[IRCServices] Advance warning for 5.0.32

[Craig McLure]

I dont use Bahamut, but i tend to agree with this opinion, imo, theres nothing wrong with leaving an 'old' module in there for people who dont run 1.8.0.

At the end of the day thou, if the worst comes to the worst, users of older releases can just backup their old module, before updating services, then just put it back where it was before (removing the new support)

Like i say, i dont use Bahamut, so its just my opinion
