460832 2006-06-05 22:20:00 Not sure if channel is the right word. Something like #php or #apache. Is that called channel? Room? :blush:

Anyway, I want to set one up. How can I go about it?

460833 2006-06-05 22:43:00 On most IRC servers just joining the channel will create it - e.g. /join #apache will create the #apache channel. Erayd (23)
460834 2006-06-06 00:04:00 Oh really?

So basically, if I told some people to join #idontexist, then when the first person goes there, #idontexist will be created, and anyone who joins after that will be able to talk to each other?

Neato. Thanks.

460835 2006-06-06 00:05:00 It depends on the network as to whether they will let you create random new channels. Generally though, you can do as Bletch suggests.

I would check with that networks website to see if there's any information.

Usually if there's no one in the channel it's removed again.

460836 2006-06-06 00:09:00 I, oh havn't chosen a network yet, so I will just go with whatever has the 'spontaneous create' thing. Any suggestions? mejobloggs (264)
460837 2006-06-06 01:07:00 You should also be aware that the first user to join #idontexist will have admin/mod rights for that channel. Erayd (23)
460838 2006-06-06 02:31:00 Right, so it would be better to be able to set up a 'permanent' channel with me as admin. Thanks for your help. mejobloggs (264)
