This issue may be low priority or very difficult to fix, and has been put on the back burner for the time being.
Descriptive Problem Summary:
Upon loading any irc instance via irc://, I get:
H:\Program Files\BYOND\cfg\irc.dms:108:error at 'server': unterminated or invalid embedded expression
H:\Program Files\BYOND\cfg\irc.dms:108:error at ']': statement syntax error

Numbered Steps to Reproduce Problem:
Open up an irc:// link via DS.
The first two lines are the errors in question.
Code Snippet (if applicable) to Reproduce Problem:
    time()
set desc = "([server]) Print the date and time local to the server."


Expected Results:
No issues with connecting to IRC.
Actual Results:
Just a few issues, they don't seem to be too big of an issue, though.
Does the problem occur:
Every time? Or how often? Every time
In other games? Well, it pops up it's own DS instance, so..
In other user accounts? I'd assume so.
On other computers? I'd assume so.

When does the problem NOT occur?
When using an actual IRC program.
Did the problem NOT occur in any earlier versions? If so, what was the last version that worked? (Visit http://www.byond.com/download/build to download old versions for testing.)

Workarounds:
Use something else.
IRC support has been obsolete for quite a few releases now.
