Idea: Nickname from text file by Veggie on 10-27-2004 at 05:23 PM

would it be possible to change your current nickname to the first line (or random multiple lines) of a text file, which is stored on a webserver?
would need to be auto refreshed etc

this would be useful for webmasters to have dynamic nicknames powered from their website,

just a thought..

yeah but the idea is so that people can use serverside languages to alter the text file to make it dynamic
