Public Function ExplodeClient(product As String) As String

Select Case UCase(product)
    Case "STAR"
        ExplodeClient = "Starcraft"
    Case "SEXP"
        ExplodeClient = "Starcraft: Broodwar"
    Case "JSTR"
        ExplodeClient = "Starcraft: Japanese"
    Case "SSHR"
        ExplodeClient = "Starcraft: Shareware"
    Case "W2BN"
        ExplodeClient = "Warcraft II: Battle.net Edition"
    Case "WAR3"
        ExplodeClient = "Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos"
    Case "W3XP"
        ExplodeClient = "Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne"
    Case "DRTL"
        ExplodeClient = "Diablo Retail"
    Case "DSHR"
        ExplodeClient = "Diablo Shareware"
    Case "D2DV"
        ExplodeClient = "Diablo II"
    Case "D2XP"
        ExplodeClient = "Diablo II: Lord of Destruction"
    Case "CHAT"
        ExplodeClient = "chat bot"
    Case Else
        ExplodeClient = "an Unknown Product"
End Select

End Function

Usage:

AddChat("User joined using product " & ExplodeClient(product)

Another way -- use a resource file with a string table.

To try and elaborate more on this, the reason this method would be more beneficial is it would keep you from having to update the bots code when new products types need to be added. All you would have to do is update the resource file.
