Even more Q3A data harvesting -- 8:09 pm CST, Update by The Master

sCary posted on the Shack that the whole GL_RENDERER string thing was alluded to in the 1.08 Q3ATest. Check it (snipped from the Q3test_instructions_readme.txt from that rev):
When Quake 3 Arena starts a map up, it sends the GL_RENDERER string to the Message Of The Day server at id. This responds back with a message of the day to the client. If you wish to switch this option off, set CL_MOTD to 0 (+set CL_MOTD 0 from the command line).
A.T. adds: Perhaps id is not so sneaky and underhanded after all? Obviously no one reads the readme :)
