You may find that an IRC server used for the purposes of discussing DoS
attacks, to the point of being used for real time mitigation of same, will
ultimately be targeted as part of those attacks.

A dedicated DS3 probably does not provide enough bandwidth to run a modern
DoS-resistent IRC server. As a point of reference, during an attack, some
EFnet IRC servers may take in multiple hundreds of Mb/s before upstream
action is initiated.

There are people who do things and people who take the credit, and the
trick is to be in the first group; there is a lot less competition. --
