Ping for motd.

[columb]

Something like {ping!localhost!motd}

The length of the motd is going to be much higher then 16 characters, I wonder how this should be handled.

[columb]

Cut if off to 16 symbols or if there is something like {ping!localhost!motd2} - place second part here.
I don't think that I would go above 16 symbols anyway.

[fuzzybot]

So like {ping!hostname.tld:port!motd} which will print the motd, stripped of colors, and capped at 16 characters?

[columb]

Yeah. Not sure about colours though.
