[IRCServices] using a different database for user auth?

[jay]

I found the thread you mentioned, but unfortunately there wasn't much information there, and I haven't been able to dig up much relevant information on google either. 

Does anyone know where I can find this mysql module?

Alternatively, does anyone have any suggestions on another way I could approach this problem?

Many thanks,

Charlie
