Union Badgehunters and the next global crash

The global server has crashed again. I had to re-create two channels today. However, it seems NCsoft recreates the larger channels, among them "Union Badgehunters".

Please, the next time you recreate this channel and all its members, rename it. Call it UnionBadgehunters, Union-Badgehunters, Union_Badgehunters or anything else, as long as it is ONE word.

The reason is that I (and many others with me) are using keybinds to send messages in the different channels. A keybind like this:

CTRL+S "show chat$$beginchat /send MyChannel [$name-$level] "

will prime the chat line so that any message i type will be sent to MyChannel. This lets me avoid mistells and keeps my regular conversations in team chat.

Sadly, this does not work with a two-word channel name, like "Union Badgehunters". It does work for a short while, but the bind quickly gets corrupted and stops working, to great annoyance.

I hope the other people in this great channel can live with a name change.
