I do want to put up a channel and have heard about 'channel hijacking.' Perhaps you have experienced the issue of one's IRC channel being hijacked (or unsanctioned customers entering your channel)? How will you defend your IRC route from hijacking? Should the IRC channel hijacker have to know your IRC channel code or he is able to use different way to hijack a channel? Ultimately, how difficult could it be to capture and do something against a route hijacker? Sorry if these concerns are ameteurish but I'm a new comer to mIRC.
