it caould also be mircs built in "flood protection" where if you had something like
on 1:TEXT:!command:#: {
/notice $nick Line 1
/notice $nick Line 2
/notice $nick Line 3
/notice $nick Line 4
/notice $nick Line 5
/notice $nick Line 6
/notice $nick Line 7
}
and you type !command, mirc usually spits the first 5 lines out no problem, and then starts to pace itself with the other lines. Could be the same thing, your trivia bot is outputting a lot of text. Mirc decides it needs to pause itself, so you don't get kicked off the server,
