[IRCServices] Services' allow spaces in nicks?

[Tim AtLee]

Heya

I'm in class now, so I'll make this really quick :-)

Try this (BTW, I know this works on Cyclone):
/msg operserv raw SVSNICK <old nick> <new nick> <time>

For new nick, use the NULL character (alt-255).  You can also add any 
special character you'd like when using SVSNICK.

It works.  Same thing can be done for @ (ie change Nick1 to @Nick1)

Anyhow, back to amplifiers.....

Tim
