Hey, First real post, made a MOTD.. Nothing flashy just, meh. Sorry if the codes pretty amateur, not that advanced. Unfortunately doesn't have a config file just need to go into cl_init.lua and change the URL to your websites rules or whatever you desire.

I don't exactly see the point for the model on the right hand side. The font on the buttons is hard to read and using the default font while changing how the button looks just doesn't work that well. I also don't really see the point to a full-screen MOTD, I would suggest confining it to a smaller frame.

Its just sitting there, I don't notice much balance. It feels like it was just thrown in randomly.

I generally recognize the server I play on judging on the player model that is set. It can always be removed and HTML be enlarged.

Keep up the good work, for your first post, not to bad!
Not too bad. Just remove the player model and make the window bigger and this MOTD would be pretty decent. Oh, and the font color could e changed as well.

Thanks again <3

Well done man, keep it up. Practice makes improvement not perfection.
