If you have psychostats you can just pull the info via IP lookup on your PS
database whitout any extra databases or plugins. Simply have your MOTD page
redirect to a php (or asp or whatever the crap you use) script and have it
lookup the SteamID from the Psychostats database using the IP of the user
connection then load whatever associated info you would need.

If HLStatsX supports IP searching then the same thing could be done by using
a server side script to add the IP into the search query for HlStatsX and
display the page that turns up.

If you have played on the Lotus Clan servers lately this page will show your
most used game name and steam id:
http://stats.lotusclan.com/

Sourceop has a similar thing going whitout the use of psychostats (using his
own plugin probably):

My friend pulled ranking stats on his CSS server's MOTD page but I can't
find the url, he's probably dead now anyway.
