User blog comment:Ohmyn0/What's Going on with Chat/@comment-26686429-20110612134420

Something that I'd like to see is a channel topic. I idle chat here on community - and quite often I see users join, ask if I'm here and then log off - without realizing that I, and others on chat may be AFK at the time. If the channel had a topic that displayed to all users when they joined, then we could put something like "please be patient when asking for help, there might be more people able to answer your question on #wikia".
