Eg. "Human Population: 6,494,515,113"

Any help would be appreciated.

There isn't such a plugin (yet)... although something like that can easly be made with the scripting host plugin.

To know how to make your own plugins, start by reading the standard help pages: http://www.msgplus.net/help_plugins.php (programming knowledge required though) ;)

Though, be advised that if you change your nick every 6 seconds like that, your contacts will probably be very annoyed by it. Especially if they use an addon like Plus! which can announce nick changes of contacts. Not to mention the constant data you'll be sending to MSN servers and thus also your contacts.

Personally, I would ban anybody who starts updating their nick every 6 seconds (or 10 seconds, or 15 seconds.... 30 seconds would be the thin fine line... personally)
