vBulletin IRC Integration

[Thundgot]

My thread title might not be specific enough for people to understand what I mean so I'll explain a bit deeper here, of course.

I am looking for a script which makes it possible for users to connect to IRC via the forum, it doesn't link them to an external site but keeps them on the website using the same template, I know about a forum using this but they call it Kanshi, searching for Kanshi didn't give me any results so I am wondering if someone is able to link me to the modification that gives me this ability. What I mean is that the script allows users to chat with users on IRC without being connected via a client or web-client and when they speak it shows their forum username.

Thanks in advance, and yes, I've tried to search but I'm not sure what the name of this modification really is.

I somewhat understand what you are asking; however, doing it without a "client" or some interface seems to be impossible.

What we use is EZIrc. It's for VB 3.7, but operates flawlessly on our 3.8 installation. It also carries over the forum username, barring a few random nicks that don't work on irc. We have the script customized to our theme and forum colors.

Then, we use BewareIrcd as our irc server, as we don't want our users to have access to other irc servers. It runs on our dedicated box, and allows us complete control of the user's experience.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply, I'll download and install that modification and see if that's the one I am looking for, I could show you can example of the chat I am talking about but they sadly require registration to see the chat. I just know that when you post something via their "Kanshi" it gets posted on their IRC channel via a bot with the name "Kanshi".
