Because some businesses just won't use a public IRC server for various policy reasons (including policies required by their own customers), while using a paid server from a third party could be accepted.
That's just one example.
- problemdomain 14y agoThat's the intersection of the following sets: * Small companies. * With some legal or contractual obligation preventing use of a public IRC server. * But not preventing use of a third-party outside-the-firewall solution. * And not having any criteria for the third-party, such as HIPAA compliance, warranties/guarantees, etc. Seems a pretty small set... Interestingly, grove doesn't seem to promise not to disclose the archives of your "private" server at all. Lots of ass-covering in their Terms of Service in favor of grove, and they have a privacy policy pertaining to their website, but nothing I could find about not telling the world whatever you happen to send their IRC servers.
