Channels

It would rock to get a list of channels and their uses I'll include some that I know, and there uses for the final draft we should leave some out

• #mtu General discussion for both student and alumni.
• #linux General Linux discussion, and help
• #beginners A place for newer people to Linux to hang out and get help. (Will have to ask Lego or ehntoo to be sure)
• #MTUstudents General discussion for current MTU students.
• #botsex For letting bots talk to each other in an attempt to being down the IRC server
• #ballpit "We're adults now, so it's our turn to decide what that means." No adults allowed ;)
• #prfc This channel is for PFCR members to let loose and talk about anything and everything science/PFRC related.

• I'm not sure what the alumni channel is called anymore, they changed it.
