Pending Shoutbox repop integration

[Siddo]

Very minor but potentially neat QoL suggestion.

Unsure of the practical challenges associated with it. But I noticed that repops in Discord don't get posted to shoutbox at all.
I assume there may be some logic like excluding bot messages, the way the bot posts the repop being incompatible with shoutbox, etc.

But I was thinking perhaps it was possible to create a slight integration, where once a repop is executed, the forums interpret that message and also posts a "Giant Bot: TTT Repop: [steam connect to server hyperlink here]" or just a "Repop ongoing! Join <server> to get the party going." or whatever.

iirc, sgm shoutbox had this, but minimal. just colored text and i think an exclamation mark near the beginning of the message. not sure if this shoutbox could do any of that, but it'll be nice.

yea I believe SGM shoutbox did have that so I would love to see it implemented here, especially in a bright coloured text so it catches people eyes easily! +1
