-allows for easier management. It the preferred IRC daemon for PonyChat.
+**elemental-ircd** is a high performance, lightweight, and scalable
+IRC daemon. It is a fork of the now-defunct ShadowIRCD created to meet
+PonyChat's needs, and seeks to continue in the direction ShadowIRCD
+was headed.
 
 ## Supported Platforms
 
- * Linux
-   * Debian
-   * Centos/Amazon Linux
-   * Alpine Linux
- * FreeBSD
-
-## Build Directions
-
-1. Ensure your system has the equivalents of `openssl-dev`, `flex`, `bison`,
-   and the compiler toolkit. 
-2. Download the [stable tarball](https://github.com/PonyChat/ponychat-ircd/archive/ponychat-ircd-6.3.4.tar.gz)
-   and extract it somewhere on your system.
-3. `./configure --prefix=$HOME/ircd`
-4. `make`
-5. `make install`
-6. Copy the example config `example.conf` to `ircd.conf` in `~/ircd/etc`
-7. Edit the configuration to match your needs
-8. Run `bin/ircd` and have people connect up as normal
+    <Cassy> If you put something on a platform which cannot support it
+            it may tip and fall and become broken. Simple physics.
