Why is it that when you do a // tag (like //me) and put a (!) tag in it (like (!IP)) it won't actually show your IP, it will say /me (!IP). It's not anything super important but i'm just curious........

Because a double slash ("//") is used as a literal identifier. Everything after it will be literal text, no tags, no commands, etc... This is not a bug at all...
If you want to use commands, you must only write 1 slash in front. eg:
/me (!IP)
and not
//me (!P)
Also see http://www.msgplus.net/help_cmdtag.php and the "/text" command.
