The idea of using SQL sounds good at first. But these services are generally
used by small or medium IRC networks all over the world. Some of them have
low configurations and smaller bandwidths. These implementation would need
an additional SQL server as Andy pointed out. Also having statistics on web
would result to another performance decrease. Security is another point.

On the other hand i agree to the idea of updating. It can be improved by
lots of useful commands. CGI/ASP or PHP3 would give us  better results in a
less amount of time due to the need of updating all the code for SQL.

Other advices for current services :
- /chanserv ban command would be very useful
- /nickserv ridentify nick pass (as identifying for a channel, likely LINK
command but only for the active connection, it is necessary when u use
another nick and try to use your accesses)
- /chanserv set #chan Exitmsg (as entrymsg)
- /nickserv chaninfo nick #chan (if user sets chaninfo on for himself) (this
command can give the information about nick as the last time he parted the
channel)
