Chat hack (IRC) and usernames

[Franki]

I want to install a chat script that uses an IRC server (via a java applet). I would like the hack to register automatically a nickname on the IRC server with a prefix (in order to be sure that every nickname will be available). For example, if I have a user "chris" on my board called "forumname" then the script should register the nickname "forumname_chris" using the forum password. So every user from my forum could automatically login the chat room with this nickname. Is it possible?

I'm interested as well. This is exactly what I had on my Yabb.
