Hey all.

I'd like to create a new IRC chatroom (channel), for friends to meet, after another long-time stomping ground has gone sour with trolls.

I'm using mIrc softwhere, and in the help section, under "creating a channel," the instructions are:

You can create a new channel if it doesn't already exist just by joining it. So, let's say you want to create a channel called #bubbles, you would just type /join #bubbles, and if it doesn't exist it will be created for you. If it does exist, you will just join it as usual

And I'd like to create a place that has a little more permenance than that, if that's possible. Or is that needed?

Any tips?
