BNC Username and IRC Nickname Are Different

Your BNC username and IRC nickname serve different purposes.

BNC username

Your BNC username is used for:

• Account identification.
• Dashboard access.
• BNC connection commands.
• Linking your configured IRC networks to your account.

The BNC username is not a casual self-service setting.

Username changes must be handled through support or administration.

IRC nickname

Your IRC nickname is the name shown while connected to an IRC network.

Each user-managed network can have its own nickname settings.

Changing an IRC nickname does not rename your BNC account.

Example

Your BNC username could be:

ExampleUser

while your nickname on an IRC network could be:

ExampleNick

The connection command still uses the BNC username and dashboard network name.
