I didn't know any of the IRC servers were even up anymore. I built a C# IRC client some time ago.

The biggest thing I learned is, *process the messages asynchronously* or your client will easily get flooded.

And that creates UI problems due to the threading issue.

I used the Winforms Control's ISynchronizeInvoke interface to raise events so that my events were raised on the UI thread even though they were processed on the threadpool.

Nowadays there's probably a more elegant way to do it using the newish async model in .NET

just be careful out there. =) The client can be deceptively complicated, even though the protocol itself is pretty easy.

Put scripting in it. Everyone uses scripts if they're serious IRC heads.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.
