I used to live on IRC, but it's been years since I was a regular user. Are channel takeovers still a thing? That was one of the things that turned me off on it after getting locked out of the channel I called home for most of a decade.
- progval 8y agoNo, channel admins register their channel to a bot (ChanServ) with special privileges over the network, so the bot can never be taken over. I've been using IRC for about a decade, and almost all networks I have seen have such a bot.
