What is the point of installing a MyBB mod for IRC connection when (if your connecting to freenode) all you have to do is go to webchat for freenode link to join?

https://webchat.freenode.net/
And you can modify that url to input username/style/channel etc. via their wizard at the top left corner. 

And if you have page manager plugin installed you can just wrap this link nicely in your MyBB layout. 

I also wanted users to auto input their mybb username in so i made a php to get the username string and insert that into the url for username.
So what does the mods include that you cant get from this?

For example on my forum i do this here
http://python-forum.io/misc.php?page=chat

and if your logged in all you have to do is click the captcha and connect
