I am not sure what you're trying to achieve on this. There's one clear
reason I wouldn't like this to see happen: if people wanted to be in
#ubuntu-offtopic, they would be there. I know I wouldn't be there if I
weren't an #ubuntu op. What I would see happening, is simply these
people creating just some another channel to gather up most likely.

What I would suggest as an option, is to promote #ubuntu-offtopic in
these smaller -ot channels, perhaps in that join message or what it
was.
