      If you registered your nickname with Nickserv and used it 
(/nickserv identify {password}) within the last 30 days (I think - it 
may be 60), you can recover your nickname from someone else using it by 
using the /nickserv recover command or the /nickserv ghost command. 
"Recover" will just force the person holding the nickname to change 
their name to one of the "Guest" nicknames, then place a services bot in 
place of your nickname.  You can release that services bot by using the 
/nickserv release command.  Alternatively, the /nickserv ghost command 
can be used to disconnect the user from the network, entirely and force 
them to re-connect.  It's the "less humane" way to do it.

      To get information on these or other nickserv commands, please 
view the nickserv help system by using /nickserv help.  You can receive 
detailed information on each command by including the name of the 
command after the word "Help":  /nickserv help recover  (for instance).

      If someone else has registered your nickname because you let it 
expire, it is rightfully theirs until they let it expire.
