I think FiReMaGe should get a free account from the devs for the sole purpose of running IRC bot. Many players like having the relay and enjoy the ability to monitor Vendetta from work, school, or at home when otherwise occupied. The bot works very well for this and it's easier then the Dev's having to make an interface.

I think FiReMaGe's IRC bot provides a vital role to Vendetta.

Of course I am presuming FM still wants to run it. I may be jumping ahead of myself.
