/whowas

Look up information about a user who recently disconnected, such as when they were last seen and what channels they were in.

Syntax

/whowas <nickname>

Parameters

nickname — The user to look up.

How It Works

Shows information about a user who has disconnected within the last hour: their last seen time, which channels they were in, and their quit message (if they provided one). This is useful when you notice someone has left and want to know when and why. Lookups are case-insensitive. If no record exists, a "no whowas information available" message is shown.

Rules & Limits

  • Data is cached for up to 1 hour after disconnect
  • The user must have been online recently

Examples

/whowas Bob
/whowas Alice
