Topic:The topic is one of the first lines of text you see when you enter any channel, on most IRC clients, and it can be different for every channel. It usually gives you a quick idea of why the channel is there, and it may include relevant websites or other necessary information. The topic should always be the first thing that you look for when you join a channel, because most people use the topic as the place to put the most important information.
