The server that was giving me trouble was:

irc.teambg.net if you want to check it out and see
what's different about it than other IRC servers. I'm
completely new to IRCing, so, I couldn't even begin to
sort out what was going on.

I don't know if it did or not. I overwrote what I had.
I was running 0.8.1. Josh helped me to sort out the
Ping/Pong problem.

I also had to go through and add -mregexp by hand to
all the matching calls. I don't have it as my default
setting and it was causing REALLY weird output on my
screen. 

All seems to be running well now, except my automatic
logger doesn't recognize me connecting to an IRC world
as something to trigger logging. Hmm.
