The IRC server is being replaced by Ergochat which has more modern login capabilities. It supports customizing the login process so clients will be able to log in with a token, and for the users that want to log into IRC outside of the FAF client, there will be a separate mechanism for setting a password which will be built outside of the lobby server. So as far as the lobby server is concerned, all knowledge/logic around IRC can be dropped.
