Forum:IRC user nick restrictions

I have a proposal that the user names that people use on the wiki be the same as the nicks they use on IRC. It is very irritating and annoying to go onto the IRC channel and having to ask a user who they are everyday. I think we've all had fun with different nicks but it is getting out of hand. We don't know who we are talking to anymore. The "guess who this is?", is lame. The only exception I would see using another nick is if the users nick is hijacked, then he can use a nick that is very similar to the original nick untill he can gett his nick back. If the nick is registered, it is very easy to get back. There is no reason to use an alias on the IRC channel. We don't use aliases on the wiki, why should we use one in IRC.
