I use # over $chan cause # is 1 character where $chan is 5. Im lazy, true enough, and the less I have to type the better lol However, in scripting/aliases/popups, it really depends. I have both of them in my scripts an (roughly) equal amount so it's hard to say which I prefer. I think I have it this way cause in older scripts # didnt work the way $chan did 9for me for some reason) and so I just use one unless it doesnt work then I change it to the other and if it works then, I keep it
