Confirmed what Intoxicated just said. I have 20 servers that rely on this motd pop-up functionality to allow players to look at rules, how-to's, and other things for our custom servers and services. Not a single server has that functionality working now. On top of that, they broke the regular MOTD a few months ago. The MOTD is notorious for reloading itself while still open due to: players joining a game, round starting, round ending, bomb dropped, respawning, and god knows how many other reasons....since then it just grays out and gives an error after game events force it's constant refresh a couple times. This is crippling to communities. Thanks Valve, jokes always on us.
