Post subject:  A Suggestion - MOTD vs Default Scroll Setting
To me, this just looks bad. For somebody making their first visit to our Mud, it just suggests inattention, which isn't a fair first impression.

Code:

Solution.

Either cut the necessary line or two out of the MOTD, or extend the default scroll setting to the necessary number of lines. Very few people (or so I would guess) still use the default 24 lines that came with the original character based operating systems.
