    I am looking to create a script that will randomize the text that is presented to users from a list that will be configurable via a .cfg file depending on whether the availability is toggled on or off and cannot find where this block is coming from to see how I might go about this.

    logonlist.js. Output strings are customized via [logonlist] section in ctrl/modopts.ini (or ctrl/modopts/logonlist.ini):

    The stock logon module already has a sysop availability randomization feature. https://wiki.synchro.net/module:logon

    Have you looked at that?

    I did not realize we could could do this, thank you Rob! I've already been using a text.ini to change some of these things. I assume I can put a comma delimited list in this file as well?

    I will definitely look over all of these modules in the wiki from now on first. I'm just like a kid in a candy store and already thinking about how I can customize things futher. My ANSI skills suck, otherwise I'd have that all up to snuff too, lol!

    Thanks for all your help!

    Comma delimited lists in text.ini? No. A comma would be considered just part of the text string in the text.ini file.
