It's probably not a good idea to 'squat' on an IRC channel. My
(admittedly limited) understanding of IRC is that the operators will
do a sweep every now and then, and turf out anyone who's sitting on a
channel. However, I also understand that a channel with a double hash
mark is better tolerated by the sysops, so I would recommend we use
##gtalug instead.

And if we're well behaved, we might graduate to #gtalug one day.
