If you care about your comments going into RT then you probably
should reply to this one, not the earlier one, as otherwise it will
open a new ticket.

17:03:20 < Vunde> Hey
17:03:52 <@AndrewR> hi, how can we help?
17:05:23 < Vunde> I have a question, the chan #DBJ-ledelsen , I presume it was
    dropped.. Because it were ok the other day, but then all of a sudden..  It
    banned me, and all kinds of stuff.. Then when I tried to fix the probs with
    it, CS constantly repeated.. "The channel #DBJ-ledelsen is not registered"
    Then I thought, that maybe as IRCOP's you could see when the chan was
    dropped, and which nick dropped it..?
17:05:36 < Vunde> was*
17:06:01 <@Tekken> Vunde: it was probably registered to a nick, which was dropped
17:06:11 <@Tekken> you should re-register it as soon as possible
17:06:24 <@grifferz> I will see what happened
17:09:28 <@grifferz> [STK]ven_hroth
17:09:29 <@grifferz> gar
17:09:32 <@grifferz> founded the channel
17:09:36 <@grifferz> that nick expired on friday
17:09:40 < Vunde> :S
17:09:42 <@Tekken> and he's never here
17:09:42 <@grifferz> channel went with it
17:09:52 <@grifferz> use successors
17:10:01 <@Tekken> so Vunde: register it yourself
17:10:04 <@grifferz> /cs help set successor
17:10:08 < Vunde> I'll remember that the next time.. :)
17:10:12 < Vunde> Thx :)

Over in #blitzed:

17:11:24 <@grifferz> I can't help feeling sorry for people whose channels expired because the founders are never there
17:11:49 <@grifferz> maybe there should be some warning onjoin if the channel is near to expiry
17:12:05 <+Iain> sounds like a plan
17:12:16 <@dg> or maybe automatically set the successor to the highest user on the access list if it's not set
17:12:32 <@grifferz> -ChanServ- This channel's founder has not been online for
    $foo and as a result this channel will be expired (DELETED) in $bar days.
    Please find your founder!
17:13:33 < Joe> have chanserv e-mail the founder x days before it expires?
17:13:39 <@grifferz> the only problem I see with automatic successors, as it
    were, is that it could end up with channels passing to people who shouldn't
    have them, and never going back.  I suppose you could say that happens
    anyway...
17:14:03 <+Iain> well if the channel expires, it's fair game anyway
