Hello Fellow Admins,

Our community's list of rules and other info I want listed on the MOTD of our 
TF2 servers is too much to list in the motd.txt file. It's really not that much 
stuff, but Valve restricts the file size of motd.txt so much that when 
incorporating all I need to put in there, the file exceeds the limit of what it 
can be and the MOTD appears blank, even though there's text in the file. I 
don't know why they do this!!!!! 

Removing some data from the motd.txt file to lower its size and thus works, but 
I want more info in there. Can anyone suggest an alternative solution to using 
the motd.txt file for displaying an MOTD that will hold everything I need until 
Valve decides to increase the file size limit on motd.txt?

In the old days of CS:S Servers I ran, I used to link an html image file with 
all the stuff I needed in the motd.txt file to display the info, but with all 
the changes to TF2 over the past year, I don't know if I can still do this. I'd 
love it if this stuff still works:

I'm curious what you guys do on your servers for this, so if you're sitting in 
your office at work and bored out of your mind watching the rain or snow fall 
and would rather talk about our favorite game and help a brother out, respond 
and let me know what you think I should do. 

Happy Friday!
