 On or around Friday, October 2nd, we shall be cleaning up the services database.  This involves the bulk removal of expired nicks, channels and accounts.
+
 Therefore, please remember to identify to services when you connect ( /msg nickserv help identify ) and to use your grouped nicks whilst identified - remember, they all expire separately.  
+
 Nicks that are past the expiry threshold of 120 days unidentified on October 2nd will be freed from the database and available for others to register.
+
 If you have a nick grouped to your account that you'd prefer to use as your main nick, you can change your account name - see /msg nickserv help set accountname  for information.
+
 Remember you can use sendpass to recover lost passwords - see /msg nickserv help sendpass.
