UnrealIRCd or InspIRCd

Question

I am the manager of a small IRC server of 100-300 simultaneous connected users since now 8 years, I am under UnrealIRCd. I see many competitors replacing their UnrealIRCd by InspIRCd and I would like to understand why they do that? What are the benefits of InspIRCd?

Answer 1

There are many ways you can compare the two IRC servers, a good comparison could be found at Comparison of Internet Relay Chat daemons

Few additions as well are:

• Both ircd projects are up to date.
• Both have a rich modules libraries.
• Both have a good recent commit history & issue tracker.
• They have almost the same feature support, although InspIRCD is in favor.

For me personally, i prefer InspIRCD, i feel they have the edge, with accepting new ideas and implementing features.

At the end, base on those comparison, it doesn't really matter, both of them are doing a great job all around, and are well distinguished between others.
