This thread has been split from the pJIRC chat addon thread as it derailed the topicfirst, thank you for the great integration of pJIRC. Looks great and works great.
Maybe there are some inherent problems with IRC why this cannot work the way I need it.
I run a maior chat. People talk to each other and need to trust that they do not talk to an impostor. This is what we have registration and passwords for.
My knowledge of IRC is only rudimentary. I understand that IRC has its own registration. I wonder how efficient it is and if one can register 20 000 people to a public shared channel. So one would need to register every user in UBB to the IRC channel to make it safe. And each time one changes his password in UBB he would have to change it in IRC
Probably not feasible, especially as UBB does not even store the password but rather an encrypted version of it.
Just found another chat that probably would lend itself to integration. It is free, works also with php, has integration with almost all board except ubb. Anyone wants to work on the integration? I might try but if the experts would do it, I would very much appreciate
