Sometimes, a user-made chat channel might have a topic that others may not want to read (for example, event spoilers, or maybe NSFW content, or whatever). It would be nice if there were some way to show this. My idea would basically be something like this:
-----
`A>>``Fchats``A.``Lcreate``A{``Nname`:`V"xkcd_109"`,`Npassword`:`V"rosebud"`,`Ntopic`:`V"spoilers for xkcd strips, enter at your own risk"``A}`
`LSuccess`
[later]
`A>>``Fchats``A.``Ljoin``A{``Nchannel`:`V"xkcd_109"``A}`
`DFailure`
xkcd_109 has a channel topic: spoilers for xkcd strips, enter at your own risk
To enter this channel, please provide `Npassword`:`V"rosebud"`
`A>>``Fchats``A.``Ljoin``A{``Nchannel`:`V"xkcd_109"``A,``Npassword`:`V"rosebud``A}`
`LSuccess`
-----
Basically, topic requires password. If topic is set, then joining without password will fail to join, and show the topic + password (password basically used as a confirmation step)

Could also have topics that are displayed on join for less important things.
`A>>``Fchats``A.``Ljoin``A{``Nchannel`:`V"town"``A}`
`LSuccess`
channel topic: discuss anything! no spam please
`C1337` `Ntown` `Jdtr` `b:::`user joined channel`b:::`

This is good.
kaitlyn's addition reminds me of the ol' MOTD messages from unix/IRC/private-game-servers-abusing-chat-functionality
