IRCReport started once upon a time as IRCNews and prior to that it went through various different names all with the basic same goal, to report on not just the 
niche IRC news but all the news, as time passed IRCNews and then later IRCReport expanded beyond just offering news but also offering files and resources. IRCReport's founder X-Ception is a fan of opensource so near every part of the site is powered by open source technology including the site and its extensions.

savIRC dead ? It would appear that savIRC has bitten the dust and is no more, the homepage for the client displays a cancelled page implying such which would mean yet another promising client fades away. I have no official confirmation of the client dieing off but based on what's on the homepage that would be the case. savIRC is a TCL multi-platform client which showed a lot of promise but much like most clients that start out tends to suffer due to either lack of time, interest, resources or fan base.
