Really annoying spam when the IRC server is unreachable.

Hmm, it should try several times though, the stack trace does allow you to see where stuff is going round if the IRC server was down, but maybe after 5 can't connects it idles for an hour before trying again?

Well, I'd be fine with it if it didn't show 18 lines of text each time it fails, 2 or 3 is enough.

Personally I like the spammy error messages because some users don't notice there are errors otherwise. I'm serious.

How about just reducing the frequency at which it tries to reconnect, by using exponential backoff? Better for the irc servers, better for your console logs.
