Last year we published a list of the 10 Most Visited Tips for 2011. While the order shifted around, it turns you that you had the same top 9 questions for 2012. Why should I register my nickname and how do I do it? (#8 in 2011) rose to the #1 position, and new to the list was the question How Do I Join Channels Automatically?

Since there was little change in the overall most visited overall tips, I rounded up the most popular tips that were published in 2012. Here are the new tips that you visited the most:

1. Using Channel Keys
2. I’m Banned From My Own Channel
3. Using Channel Modes to Hide Your Channel
4. How to Block Private Messages (PMs)
5. Choosing a Nickname
6. Are You Using Our Round Robins?
7. What To Do If You Forget Your Password
8. What Is A Hostmask?
9. What’s a Netsplit?
10. Getting a Channel in the List of Chat Rooms
