This MOTD problem exists on CSS as well since the July 2 update. It
will not display the motd on the first server you join. Once you join a
second server the motd works as usual for all servers, including the
first one you joined if you return. It is pretty ridiculous that we have
to use the page refresh trick to fix this. Please Valve, this has been
around for a long time, lets get it fixed.

I found that with "forked" TF2 servers, if you define a different
motdfile
then it doesn't take effect until the next mapchange. At least in my
case,
my MvM server is launched from the same files as my PvP server but I
load
different servercfgfile and motds, but the motd is default until a
map
change.

I've had the same problem for some time ago. This is how my motd.txt
looks
now:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"

<h1>blablabla</h1>

</html>
For me, it seemded like I had to wait some time before it acutally
worked, but it loads everytime just fine right now. Sometimes, the
html is showed before the actual website-motd is showed....
