[IRCServices] mildly off topic?

[Ballsy]

	While this is somewhat like asking "What's the best operating 
system for my desktop" (in that the responses will vary, as everyone has 
their favourites), many folks on the list seem to use bahamut (1.4.30 or 
later), including myself, and it seems to get along with IRC Services just 
fine.
	While I have absolutely no personal experience running Unreal 
IRCd, dare I say that it seems to be responsible for the majority of the 
"I have a problem" posts to this list.  I think these relate to specific 
versions of Unreal though, as others apparently work just fine.
	It really depends on what you want from your IRCd though.  If 
you've been using Dreamforge until now, moving to bahamut may be the 
easiest transition.  Bahamut is designed for large networks though, in 
that it is not near as feature-rich as some other daemons, but can handle 
an incredible client load (there are servers on DALnet with 40K+ 
concurrent users).
	The best way to go, I imagine, would be to check out the IRC 
Services docs to see what IRCds are supported, then look at those IRCds 
individually to see if they have what you want/need.
