Irc bots
From Global Shellz Wiki
An IRC bot is a program which appears as a regular user on IRC but performs automatic tasks. The tasks can be related to user requests (infobots, google bots) or channel management. The latter is somewhat well developed since there is no chanserv at efnet and bots were the main reliable way to keep ops, specifically to prevent channel takeovers during netsplits.
