Link to IRC

    Host says no hosting or linking to IRC, however, they will not monitor it.
    So, I'll interpret that as: no hosting irc daemon/bots, and no linking to irc:// protocol.
    EzIRC seems to embed mibbit, which is a third party service that connects to IRC servers.
    We can probably get away with saying we are embedding a chat service provided by third party, and not have any problem; though, we may need to re-brand most of official wordings as "Chat" instead of "IRC", to stay low on the radar.

    What a nazi hosting provider.

    Can we simply sticky the thread with the link for the time being?

    It already is stickied.

    Actually, its pretty standard. There's about 1 million search results from google showing hosts not allowing linking to IRC.
    Most host providers have this policy because IRC have historically demonstrated to attract DDoS attacks more than other services, and providers want to have nothing to do with it, at all, not even at a linking level.
    It's sad, I know... There are many valid uses for IRC, we had one at our work place, and it works much better than scattered IM chats...

    Chat tab added; for now it still have references to IRC, and it still does not auto join #superswordaction tonight.
    I'll try to figure those out later tonight, so don't go and bookmark the link just yet (note the url bit still says ezirc, so that is likely to go).
    Will update this thread again when that happens.
