How to keep ORGINAL channel's name? #99427 01/10/04 06:36 PM

Because there are so many people joined in his channel lately, he's afraid that maybe his channel may be rename. I was just wondering if that is possible. Can a channel be renamed if it's full? If it is true, how can I stop that from happening. Is there a way to keep the original name of the channel? Please reply this ASAP. THanx a lot Last edited by envy; 01/10/04 06:37 PM.

There are also no 'official' channels of mIRC. - Channels are, 99% of the time, completely free. It does not need to paid for. mIRC costs $20 to register, but that has nothing to do with channel registration. - Not all networks support channel registration. Some do have channel services, but are also unique to separate networks. Ask in the network's #Help channel or check out the network's website for further information. Some more info can also be found in this thread. Once a channel has people in it, it is impossible to change its name. You could always /join #anotherchannelname and then tell all the users of the original channel to go there, but you can't change the actual name of a channel, no. Regards, Mentality/Chris

When you said "one the channel has people in it", did you mean it literally?
