I am here on behalf of a group I'm in that runs an UnrealIRC 3.2.7 server, and we had this feature before so i know that its possible without services (we've never had or used them)
Our server is for a gaming clan, and it is set so that only staff can create channels, however some channels are for certain groups of users that tend to empty out and go away. Previously we had channels somehow remain open even when there was nobody in them. We found this a very useful feature, but our server crashed several months ago and this feature was lost, and frequently nobody is available or able to make the channels that certain users require.
Bram Matthys is registered on our forums and has helped solve these problems before, so if possible he would be an excellent person to help out with this problem.
Thank you for your help.

Perminant Channels
Re: Perminant Channels
If i am not mistaken you are talking about Official channels which appear in the list even though no one is in the channel. If this is the case then who ever runs the server needs to add an Official Chanels block:
Hope this helps 
Code: Select all
official-channels { #channelname { topic "topic here";}};
