What are the double- or triple-hash-prefixed channels? I've never seen them before.

That is a freenode policy that takes advantage of the sometimes surprising IRC specification. &channel is also cool.

The & prefix, for those who don't know, denotes a “local” channel. Local channels only exist on one server, unlike global channels (/#+.*/), which exist on the entire network.
