How To Be Lame

Was googling to find out what it means when someone says “re” in IRC, when I came across this helpful tutorial: “How To Be Lame”. A sample from Lesson #4:

die is the most common response to anything and everything. whenever someone makes a 1% or more serious statement (or a request), just put a little ‘die’ or ‘dieplz’ after.

Example:

<person1> i think this channel needs moderating
<person2> die

    Hi.

    And what does “re” actually mean when used in IRC?

    Staying anonymous cause I have been using IRC for over 11 years without ever knowing ;)

    If I recall correctly, saying “re” when you sign on to an IRC channel is short for “re-hello”, i.e. “hello again”.
