You would have been more than welcome on irc.corecodec.com, which is a 
dedicated IRC server, doing nothing else, and is working perfectly

Of course, i understand this may not have been an option for you, 
because you are mixing up Corecodec as a multimedia community and host, 
and some of the projects hosted on there.
