-addons and scripts are really diff terms for the same thing
-if the code is put in a public place such as this forum, then its up for grabs to use. of course we cant vouch for the accuracy/safety, but considering the number of scripting gurus here, i doubt much could sneak by.
-we arent a site to find scripts, so you wont really find lots of info about whats posted since ppl here are discussing ways to do things, or ways they have found, or want to find or wanting help on what isnt working
-yes, combining diff things in one script could create probs, and its always possible one script could conflict with another regardless
-please dont feel that any request that would make your IRCing easier for you is stupid. Lots of ppl use scripts to do the same thing you want.
-once you load a script, its loaded till you unload it. i suppose there are exceptions, scripters like to do stuff just cause they can.
-dont worry about scripting being confusing, it makes my eyes cross
