Which file is responsible for displaying:

You are the X caller of the day!

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

System : Your BBS Name Here
User #X : Your Name
Logons Today : 10 (Max XXXX)
Time on Today : 169 (Max XXXX)
Mail Waiting : XX (Unread X)
Sysop is : Not Available

text.dat/text.ini

[X] Read your mail now? [No] Yes

Same (text.dat/text.ini).

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 wheth er the availability is toggled on or off and cannot find > where this block is coming from to see how I might go about this.

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.
