Anyone hosting this is just opening themselves up to being used as a
proxy for IRC spam, which will get your IP banned from every network.
There's a reason why bouncers are either private or require
registration...

No account = abuse of service. IRC bouncers are private/registration
required for a reason.

So if you review the code, there is an ability to set a password. That
being said, I presume this would be used by networks as opposed to a
single user. This allows networks to let their users maintain an
always on connection.

If you run an open proxy, absolutely. This does allow for a password.
That said, I presume this will be installed at the network level as
opposed to for a single user.

I've added gateway.js which is just that, a gateway for public IRC
networks to allow their users to stay always on!
