No matter what IRC network you're on, guy... the fact is that our IRCNet
channel has been visited by more people than your channel will ever have
;) Maybe you come to IRCNet and chat on this channel, it's useless if
every fan creates its own channel. Our IRCNet-channel has the unique feature
that it's linked to maritin's site (www.oceangirl.org) on big chat events.
But if you want to continue sitting alone in the channel owned by you --
I don't care.
: Also, you may have created a that channel, and maybe even
: are keeping it open with a bot, but you can never 'own' it. All
: it takes is for you to have a server problem and you could 'lose'
: the channel, then someone else could create it.
That's not completely correct. Some networks offer you to own the
channel as a server feature -- you only get operator status if you
authenticate yourself with a passwd.
We have protected our IRCNet channel with a bot -- too many people
misunderstood the 'Girl' part of the channel name and annoyed the
chatters.
