I am sorry, that doesn't work.
After a Disconnect and automatic Reconnect, it keeps saying:
ERROR Nickname is already in use
NickServ: Your name is not registered
Then it sets my nick to NiGHtOwL|afk
After a while the IRC server realizes NiGHtOwL isn't there anymore and Quits NiGHtOwL Ping Timeout
Me as NiGHtOwL|afk sees NiGHtOwL leaving.
Might sound a bit weird I don't know, but that is what I see
