If this is happening my free TF2 lottery gets a lot less sexier. There is a
rare chance on my server that someone wins TF2 items. It then shows up the
item over a specific motd page after respawn. Most of these items are
intentional bought over the Mann Co. store to support the small TF2 team.
Agreed, I really don't want to see the MOTD disappear.
My serves don't have pinion, but we do have a few plugins that use/open the
MOTD panel with server rules, how to play (for mods) and other info. We also
have a clean html MOTD, that is, no ads or other crapware but just info on

One can question ofc if its really going to be removed, but with the
game-changing properties of the pinion plugin, its easy to see that Valve isn't

Indeed, so if Valve were considering doing something to the MOTD then
there's little point in having cl_disablehtmlmotd for the player/client to
use. Well, that's how I see it anyway.

Yes. Players have the ability to prevent anything from loading in the MOTD

I believe this opinion comes from the fact that Pinion is running

into official/community servers that means that Pinion is getting the

This isn't necessarily true. A malicious server could open a webpage in the

It seems you don't know what you're talking about. No one may run an

This is why it is called Official and why they're in the Official
