Ditto, that was my entry to 'programming' - to begin with it consisted of copying a bunch Runescape stats scripts from Hawkee and running on my desktop. As it progressed I included some persistence for some feature, implemented by creating a bunch of global variables with the user's nick as the first part of it. I think I felt that storing to file was overcomplicating things, bearing in mind that I was pretty young at the time.

I do recall coming across some scaling issues, which I resolved by spinning up another instance of mIRC and running it with the name <botname>2. That seemed to work pretty well. 'v2' came next, wholly consisting of changing all of the scripts' colours to be homogeneous.
