I noticed you mentioned Outwar in your post. I only speed-read the replies so if there is detail I am repeating then this is why.
I do however also remember you telling doodman to keep an "open mind". Well, open mind and Outwar don't really go hand in hand, sorry to say. Outwar webpages are designed to be advertised in order to get more hits than the next Outwar account holder. However, Outwar also have a strict advertising policy which I think you should take note of. How do you do this? Click the link at the top-right of your Outwar web page relating to advertising abuse and read the message that appears. Whether Outwar does this as a genuine effort to curb advertising or as a way of covering their arses is another matter though I do know for a fact that they instantly delete accounts where evidence of owner advertising has been produced.
As a general rule, advertising or promotion of anything on IRC is pretty annoying. People visit IRC to communicate with their friends and associates. They don't expect you or anyone else to perform the JOIN -> "Hey visit this Outwar site it's very kewl" -> PART ritual and interrupt the conversation. Do this on most networks and you can expect to be banned fairly quickly, aside from the complaint to Outwar management and maybe also your ISP.
If all this bothers you then you should hire some billboard space to have your URL on.
