Erm, cygwin is an emulator for unix under windows... not a irc services package...

How about srvx?

We use Anope because they are highly customizable through the use of modules that are very easy to load and with a large section to choose from. That way you can use popular Services without being just like every other network.

Anope SVN version, with
Current Module list:
Module: bs_seen [(null)] <--- much better then the default !seen
Module: bs_deoponbotkick [1.00] <----- prevents eggdrop/services fights (I mod services itself to make chanserv op botserv bots, that way they don't op themselves and trigger modehack alerts in eggdrop)
Module: ms_cowner [1.0] <---- I run a small net, it's useful to be able to contact all founders at once.
Module: ns_allmodesonid [1.01] <---- to set all users +R on id, to limit the effect of spambots and to encourage people to use services.
Module: ns_noticeunregistered [1.02] <---- to encourage people that are migrating here from efnet to reg their nicks/channels.
Module: ns_listbyemail [(null)] <---- to detect ban evaders who register multiple NS accounts.
Module: ns_resetpass [(null)] <---- to cut down on the amount of "please reset my pwd" requests my opers have to deal with.
Module: os_notidlist [1.13] <---- helps detect botnets, and lets us encourage the usage of services.
8 Modules loaded.

I use Anope becuase it is flexible in that it supports many third party modules and add-ons.
I use it becuase it supports botserv, which saves us a lot on having to use eggdrops, and is generally high quality.
I also use Anope becuase unlike IRCServices (ime), the coding team actually listens seriously to what you suggest and you can get the features you want without having to code them yourself.

Since I run a bahamut-based network, I need some kind of services program that can do network wide bans (as the ircd only has local klines). I also like the idea of channel and nick ownership. Cygnus and Magick look like they've not been updated in years, and Anope has better module support and flexibility then IRCServices, hence I use it.

NeoStats most recent stable: neostats, connectserv, opsb, secureserv, statserv.
I use statserv to track user numbers (and to detect when numbers rise too quickly, indicating some kind of attack), and for network maps.
I use connectserv to monitor kills and oper modes.
I use opsb as my opm, becuase it works and it checks opm.blitzed.org.
I use secureserv to warn users who use broken copies of mirc (many, many users are guilty of this).

I would use BOPM instead of neostats, but bahamut doesn't support any way for a normal ircd to send network-wide connection noticies to a client. Also, I want secureserv and statserv.
I could run bopm with it's server perl script...... and I probably should, as it is a better opm then OPSB is, but neostats is far more convenient.

So, that's what I run :) Bahamut(1.4.36p3), Anope(SVN), and NeoStats(stable)

We currently use Anope, but im working on winse so one day we can change over! Razz

Used to use ircservices, they are really nice... before that, tried cygnus (habber.net/services) which, btw are now officially dead and before that, auspice! (which sucked arse)

Ashen, this thread specificlly talks about IRC Services .. not Oper Services. IMO there should have been a 'none' option.

1) IMO, an opm counts as an IRC service. It's a monitoring service - that uses IRC. Hence IRC Service, surely?
2) According to the topic starter:

I run Anope+BOPM on one network and Anope+BOPM+NeoStats on a smaller network.
