bleh, what do you want to tell me. You can't fix the #channel without a
dominant way. Like Robert said "I will take #danmark back and keep it".

I know. and why do you think is that so? Because human just doesn't like
to change things if its not really needed. Most users don't have to deal
with abuse. If there are takeovers... fine.. just on some smaller and some
larger channels. But they never will get all 20000(!) channels. And think
back again. If they do, just join #2, or use the !chan *hint* *hint*.
