I'm taking a look at it. If I can fix it I'll try to update before the
end of today.

Re: [hlds] Please VALVe, keep the STEAM_1 now

2009-02-17 Thread Garry Newman
Can someone explain the change to me?
Is there some reason for it?

Should I just make GMod change it back to the old format?

I think they're just trying to test the servers, not start a community

Re: [hlds] 32x servers all over! Yay!

2008-02-29 Thread Garry Newman
Am I the only one in favour of this? When I'm looking for TF servers I
don't want to join a server just to find that people are shooting
lasers out of their eyes. I want to join a vanilla server that's set
up and balanced by the people that made the game.

If I wanted to play with too many players, or with eye lasers, I'd
specifically look for that - and this has made those servers easier to
find. Right?

Re: [hlds] Custom tab is / will kill of popular servers :(

2008-03-01 Thread Garry Newman
Can't you just make your server normal and have it shown on the Internet tab?

Surely servers with mods should be niche and people should go looking for them.
