As am I. It allows my users to easily access the public backpacks of other users, check their SteamRep status, add other users as friends without needed to exchange information, view various information about the server, among a plethora of other things. It is an invaluable resource; printing 100+ lines to the fucking CHAT BOX is completely absurd and unfeasible. Not to mention that it is pretty much impossible to print anything other than text to the box.
All that being said, the IDEAL solution would be some sort of way for servers to forward addresses to the overlay's browser, with the user's consent. For example, I run the command *!bp 1337Trader* and a little notification pops up in the lower right corner of the screen. I shift+tab, and see a little box asking for my permission to open 1337Trader's backpack page on backpack.tf. I don't see this happening any time soon, though. Derek D.
