On the whole I think this is a REALLY good thing, but it's likely to  
get a lot of pushback from people in support roles when they find  
they're forgetting to join a group.

One of the things that makes this work in IRC is that, traditionally,  
there is a "command mode" in IRC clients. You can stick a bunch of  
commands into your .ircrc or equivalent and have it always do

/join #group_help
/join #customer_support

Graphical clients may not always have this, but they generally have  
an option to join certain channels when you log in anyway. You might  
want to implement one or the other of these options when the  
complaints hit. :)
