While true loop not infinite?

Question

So I am making a bot that connects to a twitch irc chat. Here is the code:

Console.WriteLine("Joining Room");
IrcClient irc = new IrcClient("irc.twitch.tv", 6667, "ScottBots", "oauth:asdasd");

irc.joinRoom("ScottBots");
Console.WriteLine("Joined Room");

int i = 0;

while (true)
{
    string message = irc.readMessage();
    if(message.Contains("!helps"))
    {
        irc.sendChatMessage("Welcome to ScottBots! Currently in development.");
    }
    Console.WriteLine("loop: " + i);
    i++;
}

Look the the while true loop... Everything good?

Now look at what this console application gives me:

Joining Room
Joined Room
loop: 0
loop: 1
loop: 2
loop: 3
loop: 4
loop: 5
loop: 6
loop: 7
loop: 8
loop: 9

It just stops at 9?

Many of ya'll have been asking for my ircClient Code:

private string username;
    private string channel;

    private TcpClient tcpClient;
    private StreamReader inputStream;
    private StreamWriter outputSteam;

    public IrcClient(string ip, int port, string username, string password)
    {
        this.username = username;

        tcpClient = new TcpClient(ip, port);
        inputStream = new StreamReader(tcpClient.GetStream());
        outputSteam = new StreamWriter(tcpClient.GetStream());
        try
        {
            outputSteam.WriteLine("PASS " + password);
            outputSteam.WriteLine("NICK " + username);
            outputSteam.WriteLine("USER " + username + " 8 * :" + username);
            outputSteam.Flush();
        } catch (Exception e)
        {

        }

    }

    public void joinRoom(string channel)
    {
        try
        {
            this.channel = channel;
            outputSteam.WriteLine("JOIN #" + channel);
            outputSteam.Flush();
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Failed to join room");
        }

    }

    public void sendIrcMessage(string message)
    {


        try
        {
            outputSteam.WriteLine(message);
            outputSteam.Flush();
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("failed to run sendIrcMessage() method");
        }
    }

    public void sendChatMessage(string message)
    {
        sendIrcMessage(":" + username + "!" + username + "@" + username + ".tmi.twitch.tv PRIVNSG #" + channel + " : " + message);
    }

    public string readMessage()
    {
        string message = inputStream.ReadLine();
        return message;
    }

It looks like one of irc.SendChatMessage() or irc.ReadMessage() is blocking, perhaps when it runs out of buffered input/output and needs to wait on the socket.

EDIT: Almost certainly the irc.ReadMessage() call is blocking. It's calling ReadLine() against a Stream which is in turn linked to a TcpClient. You probably want to look into either threading and/or asynchronous callbacks if you want to build an IRC bot and test rig. Here's an example (not IRC-related): http://sunildube.blogspot.ca/2011/12/asynchronous-tcp-client-easy-example.html
