channel
n.

everything one types is read by others on that channel. Channels are named
with strings that begin with a ?#? sign and can have topic descriptions
(which are generally irrelevant to the actual subject of discussion). Some
notable channels are #initgame, #hottub, callahans, and #report. At times
of international crisis, #report has hundreds of members, some of whom take
turns listening to various news services and typing in summaries of the
news, or in some cases, giving first-hand accounts of the action (e.g.,
Scud missile attacks in Tel Aviv during the Gulf War in 1991).
