You can display a message for connecting clients with sv_motd. The message is only displayed once upon joining for the client.

You are allowed to patch the client your server used in order to do things like this. This is basically what TSPG does aswell. I have no idea how it works however, but I linked this around a bit so hopefully someone will answer.

Universal way:
Put ACS that reads a CVar on the server and outputs it using
Log function.
That should work if the only thing you really want is outputting a text, and if you aren't going to make a huge automated cluster with your own server build :P
Less universal way (also if serverside Log doesn't work):
Put the same ACS but make it CLIENTSIDE and make a static text message.
