Hey,

I finally got the solution. I used sasl.pl to pre-authenticate to freenode
which solved the problem.

This is typical behaviour of irssi (and many other irc clients): when<br>
the nick you want to join with is already in use, it appends things to<br>
the nick you specified until it finds one that is not in use. There<br>
are settings in irssi to give an alternate nick if this happens.<br>
<br>
The reason your desired nick is still in use on the freenode network<br>
is that it hasn&#39;t had a chance to time out from being disconnected<br>
yet. The thing to do when that happens is use freenode&#39;s nickserv<br>
GHOST command, which you can read up on via /msg nickserv help ghost<br>
when you&#39;re logged in.<br>
