Ircd Help :/

[IceGuru]

I wanna buy an IRC for my forum here - http://monetizingforum.com/

So my users can chat on but I have never run an IRC before so i don't know how to setup bots and jazz ... nothing much just something what will respond to simple keywords and every 15 minutes or so say check out the forum (insert link here)

I really wanna just get a VPS and host the site vent and irc all at once but I don't have enough linux knowledge. (every tut I find is outdated or half way though I run into a problem and the page can't talk to me.

PM me if you want my MSN.
