That's what ops are for.

So are just about all IRC networks.

1. Free bandwidth.
2. No administration worries (DDOSes, crackers, etc.)
3. No need to get on yet another IRC network if we are already on
   one (some are regularly on efnet, undernet, etc.)
4. More servers on existing networks.
5. No need to add our IRC network to IRC clients.
