At a glance, it appears to set the nick to the user's chat handle (see line 30
of irc.js.)  Is it possible that your BBS isn't prompting new users to set a
chat handle?  Maybe it defaults to the BBS name if the chat handle is empty.

A quick workaround for you might be copying irc.js to your mods directory, and
editing the line that currently says:

var nick = user.handle;

To:

var nick = user.alias;
