Information About

Ghost (irc)




A ghost is an IRC user that is left behind for a short time after an abrupt disconnection of a client (for example, by unplugging their Modem ). Ghosts occur due to the implementation of the IRC protocol, where particularly abrupt disconnections may not be noticed by the server for several minutes.

NickServ implementations generally include a "GHOST" command which will disconnect a ghost (or nefarious user) that is using your nickname.
