COMPONENTS

The most popular style of services use a number of fake clients whoose names end in serv. The four below are nearly always seen in services of this style.

  • The '' ChanServ '', channel service bot, is used to protect Channel Operators . This is convenient for the operators because they do not need to have an operator on the channel all of the time to keep their status.


  • The ''NickServ'', nickname service bot, is used to register and protect user nicknames.


  • The ''MemoServ'', memo service bot, is used to record and deliver messages to users who are currently offline.



Some others are also seen following this naming convention in some services packages including:

  • The ''HelpServ'', the help service bot, is used to provide help on a variety of IRC topics.


  • The ''HostServ'', host service bot, is used to allow general users to register a Vhost so that their real IP Address on IRC is hidden. This service is usually present on DDOS -friendly networks such as Rizon .



IRC SERVICES SOFTWARE PACKAGES


There are several (Now deprecated), Anope , and IRC Services 5 (supporting a wide range of IRC daemons). While some of these packages provide excellent features in the eyes of many users, some network operators decide to write their own services, with the most important reasons being flexibility, customization, and often, mostly on smaller networks, fun also plays an important role. Not all packages implement the above service bots. Also, sometimes the bots have different names, and may or may not implement these functions in the form listed above. Even so, the above form is the most common.
