It's really quite easy to set up on your own. Why have a site do it
for you?

There are several advantages in using the iBash system.

Why develop something of your own when you have fully functional
system available? It's likely that feature wise your system will be
lacking.

The other available quotes systems are old, and so is their design and
UI.

When using the iBash system you publish your channel/network in it's
directory thus enabling more users to know about your channel/network.

iBash is still in beta stages, some of it's innovative features are
not yet available but soon it will offer the following:

* iBash API - For programmers who want to interact with iBash
* IRC clients plugins - So quotes could be added directly from the
clients
* Quotes Bot - One that can be invited into any channel, network.
* Topic scraping from channels.

And more...
So sure, you can write your own system, but why should you?

I have a feeling that you're a representative of this site, and thus,
not a biased source of information.

Yes, the current [quote
systems](http://sourceforge.net/projects/osqdb/) are old, but anyone
with decent experience in PHP and MySQL can easily make improvements.

That's great that you are able to post your channel/network in their
directory, but a QDB for smaller and more private channels would best
be suited hosted by a member of the channel.

The ability to have an IRC bot to interact with the website and the
channel is more of a security flaw than anything.

Use any system you like Richard, [iBash](http://www.iBash.org) merely
gives you another option. If you don't like it, that's ok.
