yeah, I remember something similar that occured this summer.
For those who don't know Dragon-Fire, the network #unitedti and #Omnimaga are hosted on, used to have an #elsanctum channel as well as a Pokemon hacking channel called #glitchcity. With the time, they relocated to another server, but the IRCops there caused trouble so they moved back to Dragon-Fire in 2008. However during the time they were there we kept having random users joining acting weird and stuff, plus near the end the other network IRCops kept coming in #omnimaga, begging for a Dragon-Fire merge with their network over and over, and often they would simply come to advertise their personal network/channels via private messages or in public. I don't know what happened but both channels have died so either they just vanished or they just moved somewhere else.
