Would be possible to add an option to display a custom text in chat Window when user logs in?
I see three possibilities here:

- provide option in RAS protocol, so when a script gives OK to log an user it will also set the text user will see.
- add an option to retrieve text from an URL
- allow to set custom text from code parameters

A custom text would open a lot of possibilities for site's owners. A MOTD could be easly created and updated (now to view an updated welcome text, users must reload the client) or even a list of last connected users for who use RAS. Also greeting or special messages based on user informations could be created on the fly.

If this option is too complex to add I have another suggestion: allow to show to users who connected before them, with nick and time (possibly avoiding duplicates). This would help people to know if there has been activity and if they can expect friends to back in chat soon.
