MrShout - Broadcast messages with sound effects!

What?

Are you tired of trying to get your players attention on your server? Well... this plugin is the solution! It's a lightweight plugin that lets you broadcast/shout a message with a nice attention drawing sound. Every online player will hear the sound you selected (exept if their volume is down). This is a solution when your players are talking with others on Skype or Teamspeak or just not watching the chat. No, you don't need Spout or some other sh*t!
