[AC-Admins] Trash talking servers / admins

We could, but the issue with that would be that the connections would
still be coming from the server the users are connecting through.
For example, if a user comes from a California based IP, when they go
to chat.anthrochat.net, they're connecting to Lion, and with CGI:IRC,
the server initiates the connection to the IRC server, so it would
increase lag to have lion make a connection to tixen or snowleopard
rather then just connecting to the local server.

The only way to combat this would be to have multiple servers running
the CGI:IRC script, and have chat.anthrochat.net become a rotary like
irc.anthrochat.net does, but locating a user by IP would complicate
and slow the process of loading the chat application.  In addition to
this, we would have to manage the chat application on multiple
servers, which makes application upgrade concurrency a challenge,
amongst other things.

Personally, I think leaving this as it is now our best option moving forward.
