Here's something to consider: Right now there are no "secure" CS:S servers. What do you think the VAC development team might be working on right now? Regardless of the many arguments that the cheat-complainers will make...I've noticed that they complain much less when VAC is updated frequently.

Hey there dudes, Is there any way to get some form of ID for CS:Source without having the rcon password? Getting users to submit demos and ID's for cheaters generally becomes a problem when the "status" command just brings up a huge bunch of (to them) useless information. It'd be appreciated if
