Best Amiga / retro computing IRC channels?

I just added an IRC client to my badass Amiga board, aBSINTHE BBS. Since I've never been a big IRC user I don't know what the best channels are. Could someone recommend active Amiga and Retro Computing/Gaming channels that I can add for members? Thanks!

Everyone in IRC is always idling, but join the EAB one!

You have to break it, with a sledgehammer, talk, and someone will crawl from under they rock.
I do it all the time, they must hate me haha :P

One also has to take into account all different timezones!

Ha, yes! I've tried chipping in but have been steadfastly ignored! I think it's probably just me. It's a shame though as the Atari irc channel i occasionally look into (boo hiss spit) is pretty active.

If I'm in there I'll chat, I tend to only sign in when I can chat though. I'm not an idler ��

Couple pretty active channels (in today's standards):

##amiga @ Freenode for generic Amiga chatting
#amigascne @ IRCnet for demoscene related talk
#morphos @ Freenode for MorphOS talk

Then there are handful of quite big demoscene or national channels everywhere, but I think those previous could be counted as good all-around channels to start with.
