By keeping the functionality of the main core to a minimum we hope to increase the stability and speed of our project and make it customisable to the needs of many users. InspIRCd is designed primarily to be a custom irc server for the chatspike irc network (irc.chatspike.net) but we are releasing it into the public domain under GPL so that you may benefit yourself from our work. The project is written from scratch, avoiding the inherent instability under large loads which can be seen in many other irc server distributions. [Less]
