[IRCServices] cheers. ideas.

[Chris Wiest]

i debated, and even played with storing/retreiving to mysql.  The problem
that I've found is that you then deal with ensuring the sql program is up
and running, and sql tends to crash (we actually have a sql based program
currently that has an average uptime of 2 to 3 days).  I don't know if
anyone else has experienced this, however it seems to kinda be
standard.  We deal with 1600 to 2000 users simultaneous, they tend to get
pissy when our services go boom, and rightly so.  I'm not saying not to
move to sql (though I'd say xml seems a better option), but I am saying
that given sql's uptime, it can be an issue.
