You don't need a plugin to do that.  IRSSI will auth to nickserv on it's =
own.

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't had a chance to time out from being disconnected<br>
yet. The thing to do when that happens is use freenode's nickserv<br>
GHOST command, which you can read up on via /msg nickserv help ghost<br>
when you're logged in.<br>

&gt; Hi,<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; I run IRSSI 24x7. I sometimes receive a message like "Irssi: No PONG reply<br>
&gt; from server <a href="http://irc.freenode.net/" target="_blank">irc.freenode.net</a> in 301 seconds, disconnecting" and when it<br>
&gt; tries to reconnect, it says my nick already in use. After that, instead of<br>
&gt; using "abcdefgi", it starts using "abcdefg1". It's annoying as I don't know<br>
&gt; when it got changed.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; I already have my nick specified in irssi config but still it starts using a<br>
&gt; new nick. Why?<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; &nbsp; fn = {<br>
&gt; &nbsp; &nbsp; type = "IRC";<br>
&gt; &nbsp; &nbsp; nick = "abcdefghi";<br>
&gt; &nbsp; &nbsp; autosendcmd = "/^msg nickserv IDENTIFY accessed";<br>
&gt; &nbsp; };<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Is there anything that I can do about that? Thanks in advance.<br>
