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