I've seen where using a mod on Garry's Mod allows you to have a second motd, and I'm sure that it can be done for TF2 as well. Any takers? This would most likely be a very cool mod.

I think you'll have to explain what you want a bit more in-depth =/

A second motd. You know how you get to the welcome screen when joining a server? And then you see a description, which is edited by the server owner through the "motd.txt" file? Well I was thinking it would be cool to be able to have a second one, where when you click on "continue" at the bottom-right, it brings you to a second motd instead of the map description (and then goes to the description if you click on 'continue' again).

And considering you can only have a 2kb sized motd in tf2, its really constricting. A second motd could prove to be extremely useful.

I believe any server that can, would install the plugin.

Wouldn't it be better to host your motd elsewhere, and just use an iframe in the motd.txt file, rather than disrupt the routine of playing on a server? If you do that, you can have an unlimited amount of space for your motd, and you allow the player to keep their experience constant.

Or just put the url to your motd in motd.txt and it'll redirect by itself

No, I'm talking about a plain-text motd. Maybe the second one I'd use for an iframe.
