[Suggestion] Disable / Remove Locked Channel Index #4

@JCollins2048

Description

@JCollins2048

Suggested idea

Disable or remove the code that causes the "TTRP" channel to force its way to the first channel slot in a character's chat-cache.txt.

More details

This is a really easy one to fix. Simply remove or comment out the code TurtleRP.channelIndex = 0 from TurtleRP.lua. This prevents the channel from strong-arming its way into the first channel slot (channelIndex 0), thus messing up the order of a user's chat channels.

Further comments

I don't understand why some AddOns that use custom channels absolutely insist that their channel be the first indexed channel.
Granted, the only AddOns that I've encountered that use this function are this one and, oddly enough, LookingForTurtles, the official Turtle WoW implementation of the retail Dungeon Finder. Go figure on that one…

If there's a function-related reason for this, I'd love to learn about it, but since commenting out the code in my local copy (as well as in LookingForTurtles), I haven't noticed any chance of functionality.

Cheers!
