You must be new to IRC - channels moving servers is not at all new. It's pretty unusual for server admins to actively resist it though.

- that_guy_iain 5y agoI left IRC almost a decade ago. Channels moving servers honestly, rarely happened in my day. The networks were all pretty much set up. You may get smaller communities changing from smaller networks but that was it and that was generally a friendly affair if it wasn't the channel was forced closed by the network admins. Most of the channels moving have never moved before. And those that did, did 10-20 years ago. It is a rare event.
- cmsj 5y ago¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I've been on IRC since the 90s and a number of channels I've been part of in that time, have renamed, fractured into multiple channels, moved to other public servers, moved to private servers, etc, etc. This is the first time I've encountered IRCops trying to stop it from happening.
