In mIRC go into Options (Alt + O) then IRC then Options and check "Hide ping? pong! event" and voila! no more Ping? Pong! messages

Incidentally, this is what the server uses to check your connection is still alive when you are inactive in IRC for an extended amount of time.

if you arent happy with mirc, though (gg (lol) steal my helpy fing :(Nah, wp GG ;))) there are several alternatives. visit http://www.valinor.sorcery.net/clients/platforms-windows.html for them - but be aware its highly unlikely ppl can script for it =]

I've always liked the standard mirc with the addon scripts, I've tried extreme but its just way more than I need.

I can't script very well for Virc 2, probably because I've never bothered to read the documentation, but I doubt it's really difficult, although I admit mIRC is easier.

mIRC seems to have a wonderful balance between complexity and simplicity, so you shouldn't need to use anything else :E
