Freenode IRC

[Andrew Janke]

Have you considered using ZNC or another IRC "bouncer"? It'll retain and 
replay history for you so you can get offline messages and have a 
consistent message history between computers and devices. Pretty easy to 
install if you have a Linux server somewhere, and hardly uses any resources.

Cheers,
Andrew
