive commands.
