Home
Updated Reworked completely to remove a third party plugin.
After initially pushing for a "full page" style of the home page to be attractive to 'new' people I have decided to do a full 180 as numerous complications arose from the plugin we used, how "uninformative" it actually was because of these complications and how "chaotic" the site looked, taking the navbar's contents into account. It also used some very old points of data which have been indirectly replaced with other endpoints.

Message of the Day
Updated Reworked to match the contents of the new home page.
The "fit everything inside the tf2 motd" approach was not working and resulted in other important content being left out completely. This aims to have more "DFS" inside the MOTD which now displays the most recent announcement, update and other handy resources to check out depending how much information you seek inside the MOTD.
