How webirc works:
# The user opens a mibbit client and requests a connect to, e.g., irc.blah.com
# The Mibbit backend checks irc.blah.com for matches in mibbit's webirc database
# If found the backend sends the user's IP along with a password (chosen by the server admin) to irc.blah.com
# The server checks all requests from {{Template:Mibbit_IP}} (webchat.mibbit.com) or {{Template:Mibbit_WIDGET1_IP}} (widget.mibbit.com) for the correct password and then converts ident to "Mibbit" and @*.mibbit.com to the user's host name (most networks obfuscate the host for non ircops). The network now allows an (almost) unlimited number of users from mibbit's IP
