Faking Chat Messages / Gateway

Is it possible to "fake" chat messages by having a client issue commands as an IRC operator?

I have a website that has an AJAX based shoutbox-style chat and would like to link it to an IRC channel. I know I can have a bot sit in the channel that echos out the messages as follows:

Code: Select all

<Botnick> <User> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...
but I would really like the messages to appear as

Code: Select all

<User> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...
to other clients instead.

Is it possible to do that somehow? I searched around the net and these forums a bit but didn't find an answer. Then again, I don't really know what keywords I would have to use in the first place. >_>;

There is no 'Easy' way to do that no, as its completely beyond even an IRCop's privledges to forge such a thing as its done within the protocol itself.
