I know channels cost 2500 warps a month and there's probably no solution in the short-term, but thoughts on channels being removed so other users could get the channel name? Like if a channel has low members and hasn't had a post in over a month. It would get disbanded so someone else could maybe get the channel name they were looking for?

Haha, that sounds interesting, just like in the game Frenpet, when a pet is about to starve, other people can put the pet to sleep. 

Similarly, in real life, if a shop is not doing well, it can change owners

host：/dev-memes

active：/recaster

exactly haha!! There's a channel I got my eye on but it's taken, am looking for other names as of now

Oh okay I did not know that!! Thank you so much Maru, I'll have to look into that and contact them

Perhaps it’s possible to negotiate with the original channel owner to try a host transfer. 
Being able to directly buy and sell channel names would be the most convenient. Although it seems there isn’t much market demand for this at the moment.
