But I think we made this work. We registered a channel, but then to make our username/nicknames more unique, we had the chat login append a unique designator at the end of each username. Like this, in jchat.php:
// Append TUS designator to username $irc_nick_suffix = "TUS"; $irc_nick = "$irc_nick$irc_nick_suffix";
("TUS" is the initials of our board and it's what everyone calls it for short.)
And I'm encouraging users to register that nickname so they don't have to worry about getting changed to "guest."
