And like on EFnet, &Channels are local channels to your server only. Hence 
services cant manage them since the channel does not exsist outside the 
server you are on. If you join a second server on the same network, joining 
the same &Channel will in fact be a different channel, and you wont see 
anyone from the &Channel with an identical name on the first server.

+ and ! are other used channel prefixes, but wheter services should allow 
management of such global channels have to be considered out from their 
function.
