The plugin loads fine and then gets stuck on, processing connection
here is the log with with debug set to true:
http://bit.ly/I3BdBJ

it looks like it connects, but i am then unable to join any channel what so ever. i got the suggestion in the #Monsterirc's own irc channel that the channel i was trying to join has unsupported modes set to the channel.
but the channel has only 4 modes:
no channel CTCP's
op may only change topic
No external messages to this channel
And no CHannel notices

i have also tried irc join #some random names here
with no sucess

maybe this problem is related to Quakenet ? but since its one of the largest irc network around the bot should work there.

update:
even tried undernet and esper
able to connect to the server (or so it seems) but cant join any channel.

not sure if it is relevant but im using ipv6.

Could this be due to the fact that the max amount of connections has been reached? Line 38 in your pastebin post. I will look further into this issue once I'm home from school.

i have no idea :P im no java coder but if you want me to test anything let me know.

good good :) ill test the plugin as soon as it gets updated and then reply to this post.

I'll add a failsafe to check when the IRC server has reached it's max connections. This will eliminate the posibility of the plugin not working when the server has the max amount of clients connected and should narrow down your issue :)

You are creating a channel file right? http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/monsterirc/pages/channel-setup/

Yes, i have made several for testing the name so i didn't get the wiki/information wrong. here is the info form the file named #sfg-gaming http://pastebin.com/idXm8mqp

i can also say that i right now downloaded the new build, the bot gets to the exact place as before.

here is a more debug info from the latest version:

Okay closing this issue :)

It's not finding your channel it seems, is the file extension .channel (as in #sfg-gaming.channel)

oh god do i feel silly, i thought i tested every combination of irc.channel not realising you are not supposed to change .channel :/

edited my misstake, should work now :)
16:51:34 [INFO] [MonsterIRC] Channel #sfg-gaming.channel has been successfully enabled!

the only error i get now (have seen it a couple of times) is this one:
16:52:40 [INFO] [MonsterIRC] The socket has timed out when attempting to connect!
16:52:40 [INFO] [MonsterIRC] Try running /irc reload in a few mins!

but that usually fixes itself after a reload or two.

succsess :) thx m8 i cant believe i misread the instructions that much :P the flaw of not being a native english speaker

btw, not sure if you want this one but anyways:
