You could just take a look at the ULX Vote. It has a popup that gives options and teh user needs to press the number on their keyboard that corresponds with the option they wish to vote for.

Sorry, I just assumed because of the forum you posted in that you were interested in making this yourself. (/sarcasm)

But in all seriousness, what you asked for in your OP was something along the lines of a vote system, and Im pretty sure unless you are asking one of us to do this for you, you wont find anything that automatically does exactly what you want it to do.

As for this, goto the releases section, check up on Umotd.

No, it wouldn't be hard. As for cost, well, I'm not offering services. Though your idea is an excellent idea, it may be done by the Umaps author for free some day.
Then again, he's as busy as most other folks here.

Avi, this forum has a 'STEAM_ID' field for donators and other people we've granted access. This steam ID is stored in SQL.
ULib on our game server looks up the steamid of every person who joins. If they're granted access here through our forum, they get whatever access matches on the server.
I understand you're experience, age, patience or lack of time can prevent you from learning, but, having a NEED or WANT is the best motivation to learn anything. Wheter it be Lua, or SQL.
I know enough to be dangerous of several different scripting languages. I know nothing of SQL. I've not found the motivation to learn, other than thinking "I'd like to learn it some day". Some day still hasn't arrived.

Jay, I'm pretty sure he meant multi server, single access look ups. Not just the informational lookup like that of UMotd.

Would something in Umotd work like: ["motd"] = "http://yoursite/motd.txt",   ?

Yes, you wouldn't even need 'motd.txt' on that.
However, He wants a single file to grant access for multiple servers. The opposite of UBan - Multi servers, single ban database. But instead, multi servers, single access database.
Umotd only provides information in a visual format, it's not meant to be a multi server ULib user.txt lookup

I have just over a week of school left, after which I'll have much more time to spend on other stuff. Since there appears to be interest, I will likely be doing a full rewrite of UMaps at that time.
