Our homemade IRC logging bot has been inactive for quite some time (some quotes stretch only to 2 months but before that it has been quite infrequently exercised). There are performance and stability problems with it which have prevented it's continued use via donated servers and the like. It may be time to investigate alternative, more stable bots.
Alternatively, the most pressing issue with Sharpbot is it's dependence on the sharpos logging password to upload it's logs to the server. It is possible to negate the need for authentication but first the system needs to be changed so as to only transfer new log messages instead of the entire days log during synchronization. However this idea was discussed before (creating a peer based sharpbot network of sorts to improve coverage and security) but was never acted upon. I'd prefer to go with a different logging bot, maybe written in a more performant language which will allow us to run it quietly on donated servers without causing issues. Naturally the bot would need some sort of upload mechanism to send the logs to the server for display.
