Well, I didn't see flooding as an issue, becuase the only server i'm on that has a flood limit is my own, but then i have the operstatus to back me up. but i also wasn't thinking about the users who might use this snippet. i also wanted to make it into a dialog, where you can add your own actions or things to say to people on entry, or to certain people on entry, using possibly an ini file or whatever. however. with my lack of knowledge in scripting, it'll be a while >.< but Ty for the input! much appreciated!
