If you have been directed to this page, chances are you receive the following error when trying to connect to DareNET: Bad username. This is in reference to the User ID that is between ! and @ in your hostmask (i.e. nick!user@host). It must comply with a few specific rules:


  1. Only one '-', '_' or '.' is allowed. Two are allowed, if not consecutive, but not as the first or last character.
  2. No other special characters are allowed.
  3. Must contain at least one letter.


mIRC users may change their User ID in the following way:

  • Options > Email
  • Options > connect > Identd.
