OK so it's a bit cheesey, but what the hey, I like it.  Can I have your feedback please?

I don't like the 'European' bit.  :thumbsdown:

But I love everything else  :thumbsup:

Picard said: "Make it so...." and thus it was so and for ever more.

Doggers, please use the above text for the MOTD if you wish.   We would like the changes to be ready to go by Friday evening this week if we can.  Thank you. :D

Slight problem ...

Baldric's hostname comes up as Meat Hook after server restarts.

I've changed it manually but it needs to be changed in the configs.

Another thought:

Is it possible to amend the text that you see in console as you connect to the server (before the MOTD page) to show a message similar to the new MOTD message?  They get 2 announcements then not one  :D   Maybe that's overkill, but it was justa  thought - if the server is full they'd never see the MOTD would they?
