MOTD & News
== Purpose ==
The goal of this plugin it to allow for a multi-line MOTD to be displayed to the users upon connection. All lines of the MOTD are configurable from both the server console and in-game without needing a restart of the server or a /reload of the plugins. You can also update the MOTD on the Server Connection page on-demand. Once changed you have the option to broadcast the new MOTD to all online players (on-demand, not scheduled).

Could you make it so that there is a list of different MOTD's that the plugin randomly chooses between (for the server/ping list)? Thanks

What error are you getting? What version of bukkit are you running and what version of the minecraft client?
This plugin is awesome! However, there is one problem that kills me: When I try to bring up the server with this plugin active, it throws an error, which makes it look like my server is down in the Server List on Minecraft, but you can still connect to it.
Wow! This looks promising! Thanks for designing it! :)
