[13:35] <elfy> any ops about that could possibly help me wrest control of a channel back please
[13:36] <jussi> elfy: can you give more info ?
[13:36] <elfy> channel in question is #ubuntuforums-admins - I'm an admin - and like all of the current FC can't get into the channel - I suspect it's not been used for a long time and I further suspect it was set up by jdong
[13:37] <elfy> jussi: was just doing it :)
[13:37] <jussi> Looks like you need a freenode staffer for that, as they "own" it
[13:38] <elfy> jussi: ok cheers - I'll pop over there to ask then :)
[13:38] <jussi> elfy: it forwards to #ubuntuforums-mods
[13:38] <jussi> elfy: they are here some of them also
[13:38] <elfy> I'd guessed as much
[13:38] <elfy> jussi: oh - Pricey would be I guess :)
[13:38] <elfy> better to wait here or go there?
[13:39] <AlanBell> waiting here should be fine
[13:39] <jussi> elfy: either, you may get faster there
[13:39] <jussi> Myrtti: you happen to be about by any chance ?
[13:39] <elfy> jussi: no mad hurry - just going to be easier to get that sorted than to try and fiddle with a channel we have been using :)
[13:39] <elfy> AlanBell: thanks
[14:04]  * Pricey looks in
[14:05] <elfy> hi Pricey - long long time no see
[14:06] <Pricey> AlanBell: Do you want me to transfer #ubuntuforums-admins to elfy?
[14:06] <Pricey> elfy: Howdy! I always say I'll come back one day... I assume the old guard have all disappeared by now.
[14:06] <elfy> bodhi is still floating about
[14:07] <elfy> and cprofitt - but I've lost touch with most
[14:07] <Pricey> Ahh
[14:07] <Pricey> bapoumba is still around.
[14:08] <elfy> oh yea - recently returned to the fold :)
[14:08] <elfy> I thought you were talking about BT not mods
[14:08] <elfy> Pricey: other than baps I'm now one of the old guard on forum staff lol
[14:08] <Pricey> elfy: I was a mod on ubuntuforums.org a while back... was never in the BT.
[14:09] <elfy> Pricey: thought I remembered you in BT channels
[14:09] <Pricey> Sef & s.fox are the only others I recognise...
[14:09] <elfy> and yea I knew you were mod once upon a time
[14:09] <Pricey> elfy: Yes I idled.
[14:09] <elfy> aaha
[14:10] <elfy> yep - they're both admins - rarely get sef on irc though
[14:14] <Pricey> jussi: fwiw, elfy needs an Ubuntu GC, not a freenode staffer directly ;)
[14:28] <AlanBell> Pricey: yes please
[14:33] <Pricey> elfy: It is all yours. I've merely transferred the channel rather than dropping it so any existing settings will remain. You might want to double check any +I or +e entries that may exist.
[14:33] <Pricey> #ubuntuforums-admins requested by AlanBell in
[14:33] <elfy> thanks Pricey :)
[14:33] <Pricey> Whoops that's not where my # button is... silly keyboards.
[14:34] <elfy> Cannot join #ubuntuforums-admins (Channel is invite only).
[14:34] <Pricey> elfy: Let me know if that last bit doesn't make sense.
[14:34] <Pricey> elfy: /msg chanserv help invite
[14:34] <elfy> Pricey: that's not doing much other than tell me help invite
[14:35] <Pricey> elfy: Ok we've just dropped the channel so that you can start from scratch. /join it and /msg chanserv register #ubuntuforums-admins
[14:36] <elfy> ok - thanks Pricey
[14:37] <elfy> we'll set up the flags etc the same as -mods
[14:37] <jussi> Pricey: ahh, yes, of course. thanks for the reminder
[14:37] <elfy> thanks all :)
[14:37] <jussi> elfy: glad you got helped :)
[14:38] <elfy> I knew I would :)
