Comment 1 for bug 913056

I can solve this by <iframe src="http://lightirc.com/start/?host=irc.freenode.net&autojoin=%23elementary-dev&showNickSelection=true&nick=User" style="width:800px; height:400px;"></iframe>

this can be placed in the website as a dev irc chat about the site. just create a php variable say $nick and replace nick=User to nick=$nick. but for now, you can change User to whatever you want.
