Sure. Still, in my experience, having an official (mainly meaning in
this context: "always the same") and easy to guess channel name helps in
reaching the critical mass, assuming there is the intention to do it.

Have it official is quite easy: just register the channel via chanserv
and invite chanserv to join it so that it never get hijacked by others,
not even temporarily. (Note that I don't remember how to invite
chanserv, but I know it is possible)

Regarding being easy to guess, well, ... #debtags is perfect :-)

But still, a channel on debtags is from time to time a need of mine, if
it is not shared by others of course forget about it.

Cheers.
