Where is a good place to find more info on just irc in general? I know
very little about the specifics of irc, like what is a NickServ? stuff
like that. I know I can do a quick search for a specific thing, but
there are things I don't know I know, and I feel a guide of some sort
would be more helpful for something like that.

5. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Relay_Chat_services
6. http://wiki.chat4all.org/index.php/Main_Page#English _(though this
contains info specific to the Chat4All IRC network I admin, it also
contains some generic info that applies to other IRC networks that run
UnrealIRCd (an IRC server package) and Anope (an IRC services
package))_
7. http://esper.net/help.php _(though this contains info specific to
the Esper IRC network I frequently visit, it also contains some
generic info that applies to IRC in general, and Charybdis (an IRC
server daemon) and Atheme (an IRC services package) in particular)_
8. http://freenode.net/faq.shtml (freenode's documentation; again,
this contains some network-specific info, it might still be useful to
read through.)
9. http://www.snoonet.org/help Snoonet's help page. I'm not on this
network myself, but since Reddit seems to have ties with it, I thought
it would make sense to mention it as well.
10. http://irc.netsplit.de/channels/ Find IRC channels regardless of
which network they are on.

I learned a lot from the www.efnet.org "Docs" section.
