http://freenode.net/policy.shtml#primarychannels

  Primary channel names, formatted with a single leading hash mark (#),
  are reserved for participating groups and organizations based on their
  legal or informal claim to the associated name or name prefix.

http://freenode.net/policy.shtml#topicalchannels

  Topical or reference channels names, formatted with two leading hash
  marks (##), are allocated on a first-come, first-serve basis to
  unofficial groups wishing to discuss a project, group or general topic
  area.

I don't consider the server name to legal or informal claim, so I used
the ##. I also kept the channel +s (secret) so it won't show up in /list
commands, in order to keep passerbys low.
