Create Your Own IRC Channel
You can easily become the operator of your own IRC channel. You can create your own channel by typing /join #channel-name where the channel name doesn't already exist on that network, as in:

This topic will be displayed to anybody executing a /list command, and may be your best chance to get people to investigate the channel.
If you need to sign off the channel, or wish to give up operator status, you can assign operator status to someone else with the /op command. You can make more than one person an operator if you want:
The /mode command lets you designate a channel that you have created to be secret or private.
