the @ is used by twitter to mean one thing and IRC to mean another
Though actually, this is a rather easy problem to solve.
FYI: the @ symbol is sometime used, especially in more text-based IRC clients, to indicate that a user has channel operator status. Some people, when talking directly to people on IRC, will include the @.
However, it is used on twitter to mean a message directed at someone. This is probably the more common usage by this point, as a similar notation is sometimes used on forums to direct a message to a particular user in a conversation.

Seems like this forum software has a minor social networking function built in.

Huh, looks like it only works at the very start of the post.
Also, # is used to indicate channel names on IRC. You don't /join yackfest, you /join #yackfest.
