The (nick) is in fact part of the topic, but there is a reason why chanserv
does that. Some people prefer to know who set the topic last. If services
sets the topic from topic retention, then the server is going to say
services did it. So, when services sets the topic, it adds on to the end who
set it last. To remove it, it's as simple as going to the end of the line
and either hitting backspace repeatedly or hiliting it and hitting delete or
backspace, whatever floats your boat. Personally, I like this feature, and
there are ideas I have on improving it, but that would require modifications
from the ircd and services, not just services, and would possibly violate
rfc, I dunno about that for sure though. Anyways, this is really the first
complaint I've seen about this out of all the users we have on our server.
