On client auth, have their steamid and ip shoved into a sql table. Then have the motd redirect to another page with user browsing's ip in the url (blah.com/motd?ip=255.255.255.255). Then it's just a simple case of grabbing the row from the sql table using their IP to get their steamid and then their stats/whatever you want.
