      Who told you that?

      I think you're confusing the word "server" with "nickname", but 
correct me if I'm wrong.  There are some channels on the network which 
require that you have a registered nickname before you're able to enter 
them.  In addition, registering your nickname will give you the ability 
to "protect" it so that nobody else can use it.  If this is your goal, 
you need only to utilize the services of the "NickServ" bot.

      When connected to AnthroChat, type:

/nickserv help

... to get a list of commands that you can send to nickserv.  To get 
more details on specific commands, you can type:

/nickserv help commandname

... replacing "commandname" with one of the listed commands.  I'll use 
the register command as an example.  Typing:

/nickserv help register

... will give you detailed information about how the register command 
works.  Once you go through the registration process, you only need to 
identify yourself to NickServ, using NickServ's identify command, when 
you connect to the network.  If you don't identify to NickServ for 60 
days, your nickname registration will drop.
