"distance isnt that big of an issue,"

Yes it is. Try to play quake on a server on the other side of the world. IRC isn't quake but high latency is always shit.

"-shrug- im one of those nerds that consider running an ircd fun and challenging, a techie adventure.. perhaps im forgetting to be reasonable."

That's totally irrelevant. You wouldn't even be the one setting it up, and the point isn't to fuck around with setting it up, it's to get it running so people can, you know, use it.

"100% uptime - well poemranker has a decent uptime record, it does have its moments though. (what, you want to idle 24/7? is an irc chat window some sort of lifeline?)"

No. However, if the current chatcave is anything to go by, we'd have about 10% uptime.

"my mention of bad advertising was right on the dot though."

It was 'true', but it had nothing to do with the question.
