Looking to link an ircd somewhere

I've got a server here, idling. Thinking about linking it somewhere finally.
Preferable Unreal3.2.7/Anope setup. 5-100 users, would be ideal for me, somewhere to make a cozy home =)
let me know! =)

How many users you got to bring with you if you link somewhere?

I guess you didn't catch the "server idling" part Cool

I run my own network, therefor, it would be wrong of me to drag people back and forth, im just offering the server ^ ^ to a network that is in dire need of one.

Dear users,
NSA-AcidBath linked to my network yesterday, today he Z-Lined all my bots and my self from the IRC network and tried shutting down the servers and services.
He is NOT to be trusted I`m not joking!
For all those who want logs for prove email me on ftwb@ftwb-networks.net

Correct. I did do this! I didn't kill any services, only shut down my IRCd. Your networks a joke, try running a network on something other than a home connection, with real clients, not 30 bots faked as clients. Thanks for wasting my time.

Now, IRCd is still available to a network that wants it. I do not request an o:line for the server, as long as its actually being used, which it was not on the network full of local bots from FutureIRC, which doesn't actually exist neither.

I just want to give the IRCd a good home, where it will be USED. Clients connected, chatting, happy. Don't let this goon scare you, like I said, im asking for nothing except a place to link, I dont want an o:line. 50-100 users network wide, is ideal.

Just in case anyone DOES get a bit paranoid, i admin with NSA-AcidBath, he's quite professional, and isn't given to random abuse as FutureWeb has assumed.

btw futureweb, it's not very smart to go on bitching about your servers 'datacentre' when you host it at home, yeh? k.

Hosting at home isnt very stable....

eh, home hosting 'can' be reasonably stable, obviously dependent on a) the amount of users you permit on that server, and b) the stability of your home connection. I've seen home hosted servers that were a damn site more stable than those hosted with some hosting companies.. it's entirely dependent, i just meant that pretending it was in a datacentre ( implying that you'd decided to get a dedicated box with a decent connection) when it's actually in your house... isn't the wisest thing.

urm, with regards to the Z:line, he zlined ONE person, who also happened to have a bunch of bots around to make the usercount look bigger. ( i'm assuming that's why anyway.) i was connected there at the time, and i wasn't zlined. neither was the single other user... so umm, yeh. zlining one person isn't exactly abusive, especially given that from what i was told, that one person was being particularly irritating. and the sole other user at the time btw, was an admin on the server who was perfectly able to remove the zline. on a sidenote, NSA-AcidBath's network received some spambots today... i wonder if this could be related? *shrug*

I havent asked for any logs or witnessed what happened, so *I* can only assume that futureirc is right and acidbaths... is in the wrong as he more or less admited it on a public medium, I aint out for answeres but merely sharing my own judgement on what I have read here and I appologise if he only zlined one person not an entire network, but still remains the fact is it still isnt proffesional to throw your weight around before you delink, if he wants a network full of bots thats his choice not mine or yours to remove them.

If you are getting spambots I can only but sympathise with you, if it is todo with futureirc or anyone he knows then as much as I dont believe in attacks like this acidbath may have brought this on himself rather than just leave things be and delink peacefully.
