If you are looking for a great full featured ircd with some of the same futures as unrealircd, or even minimalistic ircd such as hybrid or charybdis, inspircd is for you. Because of the use of modules, you can completely control what features your network has, as well as program your own with the well documented api.
The support people and coders are a lot nicer then the rivals, just join there support channel and you can have a good time, and someone is always willing to help you if you have trouble with your ircd.

Although inspircd doesn't support many stats packages yet, it does support denora, and there is another package in development made just for inspircd.

Atheme, ircservices and anope (svn) all work well with this ircd, and overall, I recommend you all try it.

We moved from UnrealIRCD to Inspircd some time ago now, and although through early releases there were issues, the team were quick to fix and very helpful when determing what the problem is.

With this recent release bringing wonderful stability included with its great flexability and scalability. No looking back.
