To provide informations to users, channel ops can set a topic for their channel. The problem is that the lenght of the topic is limited(usually 128 chars) so you can't offer enough informations to your channel users(maybe a link and a short description). If you want to offer more info to your channel users you need to send them messages or notices and that means you must be online day and night. The acronym CIL stands for Channel Info Label and it is an Ole IRC Client protocol that helps channels owners/ops to overcome the limitations of the IRC protocol. You can use CIL to give your channel an unique look and feel, to provide users useful links to your website or to other websites and to provide users access to media streams.
