Intrusive? Make the font a little smaller maybe? If it's abused it's the users choice to leave the server.

VALVE? I never knew that text could be so intrusive. Is it: a) The colors (think of the children!), b) The letters themselves (which could, on occasion, be combined to form words), or, c) The fact that they can be arbitrarily positioned? There's already a way to do "b" (white, centered), so I'm guessing there must be something abjectly heinous about the other two. If such is the case, why not add something for coloring but not positioning, or something for positioning but not coloring? ---David Anderson http://www.bailopan.net/ Yahn Bernier wrote: > Alfred and I discussed and there was too much concern that it would be > abused so we're going to leave it out for now.
