  40 &gt;<i>I am using a fairly old and modified version of ircservices so I
  41 </I>&gt;<i>apologise if this is no longer the behaviour of ircservices.  I just
  42 </I>&gt;<i>thought I better report it in case it is.
  43 </I>&gt;<i>
  44 </I>&gt;<i>I had a report from a channel founder that his channel had suddenly
  45 </I>&gt;<i>ceased to exist.  On further investigation it had apparently
  46 </I>&gt;<i>expired, even though people had been using the channel.
  47 </I>&gt;<i>
  48 </I>&gt;<i>I worked it out when I looked at their LEVELS settings.  They don't
  49 </I>&gt;<i>like being auto opped, so they had disabled AUTOOP.  When they
  50 </I>&gt;<i>needed ops they would just use /msg chanserv op.  However, using
  51 </I>&gt;<i>chanserv op does not update the channel's last_used time.  Hence
  52 </I>&gt;<i>their channel expired even though they were using it every day.
  53 </I>&gt;<i>
  54 </I>&gt;<i>It did give me a bit of amusement, but whilst disabling autoop like
  55 </I>&gt;<i>that is not a popular choice it is a valid one and should not result
  56 </I>&gt;<i>in expiration of channel; I made a quick fix by make ci-&gt;last_used
  57 </I>&gt;<i>get updated every time check_access returns success.
