I had understood from looking at their website that you had to register
your project with them as well as just registering the channel. I did
register with chanserv, but wasn't sure if I had to register with them,
and it all seemed too hard, given that I'm just seeing how it goes for
now.

I don't really know the ettiqute for creating channels, so I figured it
was easier for me to setup a server myself and I wouldn't have to worry
about upsetting anyone, or anyone deleting my channel etc.

I went with InspIRCd and Atheme services. It's all running on a freebsd
VPS on vultr.. seems to work well.

I did setup a second server to test my door with NonSSL connections, that
was some mini python ircd that is in pkgsrc (was on NetBSD) that was dead
easy to setup, as there are no configuration options, so was great for
testing... though probably not so great for something public facing.

I hadn't heard of Ergo.Chat
