Simply visit the [https://www.darenet.org/signup Sign up page] and create a new account.

	NOTE: On DareNET, your account name is an arbitrary username independent of your IRC nickname (although, they can be the same, in some instances). It is how N, C and other services will recognize you on the IRC network, and is used to login to the website. In essence, it's how others will come to know and easily find you on DareNET. It is NOT nickname registration (don't worry, we'll cover that a little later in this guide), and cannot be changed.
