Stack Join/Leave Messages

About the plugin

This plugin was originally inspired by the spam of people joining, and leaving servers with that ugly "player has joined the server." over, and over. Some of you know on more popular servers they have disabled it completely, but I am one of those people that enjoy seeing them. I just want them to be less spammy. So I came up with a very simple plugin for the server I played on at the time. So all this plugin does is when a player joins/leaves the message is canceled. The name of the user is stored into an array, and every 3 minutes if the array of people that have joined, or left has a que, it will announce a message according to how many people have joined. An example of a message would be:

"In the past 3 minutes player1, player2, player3, and x others have joined!"

I have been reluctant to release it publicly on bukkitdev for months as I did not really feel a need to. It has though been available to whomever knows of my github, and/or my Jenkins build server, as I have it on there. I decided I would release it, and see what people thought. I have not really seen anyone else release something similar, and if people like this I am willing to add more features accordingly to what you recommend. If it does catch on, I will be adding support to customize the messages, and a configuration file to configure it.

Now I know some of you still hate to see those pesky messages so, I there is a command for those users. They can use '/stackjoinleave toggle' or '/sjl toggle', and it will toggle the messages on, and off for the specific user that has entered the command.

Installation

Its very simple, download, drop in folder, and either restart/reload, or load it with something like plugman.
Please leave your opinions, as it will determine if I move forward with this project or not.
