Choosing a host for a free mature audience, niche group, suggestions?

There's a niche facebook group I'm a part of which only has a few
thousand members with only a handful that interact outside of
Facebook, but in hopes to stir this techsavy group into a more real-
time chat base I figured why not set up a simple IRC channel for this
since it can be as easy as clicking a link to a flash-based client for
auto-joining these days for IRC.

The group does also have a website which once I have the room running
I'll ask the admins to add to the website (And give them OP of course)

What nodes do you suggest I do this with? The biggest thing is that
there may be image links shared which are NSFW, so any IRC node which
restricts such things will be out.

Pretty much any IRC network will do for this since none cater
specifically to "niche facebook group", I guess that would be a weird
focus, huh?

Since I'm from Snoonet I'll tell you it's great and the Kiwi webchat
really does make joining a thing of a single click
(http://webchat.snoonet.org/channel) and we have really responsive
support. But in the spirit of equality in this subreddit I will also
tell you that any IRC network will serve you just fine :)

Freenode is my go-to network for community channels like this.

Snoonet is also pretty great!
