Is it of use to install a bouncer (ZNC) if I already have an eggdrop
bot to log to discussions?
reddit / irc

I want to log the discussions of a channel, and to be able to send
messages, eggdrop doesn't seem really adapted for this use, it's
mostly a bot to log and use scripts.

Is ZNC more adapted to send messages? I don't really know what I want,
I'm imagining a kind of rTorrent but for IRC, where you put it on your
server, it connects and you can access it from a web interface, but I
guess you can't send messages via the web interface like KiwiIRC or
Mibbit.

Well, I don't really know, but if the sole purpose of ZNC is to log
and stay connected, I can as well keep my eggdrop. What I would like
is something that stay connected even when I logout (to have logs),
but which also have an interface to discuss.

Could someone help me for that? I'm pretty new to IRC, and even newer
to bouncers and shells.

A bouncer sits between a normal client and a normal server. It is not
a web client so you don't log into it to chat, you use a normal client
(web or local) to connect to the znc and chat.


Something like [irccloud](https://www.irccloud.com) is a persistent
online webchat but since you have no control over it you don't really
get log files...
