You're a very sensitive young man.

"With his own ircd, he could autokill unpleasant chatters."

With the configurable channel bots that you get on *net channels, he could autokill unpleasant chatters.

"He could designate certain people as IRC Operators."

See above.

"With an ircd running on the server, we wont need to deal with large irc network chat morons that pop in to simply cause a ruckus." That never, ever happens to small channels, and what do you think banlists are for

"He could also modify it to be more appropiate for poemranker folk." Whatever that means. It's a chat room, not a multimedia poetry lounge.

Benefits of existing chat network:

1. Multiple servers, so faster/closer connections for people world-wide
2. No downtime
3. Configuration of a channel bot 10x easier than setting up and running ircd to do all the things channel bots do, so it will actually happen instead of just being a plan
5. No chance of an attack taking down the poemeranker web server
6. Nickserv
7. Etc.

"I think your simply butt hurt about the fact that your attempt to maintain a poemranker chatroom was not very successfull, hence your whining."

Yep, I spelled it #poemeranker and harangued the people who visited it because I really wanted it to be "successful".

"you also dont seem to have given the idea any REAL consideration nor have you thought about it, but immediately dismissed the idea."

I didn't give it any REAL consideration because I know a bit about IRC networks and running linux daemons. Plainly you don't.
