[IRCServices] Desperate Problems

[Scott Seufert]

I was suggesting a lesser of two evils. Services is in no way required for 
network maintenance, so asking me to decide which is more helpful, is 
totally irrelevant.

A good set of opers and a RFC compliant IRCd will have all the tools needed 
for the task. Please remember that IRC was conceived without services and 
the oldest net still runs without them.

I'm not one to get into a heated debate over my opinion.

If you read RFC 1459, services isn't even mentioned. Where as the duties of 
an IRCop are, in such duties are network/server maintenance. So by 
standard, choosing to keep a network tool like StatServ would be more 
helpful to the oper than worrying about whether or not a few nicks get 
changed/killed.

Whatever you decide is of course your choice alone, I'm just here to help 
by offering my years of experience.

I do trust that these problems will be handled in the near future. In the 
short time I have known Andrew, he has always been good about fixing 
problems in a timely manner.
